Committee prefers banner over reserved parking for vendor sponsoring pickleball tournaments
Summary
Dodge Spirit offered $2,000 annually to sponsor township pickleball tournaments and requested a designated parking spot for on-site oil-change services; the committee preferred a banner advertisement instead and asked follow-up.
A local vendor’s request for a reserved parking space near the pickleball courts drew brief discussion at the June 2 Woolwich Township Committee meeting.
Committeeman Frederick described a request from Dodge Spirit to reserve a designated parking spot where residents could park and call a number posted on a sign for oil-change services during sponsored pickleball events. Frederick said the vendor offsets tournament costs and donates $2,000 annually; he also noted the vendor’s initial sponsorship request had been $500.
Mayor Matthias expressed concern about dedicating a parking space specifically for oil change services. Matthias recommended an alternative: placing a banner facing the parking lot to advertise the vendor’s services rather than reserving a space for mechanical work. Committeewoman Williams and Deputy Mayor Nocentino agreed that a banner would be preferable. Committeeman Frederick said he would follow up with the vendor about the banner option and next steps.
The minutes do not show any formal vote on the request; the committee’s reaction was advisory and directed Frederick to continue discussions with the business.
