Vice Chairman Gottschall noted Calvary Baptist Church (“CBC”) has requested to a hold a
community picnic and concert at Fischer’s Park on October 9 th with an anticipated attendance of
several hundred people. A similar request was made in 2010 by CBC to hold an event on July
4 th . Since it was a much larger event than is allowed by policy (i.e., no greater than 100 people),
the request was taken to the Board of Supervisors. The Board approved the event with the
conditions noted below:
a. CBC needs to provide several port-a-potties at the event due to the very limited
bathroom facilities at the site.
b. CBC will be limited to one section of the parking lot to allow for available
parking to other park visitors that day.
c. Per the attached resolution, rental fees cannot be waived. The fee schedule
requires $30 per 25 people per group.
Mr. Ford summarized the review of the Township Emergency Management Coordinator and
Police Department. He noted that the Church has agreed to all conditions as summarized in a
September 8, 2011 letter from the Fire Marshal and the Church.
Staff is recommending that the Board approved the application.
