This matters because the committee is weighing the effectiveness of postcards, bulk mailing (EDDM) and digital tools while deciding how best to reach residents and whether to maintain the village app.

Dr. Mena (staff member) said multiple households may have missed the postcards and that staff are considering whether a bulk mailing with specific addresses would reach more households, though that would be more expensive. She reported the postcards include a QR code linking to the recreation commission page on the village website and that staff will distribute extras at community events such as parades.

Dr. Mena proposed a resident survey and a small focus group to inform a website and app redesign. She said she will draft community-engagement questions and that staff may trial a quick survey at Juneteenth to collect resident preferences about communications, AV recordings, and how residents access meeting information. Committee members supported using events to collect survey responses and to revisit an earlier survey conducted under a previous staff member (Brian).

No formal decision to change the village’s communications strategy was made; staff were directed to draft the survey and bring results back to the committee.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Golf Manor Community Engagement Committee Meeting - June 9, 2025 @ 6 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Officials reported postcards were mailed the week of May 19, some households did not receive them, and staff proposed surveying residents and using events to collect feedback as part of deciding whether to maintain the village app and redesign the website.","taxTitle","Golf Manor Village, Hamilton County, Ohio","taxId",74500,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208005,"Golf Manor organizers plan Juneteenth vendor event, Fourth of July and fall concert; Recreation Commission approves some funding",669,1031000,1700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3750172-851ce28effc7ad2777ef55666d54004f&start=1031&end=1700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3750172-851ce28effc7ad2777ef55666d54004f/thumbnail_1031000.jpg","/articles/6208005/Ohio/Golf-Manor-organizers-plan-Juneteenth-vendor-event-Fourth-of-July-and-fall-concert-Recreation-Commission-approves-some-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208005-34b15933a328a56a73807739e6009f9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1776087109&Signature=jGa8UbW9gQYGnJXiEfJ79iNAgUUQ9fQEK6E3TCL-JLVabKleOzEg4U5HCND2oERRIjEt34psd9A~GsBhUeHojLWf6V9CrH6jYMO99kEXLBprNLXQby3RpKkcvtm3MKgutDgIP5YJh7pls76~7I9CXcImcyObc-6NA0gKXBsqt-I2gew9TUIAa6SJ4iGMXQD-CRxUUP50rpMrxxWNXqEGD5Ba6jLR9hrFxuHXE8Q-Anh~2dsUc4l9hYX9seugOueS~mYVx-rykGYXBmDI0NkvzKHR~6JlpC4ZQki~Sm4i9Noh~hcxZOdZzZWhk03c4reBdJIGMTCc3zxdSGY43x2~LA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair (name not specified) and Recreation Commission members provided updates on multiple upcoming community events, including a Juneteenth vendor event, the Fourth of July parade and picnic, a Pride walk, and a September fall concert.

These events are relevant because they are primary community engagement activities for residents and are linked to fundraising, vendor coordination and safety/outreach planning.

For Juneteenth, staff reported that Recreation (Rec) approved requested funding to support the vendor event; banners are installed at village gateways and at least 26 vendors have registered, with 23 payments received and about $933 collected through Square (net of fees, the figure was described as “just under $900”). The village is selling Juneteenth T-shirts at $22 for adults and $18 for youth; staff said they have sold about 12–13 shirts so far. The community impact team from the police department will participate in the Juneteenth event.

Event logistics discussed include food vendors (hot dog vendor, possible Goodfellas pizza pending confirmation, and a new food truck offering fried fish and hamburgers) and a plan to include inflatables, water rides and children’s activities during a later community festival. Staff said they hope the day concludes with fireworks. Recreation previously approved spending up to $300 to purchase remaining items from an Amazon wishlist for field-day supplies; staff reported items cost between $7.68 and $49.99 and at least four families had already purchased six wishlist items.

Other events: Pride walk is scheduled to meet at Fountain Square at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 28, with T-shirts for sale ($22 adult, $18 youth); the Fourth of July parade and picnic remains planned for Sunday, June 29; and a fall concert with a band is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 7 at Volunteer Park. Recreation and staff will continue to finalize vendor confirmations, fundraising, and whether Rec or other village funds will cover band costs.

No formal council action to authorize additional spending beyond previously approved Recreation Commission amounts was recorded at the meeting.","Committee members reviewed upcoming community events — Juneteenth vendor fair, Fourth of July parade and picnic, Pride walk, and a September fall concert — and confirmed Recreation Commission actions on fundraising, vendor registration and a request to spend up to $300 on field-day wishlist items.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208010,"Golf Manor awarded county mini-grant for little free pantries; budget must be revised to meet $1,000 maximum",230,780000,1010000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3750172-851ce28effc7ad2777ef55666d54004f&start=780&end=1010","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3750172-851ce28effc7ad2777ef55666d54004f/thumbnail_780000.jpg","/articles/6208010/Ohio/Golf-Manor-awarded-county-mini-grant-for-little-free-pantries-budget-must-be-revised-to-meet-1000-maximum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208010-247c4b686e1bcb27561267a4d99c5679/orig.mp4?Expires=1776087109&Signature=KbnxYtUBqhCc4r0X8zgRak~48v~qv66NmThGZz-gaZUp~VPOhiTRhPCDTLoCKoksNlEfKLUkPvEVkB6Iw-bp1nDLKSJZN~BU4hLoqnKZsu6pStb843iTLHDFdKJsl7pyey9JQypLI43nZjfXVTA6uB6opZ~kedksUeRwEr8J98p-Qc5rk7xXhDHvSjKZ9Iag4gRhtOyMwJkOMzL2HoO-4MhaJvIuqTzJUa~4XNRl40ASOOtNCP8YXZIxGQ-y-X7trxwdXnKk09BdClWnGLnX1FXEEtOO2suw9~eKVFvUtTVaujiwf9dCvb7TEYYBxgCcKWd7uzwlhzcFp5Cuc5lJKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee heard that Hamilton County Public Health has notified Golf Manor that its mini-grant application for little free pantries showed a “strong” application but exceeded the program’s maximum award; the county asked the village to revise its budget and resubmit.

