Park Management Report CC:  Charlie Arnett reported an issue with the new type keys which could not be received until Jan. 20^th.  This caused a problem with the schedule in place to pick up keys on the 13^th.  To keep the time schedule, the older type keys will be bought and used.  The newer type key order will be kept open for next year’s use.

The A-Frame has been wired for electric and is ready to have floor laid.  Hopefully, the A-Frame will be ready for next month’s Board meeting.

A vote on porta-pot services was tabled until similar proposals could be displayed by Peloni’s and AAA Porta Serve.  Linda Hizer volunteered to get proposals from both companies by the next meeting.  Service proposals will be for twice a  week in May, June, July, and August for Point Park, Boat Ramp Park, and Mid-Point Park – once  every other week during September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April.  Service proposals will be for once a week at Bridge Park and Camping Park during May, June, July,  and August – once a month during September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April.)

Tom Tramel will plan to train gate-greeters either in April or May.  Joan Nano or Linda Hizer will give him a list of phone numbers and e-mails.
