1. Call to order
Ms. Hyatt called the meeting to order at 9:15 a.m.
2. Approval of Minutes from the June 6, 2022 meeting
Mr. Santos made a motion to approve the minutes of the June 6,
2022 meeting. Mr. Rambo seconded the motion. All were in favor.
3. Public Comments
Mr. Howard Chapman said he wanted to encourage the
Committee to include the Senior Center North on the referendum as it
was needed. He said it was a project that was in the five-year fiscal
plan.
4. Discussion and possible action on a Recreation Capital
Project Referendum
Mr. Rambo said he had asked Mr. Gergick about two projects that
were brought up at Council. He said they were a second Senior Center
and expansion of the Tennis Complex.
Mr. Gergick reviewed the Recreation Referendum Considerations
on the Tennis Mugsy Kerr Tennis Complex and the Thomasena
Stokes-Marshall Senior Services Center. He shared the program’s
utilization and the operational revenue and expenses for each.
Committee and staff discussed additional salaries and staff for the
six-court expansion at the Tennis Center. They also discussed
concern about a second Senior Center in the north end of town and

how much revenue would be taken away from the current center and
concern for staffing requirements.
Mr. Santos asked if they could have pickleball with the Mugsy Kerr
Tennis Center new addition.
Mr. Gergick said with the expansion of United States Tennis
Association (USTA) courts, pickleball could not be on the courts where
they have league play. He said that would need to be separate. He
said they would build dedicated pickleball courts at Rifle Range Road.
Mr. Santos said it was an established facility and would be nice to
have pickleball as well.
Ms. Hyatt said she felt the Tennis Center would be a better
investment for the Town at this time.
Mr. Rambo made a motion to make the recommendation to
Council, on second reading, to add the Tennis Center expansion as a
listed item to the referendum. Mr. Santos seconded the motion. All
were in favor.
Mr. DeMoura asked if they were correspondingly expanding the
debt number. He said they were adding projects that were exceeding
the $50 million debt. He said at the staff level they could run the
financial models for a number greater than $50 million to present to
Council.
Mr. Rambo said he still viewed it as under $50 million.
Mr. DeMoura said this could be decided at Council. He said that
either a number applies to open space and green space and that
number will determine the grand total if an item remains. He said they
will present different scenarios at the meeting.
5. Executive Session - Review and selection of applicants for
Town of Mount Pleasant Recreation Advisory Commission
Mr. Rambo made a motion to go into executive session. Mr.
Santos seconded the motion.
6. Post Executive Session

Ms. Hyatt reconvened the meeting at 9:51 a.m. She said that no
votes or action was taken.
Mr. Santos made a motion to move the date back to July 22 so
they could receive a few more applications and then could choose
members for the Commission. Mr. Rambo seconded the motion. All
were in favor.
7. Program/projects update
Mr. Gergick gave a program and projects update. He said the
Farmers Market would be held that afternoon. He said the Sweetgrass
Festival would be on July 23 at Waterfront Park.
Mr. Gergick said they have a conceptual plan for a 9/11 Memorial.
He said that Councilman Santos secured a 13-inch x 13-inch piece of
the World Trade Center that they are going to display at Waterfront
Park. He said they estimate approximately $45,000 for the project and
