7:30 - 8:00 Al Krapf, Judy Krapf and Phil Herman
attended the meeting to request permission to utilize a park or designated area
of our Township to participate in the growing sport of Geocaching.
Geocaching is an adventure game using a GPS unit,
which is an electronic device that can determine an approximate location on the
planet. The idea is that individuals and organizations set up caches all over
the world in parks and various outdoor areas and share the locations on the
Internet. The cache container would include a logbook along with anything from
information on local history to maps, tools, games, etc. These items turn the
cache into a treasure hunt. The rules of the game are outlined on the Internet.
The RAB plans to review these ideas with the other RAB members at next month’s
meeting and make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors at that time. The
current consensus is that it sounded like a great idea and would be a fun
activity to have in our Township.
Recreation programs scheduled for Fall 2004 went to print and should be received by residents shortly.
The Community Center will now be
included as a voting location for the upcoming Election Day.
Steve Crump suggested forming sub
– committees for some of our long range planning projects due to only meeting
once a month. The majority of work could be done throughout the month and
presented at the monthly meeting. This would facilitate the progress of long
term planning. Betty indicated that Jim Sterner would first have to approve
this.
Karen Kennedy contacted Tony Casciano of Boyce Associates, which is a local distributor
of Little Tikes Playground Equipment to discuss obtaining new equipment needed
for Delta Manor,
Pool: Jim Sterner has requested a
representative from each Township Board to attend a meeting (date yet to be
determined) to discuss the major repairs needed on the pool. The pool needs to
be drained in order to determine all of the work that needs to be done. He also
wants to discuss the feasibility of an indoor pool.
A request for a Port –o-Potty at
the Community Center Park needs to be included as part of our long term plan.
Jim Sterner expressed reservations due to possible vandalism as well as
aesthetics.
The recreational improvements
discussed at July’s meeting, which involve spending money, need to be
prioritized and discussed at budget time.
Delta Manor: It was determined
that the low hanging wire was an RCN cable wire has been fixed and is now at a
safe height.
The Shade Tree Commission will
remove the dead trees at Macada North.

table remain at
