Ron would like to donate a bench, but Mark sent a list of other items we would like but if a bench is all they are looking at, we can find a place. There are several trees that are dying and three are leaning over the riverbank. Jeff and Diane Sarbacker also would like a bench, but Ted had mentioned smaller picnic tables would be nice. Kent – three volunteer grant writers at the Senior Center, in three months secured over $7,400.00 in grant money and hoping to have $10,000 by fall.

Rick – opposed to this because August and September is the best night for raising funds for the park. Tabled until next month so park committee can discuss and make a recommendation. Adjourn: Motion to adjourn (KB/MG), all in favor, approved. Adjourned at 7:36PM Respectfully Submitted, Dawn Marie Sass, Clerk/Deputy Treasurer