This matters because the village must confirm how many pantries it can build within the grant’s $1,000 maximum, identify who will provide labor and materials, and confirm it can spend the funds by Aug. 1 to secure the award.

Gwen (We Thrive program representative) reported the village applied for $4,000 but that the grant program’s maximum award is $1,000. The county asked the village to clarify how many pantries could be built with the lower award, confirm a revised budget, and resubmit by June 13. Gwen said the county also asked for confirmation that the funds could be spent by Aug. 1.

Gwen said volunteers or carpenters might provide labor and estimated material costs; she referenced two different cost figures during discussion and said she will double-check amounts. “I think the supplies for one is only around $5,600 for all materials,” Gwen said at one point, and later added she needed to “double check the numbers.” The committee acknowledged that if materials per unit are lower — for example $600 — the grant would cover fewer or more units accordingly; staff committed to clarifying the correct per-unit cost before resubmitting.

Gwen thanked Britney Kramer and Eric for their help writing and reviewing the proposal and noted the application deadline and resubmission window are tight.

Direction given: staff will revise the budget showing how many pantries can be built for a $1,000 award, confirm labor plans (volunteers or contractors), and resubmit to Hamilton County Public Health by June 13. No formal council vote on acceptance was recorded during the meeting.","The village received notice that Hamilton County Public Health is awarding funds for little free pantries but requires a revised budget because the village requested $4,000 and the grant maximum is $1,000; staff must confirm how many pantries can be built and whether the funds can be spent by Aug. 1.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":46,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208015,"Golf Manor committee pauses app maintenance after unexpected annual fee",398,1147000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3750172-851ce28effc7ad2777ef55666d54004f&start=1147&end=1545","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3750172-851ce28effc7ad2777ef55666d54004f/thumbnail_1147000.jpg","/articles/6208015/Ohio/Golf-Manor-committee-pauses-app-maintenance-after-unexpected-annual-fee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208015-9754eb54da14fe88e503054b2097de78/orig.mp4?Expires=1776087109&Signature=IIt0C7mlM12cKSzfKNP6c7rIUEdxaG17xs-3nNZsZxmbEhuqLNZaAhnvgN5wAOxjI9wtCRwz-Ga0Kzse~5Lm179DzFRh~bQaW5PE76F2HLNPQoYBoWsqdfdIl9yOUBBoWON-JYKyVmTCUQmPt-XoLXnlVxLeqgO6vXF0-QnwV0JP2jV1tWQyZeuEWwKfI1qHvOHNYIl4m6cL8SYnnG4RO~OXsGCyk~mKfY~I5GyUqJjdRIBdppJT-xFcejKhWJggwDk7RiN3Xf6y4XPcjPu6TaapYhYR1gTtXy7hTo0OHee4havZDkmoFOMfDqYXRjBLHz~TBwKh~H-2hZOV7gQzJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Meeting chair (name not specified) said the village has been billed $6,500 for annual maintenance of its mobile app and presented background on earlier payments and contract terms.

The app discussion matters because the village must decide whether to continue paying the annual maintenance fee or suspend payments while it redesigns the website; the app is integrated with the site and affects how residents receive push notifications and updates.

Committee members heard that the village paid $8,000 for app development and prepaid about $12,000 for two years of maintenance, for a total close to $20,665 in the original contract. Chair (name not specified) summarized the contract figures and said the signed agreement shows a recurring $6,500 annual maintenance fee.

Dr. Mena (staff member) described the app’s technical architecture as a “wrapper” app — essentially a website wrapped in a native app shell — and said that update of the website should, in theory, update the app content automatically. “Technically, we did not spend $20,000 on the app. We spent $8,000 on the app,” Dr. Mena said when describing the payments and how the maintenance prepayment was structured.

Staff reported current download counts of 101 iOS users and 55 Android users (156 total since the contract was signed). The committee did not have data on active usage or how often users open the app.

Committee members discussed options: continue paying the $6,500 maintenance fee to keep the current app active; ask the current developer to waive or defer the fee (the developer has not agreed); or redevelop the village website to be responsive and pursue a progressive web app or wrapper-plus-PWA approach that may reduce long-term maintenance costs. Dr. Mena said she favors a wrapper-plus-progressive web app approach but noted the website must be made responsive for the app to display well on mobile devices.

The committee directed staff to gather more information and to form a small working group to survey residents about how they prefer to receive information before committing to long-term spending. No formal vote to spend or cancel services was made during the meeting.","Village officials discussed a $6,500 annual maintenance invoice for the village app, reviewed what the village originally paid and the app’s technical model, and agreed to pause payments while exploring alternatives including a progressive web app and a website redesign.","actionData","errors"]
