Discussion:
Waterfront Manager Position – Candidate for position Dan Gardner joined the meeting tonight. He had previously met with Glen Katz and Steve Koenigsberg via zoom. Dan currently resides in South Korea (originally from Lake Hopatcong area) and is moving back to NJ before end of March. He has been teaching and coaching swim at a University in South Korea for the last 10 years. Before that he has been involved with Waterfront Management at beaches in Lake Hopatcong, Mt. Arlington, and Succusanna.  After interviewing him with the full committee – Dan exited the zoom call and the committee after discussion voted to recommend his hiring to the full board at the next meeting.
Beach Sand – we have received three quotes for our annual delivery of sand for our beaches. Quotes from Silva/Sahara, Braen, and Atak. Silva/Sahara was the lowest bid at $23.65/ton delivered and motion will be submitted to board – they are the same supplier as previous years.
Drum Pool Shed – Charlie received the samples of the Vinyl siding colors and will meet Ami and Steve at the Drum Pool on Friday to pick the color.
Lifeguards / Recertification – the person that had previously run the recertification of Lifeguards for WML is no longer available.  She referred the board to a new company that specializes in this area.  Lifeguard.com is a local company and works primarily out of the Drew University Pool.  They will be supplying a bid to do the recertification program run here in WML and committee will review for next month’s meeting.  We are also researching if they can offer full lifeguard classes locally.
Beach Concessions – committee will be contacting the Beach 1 vendor this month to negotiate for the new season. We are also looking into potentially adding food truck options at other locations in the community (beach 2 & 3 / Drum Pool / Afield) during the season.
