Old Business

Ms. Kane listed the top concerns on the project list. She will return next month with quotes plus she will have contacted Mr. Hubbard or the Township Manager. She is going to set up a few summer work days besides Earth Day in April.

  1. The rails at the overlook are dangerous. Mr. Mount hasn’t had a scout interested in 2 years.
  2. The basketball hoop is broken. Members were unsure if this was just repaired and recently broken again or where Mr. Hubbard is in the procurement of new equipment.
  3. The edging on the cobble trail is in disrepair. This and the trash along Route 29 are perfect for a Work Day.

New Business
