G.Michael Brady-J Jeremy Rhine with Lowe's reached out to him stating that they. had $1,200.00 left over from another project and wanted to know if the Town had any "community projects" that needed to be completed. The only stipulation was that the projects needed to be finished by the end of the month. After visiting the Town Hall and going through old meeting minutes to determine what projects needed to be completed it was determined that the "Steps at the Concession Stand" needed to be replaced. Within a year, maintenance has disposed of at least 3 picnic tables from either the school grounds or the park, SO picnic tables needed to be replaced. After purchasing the lumber for these projects, it left enough money to purchase 15 new padded chairs for the Kitzmiller Community Center to replace the chairs that are broken and/or damaged. So, all together the steps to the concession stand were replaced. Two 10-foot picnic tables were built, and four 8-foot picnic tables were built.  Diane Nye-Paugh - Not Present.  These meeting minutes were prepared by the Kitzmiller Clerk/Treasurer, Rebecca M. Glotfelty on  10/25/2022.  Rebecca M.
