Supervisor Parker: Just a couple of things. I passed out a handout earlier that I just received on today and also you have before you a copy of the National Association of Towns and Townships Conference information. Good reading and good information as related to the conference as well. That’s all I have at this juncture.

Trustee Martin: I just have one thing. This is directed to you Township Manager. If the Director of the Community Center was here, I would have addressed it to him. I would like to know the Parks & Recreation report a very comprehensive but however, I would like to know, would it be possible to reflect how many people use the exercise room and in addition to that can we get an update on the equipment and also how many rentals for the month if any. I think that we need to have a report on that also. Now one of the reasons why I’m throwing that out, because I am hearing a lot of things in the community and folks is talking about the equipment breaking down and not being fixed and repaired. Nobody knows what’s happening and also, I think that the use of the exercising room is one of the largest events over there at the Community Center and a lot of people use that and we need to know how many.

Mr. Williams: I have just one: Take a Love One for a Check up Day is next Tuesday, September 19, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. It will be held at the Community Center. There will be screening for blood pressure, vision, diabetes, HIV, Lead Testing and many more. We have 30 vendors and this will be the largest vendor turn out and it will be in partnership with HOT 107.1 FM.

ADJOURNMENT: Motioned by Martin second by Carter to adjourn the meeting at 8:45 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
