JOHNSON SKATEPARK & BIKE TRACK COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES JOHNSON MUNICIPAL BUILDING / REMOTE ATTENDANCE BY ZOOM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2025 Present: Committee Members: Casey Romero, Howard Romero, Alexis Daniels, Greg Fatigate Absent: George Swanson Note: All votes taken are unanimous unless otherwise noted. 1. Call to Order Casey called the meeting to order at 5:31. 2. Minutes of September 3, 2025 Howard moved to approve the minutes of September 3, 2025, Alexis seconded and the motion was passed. 3. Directors’ Orders Casey said directors’ orders totaled about $500. They included some equipment and a grant-funded purchase of mulch. 4. FEMA: Concrete Project Update Casey said she learned from the email she shared from Tom Galinat that the town has talked to FEMA about requesting an extension. We are waiting for an answer. 5. Grant Work: Manny Pad & Security Camera Casey said she found out that a Ring camera system won’t work because we don’t have wifi at the skatepark. She has been looking at game cameras. These days they come in two types. One type has its own limited memory. A good one will only record 12 hours and then it erases itself. That would not work without a person to monitor it. An employee at Tractor Supply recommended the other type, which requires that we subscribe and pay for storage. The subscription could cost $50-100 a year. We have not been able to find anyone to build the manny pad frame. Geoff Hall is supplying the Skatelite. Maybe if he has time he would be able to come and build the whole manny pad. If it is okay with the committee, she will ask him. Committee members agreed to that. 6. Laraway Report Casey said George would email a report to be included with the minutes. The report was: Students will be gleaning pumpkins this week at the school along with making apple cider. There have been field trips apple picking. There will be a fall festival on the 31 st at the school. Students have been busy renovating the greenhouse getting ready for next Spring! 7. Site Maintenance Work, Water Line & Recent Issues Casey said she and Howard have been exchanging information with Tom Galinat and they now have a plan for the water line work. We are still missing one central piece of equipment Tom was going to get. 8. Other Business Greg asked if we have we explored looking for additional committee members. Casey said she hasn’t done anything about that. Alexis said she has tried. The committee agreed to advertise for members on Front Porch Forum and the town website. Casey said she would circulate the notice to mothers of kids that were in the Let’s Roll program. 9. Adjourn Greg moved to adjourn at 5:45, Alexis seconded and the motion was passed.
