needs to be put on the borough webpage. We want to give a flavor of what we want and what we have.
Cassidy said he will send the RFP out right after Christmas.
A brief discussion.
NEW BUSINESS
A) 2009-2013 Strategic Plan-Parks & Recreation Committee Goals and Objectives Discussion
Cassidy stated the borough manager requested staff look at the portions we are involved with so
he wants P&R to look to see if there are any additions to make. Cassidy said the Recreational
Amenities will be brought forward after the goals and objectives. Once it is approved by the
assembly it will give good guidance to the P&Z.
SALTONSTALL expressed concern regarding #2; it looks like it's just a trails network and the
trails plan is identifying important recreational areas.
Committee discussion.
SALTONSTALL expressed concern about getting the priority areas identified in the Trails Plan.
The committee directed staff to find the list of priority areas identified.
It was the consensus to ask for clarification on lb and in terms of lands in #1-would the
assembly expand it to more than just lands under borough ownership, just identify potential
lands for trade or purchase.
B) Board Vacancies
Discussion of attendance, quorums, vacancies, codes, and committee options.
Staff was directed to contact Lori Demi to see if she is still interested in being on the committee,
and to check the attendance record.
