Meeting called to order: 7:00 pm
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Approve minutes: Minutes from Sept 6 meeting approved. (no meeting in Oct)
2. Priority Project listing – Parks Dept – Reviewed listing of completed projects and new Priority 1-5 projects. New
projects yet to prioritize discussed, including new park land, new equipment in parks, items such as Frisbee golf and
splash pads, trails and trail lighting. Consensus of members present is that acquisition of new park land is top priority,
followed very closely by new equipment and amenities (such as structures where none exist and things such as splash
pads), then new features (such as Frisbee golf), followed by safety features or concerns (such as trail lighting).
3. Priority Project listing – Aquatics and Recreation – Reviewed prior discussions and priority listing for pools and
Rec Center. Outdoor pool has some priorities budgeted/planned for spring (floating wall, play structure) and looking at
items such as shade areas, second (outdoor) gate. Indoor pool needs new Dectron unit, otherwise may accommodate
changes as budget items. Recreation priorities include women’s locker room renovation (in budget) as well as usual
weight and exercise equipment. Soon will be need for big ticket items such as large scale building maintenance items
(painting) and vehicle replacement. Many of the possible improvement and expansion plans hinge upon room for
structure expansion and increased parking, highlighting need for likely land acquisition. Community needs and facility
use also impacted by recreation plans in nearby communities. .
4. Building and Grounds Report: briefly reviewed. New concrete at Penn Meadows Park, including all trails, path
from north lot, under bleacher areas. Winterized landscaping (consumes much time).
5. Upcoming Events: Elf on the Shelf Scavenger Hunt Nov 26-Dec 20
Holiday Vendor Fair Dec 8
