Board of Director’s Meeting
Esposito reviewed the Board of Director’s Agenda. Gallagher briefly discussed his items on the agenda, including the Fundraising Committee report and the Recreation and Open Space Committee.
Director Nomination
Erber indicated that the Director’s position that was vacated by Jack Zlotow needed to be filled at the Board meeting. She indicated that previously Rob Mossburg had been suggested. Harley Luplow was offered as another potential candidate since he has shown an interest and volunteered time to the organization. Sam DeCamp was also suggested as a candidate. Esposito said it was not necessary to fill the position immediately, that the term ended in August anyway and the position could be filled for a full term at that time. Erber indicated that she felt better about filling the position and then keeping that person on for another term starting in August. Widmar said she was particularly interested in adding a developer to the Board of Directors. Gallagher indicated that he thought Rob Mossburg would be interested and could check to see. The committee agreed that Mossburg should be nominated, assuming he is interested in serving.
Revenue Sharing Grant Application
Widmar presented the concept behind the Revenue Sharing Grant Application. Basically, the project is one that will result in a series of recommendations and a brochure of recreational facilities in the area. The project will be a process that helps to identify locations for physical linkage of the communities (open space and bike paths) and analyzes the costs associated with both existing and proposed recreational facilities. The project will also evaluate the alternative means of funding facilities, such as Recreation Authority and user fees.
The Executive Committee discussed the Revenue Sharing Grant process and requested additional information on average grant amount, total number of grants made in each funding round, and total amount disbursed. Widmar agreed to follow-up. Widmar also indicated that the process was relatively simple with a four to six page application and a presentation to the review committee. For the next funding cycle, the application is due April 30th and the presentation meeting will likely be held in mid to late May. The Executive Committee agreed that the application should be completed to fund Special Initiative 1, Action Item 3 and most of Special Initiative 2. The Committee also agreed that the maximum request that should be made is $40,000. Widmar indicated that she would estimate the costs and get back with them.
