(Atlantic) The Atlantic Parks and Recreation Board Monday night approved the location of the Splash Pad and the appointment of members to the Splash Pad Executive Committee.
The Board agreed the location of the Splash Pad should be southeast of the swimming pool. Dave Sturm with Snyder & Associates provided the board with a brief update on the plans.
Next, the Board approved appointing Erin McFadden, Jolene Smith and Jeff Christensen to the Splash Pad Executive Committee. However, the Board tabled the appointment of Jeremy Butler as Splash Pad Fundraising Committee Chair with Authority to form the Committee and Recruit Volunteers. Butler asked that this item be tabled until their next meeting.
It was mentioned that SHIFT ATL offered to be a flow-through organization for the tax-deductible donations, but the Board wants to make sure they are doing everything the right way.
City Clerk Barb Barrick said she would do some checking with the Department of Management and the League of Cities.
In other news, Mayor Grace Garrett reported that four applicants will be interviewed on December 8th for the Parks and Recreation Director position.
