New Business
- Christmas Theme and location: Dec 6 from 5 – 7 PM.
Grinch theme and hold at Fire Hall again. Kids make little ginger bread houses. Everyone wear green. Hanna said she will be the Grinch and wear the costume.
- Marianas’s Sub & Pizza Sale: Orders due Dec 1st to be delivered on Dec 8th.
- Christmas decoration of street poles: Don Wynn wanted to know if more candy canes needed to be purchased, because several were not useable again. Melissa said they tossed quite a few after taking them down last year, but there are still a lot of new ones that can be pulled out & used.
- Zoom Meeting presented by Darren Trainer: Regarding Parks use of Elavon program and S&T Bank Merchant Card for donations only. Sue Bartow asked if funds would flow through the Borough. Darren said “No, funds will only be deposited into whatever account is dictated and that will be the Bolivar Parks & Recreation Account only”. No fee for usage to Parks, but a 3% fee charged to person donating. No sales tax to be reported, but will need Boroughs Tax ID # to set-up. Concern expressed that people would not use if fee charged, but decided in today’s world this is the common practice. All attending thought this would be a good program. Information to be brought to the next Borough Council meeting, Nov 6th, for decision to be made.
Nothing else to discuss.
Mellissa motions to close 2nd by Brittany H at 8:18 PM.
Respectfully,
Georgianna Wheeler
Secretary / Treasurer
