The Special Recreation Advisory Board meeting held on January 24, 2025, in Selma, Johnston County, focused primarily on the design and implementation of new promotional banners for the town's parks and recreation programs. The meeting began with a presentation of the proposed banners, which feature the town's logo, color schemes, and QR codes for easy access to online resources.

The discussion highlighted the functionality of the QR codes, which are designed to direct users to various platforms, including the recreation desk for program registration and the town's website and Facebook page. Board members expressed confidence in the visibility and accessibility of the QR codes, even when placed high on the banners, citing examples from other public settings where QR codes are effectively used.

Concerns were raised regarding the placement of the banners, particularly in relation to ambient light in the gymnasium. One member noted that the banners would be positioned to mitigate glare from sunlight streaming through windows, ensuring that natural light remains available in the space. The board confirmed that the banners would remain in place year-round, with sponsorship banners updated annually.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of maintaining the QR codes' functionality, emphasizing that as long as the linked websites remain active, the codes will continue to serve their purpose. The board plans to revisit the banner designs and their effectiveness in promoting community engagement in the future.
