This is the first step in establishing the logging roads as a recreational site in the future.

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Ben Millstein welcomed the new members.
Corey Gronn said in reference to TMO's, he would like this committee to consider talking to ITN
to help take over TMO's on behalf of the borough and represent them. They have the expertise,
they are the ones who search for grant funding, they are, let's face it, ITN is doing the trail work
for the borough. He doesn't see why when a TMO is finished through ITN maybe it can come
back to this board for approval instead of doing TMO's in this committee. He doesn't know if it's
possible, he doesn't know what the jurisdiction is, he doesn't know if it is something they desire
but ITN has the pulse on all the trails period. They know what the needs are.
Patrick Saltonstall said he thinks the borough has to do the TMO's but he thinks the Trails
Summit is something that ITN could do, it would take a lot of the work off the borough. It would
help ITN and it would help the borough.
Corey Gronn stated ITN could come to give Mckenna-Foster a stack of TMO's and say he's got
these TMO's and a cover memo with some of the items they recommend the borough considers
for projects as they are moving forward. Gronn welcomed the new members. He also looks
forward to working on our Comp Plan.
Patrick Saltonstall said he's glad we did the TMO's.
