Summary
At its Aug. 20 meeting the Longswamp Township Parks and Recreation Commission discussed fall and spring events, recorded motions to buy volunteer favors and Bingo cards with small budget caps, noted Board of Supervisors approval of bylaws and moved the May 2025 meeting date.
The Longswamp Township Parks and Recreation Commission met Aug. 20, 2024, to review upcoming events and routine business. Attendance was recorded as Tyrene, Leann, Allison, Kaitey, Kristina and Mike (B.O.S.). The agenda covered event planning, small purchases for activities, and preliminary budget discussion for 2025.
The commission discussed the Volunteer Appreciation Picnic scheduled for Sept. 21, 2024, and set a budget cap of $75 for party favors. A motion to purchase the favors was recorded (mover: Kristina; second: Leann). The minutes record the motion but do not include a roll-call vote or a recorded outcome in the text of this meeting.
Members also discussed the Great Pumpkin Hunt scheduled for Oct. 5, 2024. The commission agreed to purchase Bingo cards for event activities with a budget not to exceed $30, and a motion to that effect was recorded (mover: Kristina; second: Leann). The minutes list the motion but do not provide a vote tally or explicit result in the segment provided.
Two other seasonal events— the Christmas Tree Lighting on Dec. 7, 2024, and the Egg Hunt on Apr. 4, 2025—were placed on the calendar without substantive updates at this meeting. Planning for Swamp Fest, scheduled June 14, 2025, included discussion of potential vendors and activities but no finalized vendor commitments were recorded.
Under old business, the minutes state that the commission's bylaws were approved by the Board of Supervisors. The commission also noted the recent Longswamp Electronic Recycling Day and described it as successful. The supervisor's report included a note that the Lions Club may lease space at Hunsicker's Grove; no final decision was recorded.
In new business, the commission agreed to move the May 2025 Parks and Recreation meeting to May 21, 2025 and began discussing the 2025 budget proposal; the minutes do not include further budget detail or allocations.
The minutes open with a header indicating the minutes were "APPROVED 09/17/24" and show an earlier motion on approval of the July 16, 2024 minutes (mover: Kaitey; second: Kristina). The document provided for this meeting does not include roll-call vote tallies for the motions listed.
Next steps noted in the minutes include continued planning for fall events and follow-up on 2025 budget work. No public comments were recorded for this session.
