Philip H Scott’s Zoom Meeting 2026-07-14 19:00(GMT-4:00)
Key Outcomes
The committee voted on two budget motions: limiting beach attendant coverage to July 1–August 31 (saving $2,500/year) and increasing the swim lesson fund to $600. The triathlon (July 18) is tracking well with 57 registered kids, food donations secured, and logistics finalized. Challenger Soccer Camp scholarships ($1,060) were approved, and handicapped beach access improvements were flagged as a priority tied to the 2027 shoreline protection project.
Decisions Made
Beach attendant coverage restricted to July 1–August 31 for future budgets; removes Memorial Day through June coverage.
Swim lesson fund increased from $300 to $600 by reallocating funds from the beach attendant budget.
Challenger Soccer Camp scholarships approved at $1,060 for ~4 kids; Challenger invoice to be forwarded directly to Kim Julo.
Triathlon raffle prizes approved; Tom Martin to purchase small items (budget cap ~$100) and submit for reimbursement.
Triathlon registration opens at 9:15 a.m., event starts at 10:00 a.m. to allow extra time and beat potential 11–12 p.m. rain.
