MLK Jr. Day partnership with Willow Grove NAACP

Arbor Day Foundation software cost
The Commission's tree-giveaway software costs about $8,500 a year. Alternatives are cheaper but lack the Arbor Day name recognition and the boost in volunteer turnout and reduced no-shows the current platform delivers.

The council deferred a bigger budget discussion to the next meeting, floating ideas like a salt management program, supporting EV charging installations, and leveraging grant money with matching funds.

The township approved a concession contract for Crestmont and Penbryn pools with High Delights LLC to manage snack bar operations for the upcoming season.
