We have <br /> worked with the Cedar Grove Neighborhood Association and other groups over the <br /> last few years, but while we have had promising leads, no one has ever applied. <br /> The Board of Commissioners filled this slot early in 2021 with an applicant (not <br /> from Cedar Grove), but he resigned in May. <br /> After discussing the situation in some detail this month, the Council suggests <br /> appointing Mr. Mason, who is also not from Cedar Grove Township. At this time, <br /> based on past history, the Council is concerned that waiting on an applicant from <br /> Cedar Grove could continue to be a lengthy wait, and Mr. Mason has indicated <br /> interest in serving. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of this appointment. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Haywood Rhodes, Chair <br /> Chair, Parks and Recreation Council <br /> Copies: John Greeson, Vice-Chair <br /> Parks and Recreation Council <br /> David Stancil, DEAPR Director <br />
