Woolwich Committee approves 10% payment to organizer for upcoming pickleball tournament
Summary
The committee approved a contract arrangement to pay event organizer Doug Horton 10% of net sponsorship proceeds for a Sep. 21-22 pickleball tournament after debating an alternate flat-fee cap; the motion passed with three yes votes and two abstentions.
During new business on Sept. 3, the Woolwich Township Committee discussed terms for an upcoming pickleball tournament scheduled for Sept. 21-22 and approved a payment arrangement for the event organizer.
Committeeman Frederick announced the tournament and asked the committee to extend Doug Horton's contract, not to exceed $1,000, to support the event. Mayor Matthias said she preferred a percentage-based payment and asked that proposed contract terms be presented in writing as a formal resolution for the committee's consideration. Matthias recommended paying Horton 10% of the net proceeds of the sponsorships he secures and moved to set up a contract on that basis; Committeewoman Minhas seconded the motion.
The roll call was recorded as Frederick: ABSTAIN; McGovern: YES; Minhas: YES; Nocentino: ABSTAIN; Matthias: YES, resulting in three yes votes and two abstentions. The motion to set up the contract paying Horton 10% of net proceeds carried.
The minutes also record that some members subsequently abstained on related bill approvals tied to the Horton item. The committee asked that the contract terms be put in writing and presented as a formal resolution for future ratification.
Next steps: staff to prepare written contract terms and a formal resolution for committee action.
