Following discussion regarding creation of a CCC Geocaching Trail, which would highlight the efforts of individual members in a family friendly way, it was agreed that the CCC would pursue a CVVB grant to assist with costs of such an effort. The Geotrail would jointly support tourism to the County as well as providing a educational/recreational activity for County residents.
To that end, the following motion was proposed and seconded:
The CCC Coordinator is authorized to apply for a grant of $5000 from the CVVB to support creation of a conservation focused Geotrail.
-
Discussion on the May 3 Clean Cumberland Action Day:
Participation from members was not as high as expected. This was likely due to the short notice. However, a dumpster was filled and good work was done by those who did participate. It was agreed that there should be a fall and spring cleanup and that the dates should be decided and advertised now to increase planning time and participation. Grant match documentation as a result are attached.
For future planning, the following dates were agree upon:
Fall cleanup: September 20, 2014
Spring cleanup: May 16, 2015
-
Discussion on future funding: Question is – what can the CCC do to add value to local grants?
-
Monday, July 28, 2014 at the CVVB was reconfirmed for the next general meeting of the CCC.
-
The Board adjourned at 6 pm.
Respectfully submitted:
Jerry Wilkes
