The Board discussed the possibility of setting up a committee to watch Woodbourne Park, on weekends and holidays. The discussion included giving the watch committee a camera, a key to the park and show them how to fill out a police complaint. Mr. Armstrong feels getting the volunteers would be difficult, because some of the youths are very disrespectful.
The Recreation Commission received a request from the Colesville Fire Company for use of Woodbourne Park for their 60th anniversary in 2007. They will be inviting fire companies from other towns as well as Wantage citizens. They wish to serve beer and food. A plan has been set up to control the beer. Mr. Bono from the Fire Department has spoken with the Mayor and Committee, the Mayor and Committee support the idea. Mr. DeBoer suggested contacting the Recreation Commission. Mr. Armstrong made a motion to allow the use of Woodbourne Park with food and beer. The Fire Department is responsible for parking and crowd control. The approval is contingent on a more detailed plan.
Mrs. Vanden Heuvel seconded the motion. Ayes: Ms. Feoranzo, Mrs. Vanden Heuvel, Mr. Williams, Mr. Armstrong. Nays: None. Absent: Mr. Coscia.
