Sorry about the quality of this video!  I forgot my tripod so the video is a little shaky.  Also the township  has low lighting at this new location which makes the video grainy, and a poor sound system.

The meeting starts with a presentation by the Superintendent of the Bridgeport Schools.  He talks about current news for the schools, and long range plans and projects.  Mr. Whelton passed out a talking points memo for his presentation and I have attached that to the end of this post.  His presentation is just a little over 30 minutes long and is worth listening to.   He goes into more detail than it shows in his talking points memo and you can hear his enthusiasm for our schools and students.

It sounds like there is a new rule that DDA boards are required to hold two informational meetings per year for the public.  These meetings will be for the public to come and comment on things they are concerned about, things they are happy about.  Sounds like the DDA board will provide updates on projects etc... to the public.  They are looking at setting the date for the first meeting for Tuesday, August 27th.  I believe it will likely be in the evening.  I will post any updates on this as they come out.

It is always worth your time to listen to the DDA Coordinator's report for updates and information, also to the board member comments.  One of the items discussed during board member comments was the canoe kayak launch at Hoffmann Community Park.  The location is still not open and may not be this year.
