Old Business:         

 

1.        Playground installation – Two loads of top soil have been delivered to the park, another load will be delivered the end of the week.  Robert Garlin will contact the supplier of the playground cushioning to confirm the price.  Board members will meet on Saturday to confirm the playground measurements to calculate the amount of cushioning required and do other work at as needed.  The arrangements for spreading the cushioning need to be finalized by the March meeting so volunteers can be lined up.  If possible, we will submit an article to the Township newsletter asking for volunteers to help at the work day that is setup.

 

2.        Robert Garlin reported about the meeting on mushroom soil use at the park that was held at the Farm Show.  It can be used as fertilizer with no licensing required.  Arrangements can be made to receive the mushroom soil free of charge from the mushroom growers.
