Spring parks board keeps leadership, greenlights staffing and readies summer playground program
Summary
The Township of Spring Parks and Recreation Board retained its current officers, confirmed new part-time and full-time positions approved by the Board of Supervisors, and heard that the department is accepting applications and preparing its summer playground brochure for printing by the end of March.
Chairperson Richard Bashore called the Township of Spring Parks and Recreation Board to order at 7:00 p.m. on Feb. 20, 2025, and the board voted to retain its current officers: Bashore as chair, William Herbine as vice chair and Keith Stamm as secretary/treasurer. The re-organization motion, moved by William Aukamp and seconded by William Herbine, carried 6–0.
Director Judy Houck reviewed the department's written report for January 2025 and told the board the department is now accepting applications for the Summer Playground Program. Houck said staff have promoted the program at local high schools and colleges and that the department is finalizing the summer brochure, which will be submitted to the printer by the end of March.
Houck also reported that, as part of a two-year departmental plan, the Board of Supervisors has approved three staffing additions: a full-time administrative assistant, a part-time adult-program position and a part-time special-events position. The board did not take additional formal action on those hires at the meeting; Houck presented them as approved items in the departmental plan.
The board approved prior meeting minutes as part of routine business: the Nov. 21, 2024 minutes (motion by William Herbine, seconded by Michael Kocher; motion carried 6–0) and the Jan. 22, 2025 minutes (motion by Keith Stamm, seconded by William Herbine; motion carried 5–1, with Michael Kocher recorded as abstaining).
The meeting packet listed upcoming department programs and events and the board scheduled its next meeting for March 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
