Harrison gym.

Staff presented ten banner designs — three smaller overview examples and seven detailed close-ups — that incorporate the Town of Selma logo, Parks and Recreation branding and QR codes for registration (Rec Desk), the department website and Facebook. Staff said QR codes will link to the department’s registration desk, main website and Facebook page; one board member confirmed the URLs are printed on the banner designs.

Board members discussed placement, glare reduction and durability. Staff said the banners will cover one set of windows that currently cause a blinding glare at certain times of day; the other window set will remain uncovered to preserve natural light. Banners will remain in place “for as long as they look good,” a staff member said; sponsor banners below will be rotated annually.

A motion to recommend council approve the design and purchase of the banners for the Richard B. Harrison gym was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.

Staff will prepare the purchase request and submit it to council for approval.","The Special Recreation Advisory Board recommended council approval to purchase and install promotional banners in the Richard B.

Staff described edits to income verification and funding language. The board removed a fixed median-income figure and instead set eligibility as equal to or less than the federal poverty guidelines for the applicable year for a family of four. “That’s something we don't have to revisit each year,” one board member said in reference to tying eligibility to the federal guideline.

Because the policy will require council approval and timing would miss spring sports registration, staff wrote an initial funding period of January through July; that period will fund programs for the 2025–26 fiscal year.

The board reviewed two allocation methods. Option 1 divides funds proportionally by total program cost; Option 2 would weight allocations by registration and cost and requires more data. The board chose Option 1 citing simplicity and future expandability if new sports are added. The presenter noted both options were reviewed by the finance director.

A motion was made to recommend the policy to council with revised annual-allocation wording and to move forward with Option 1; the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff and board members acknowledged the policy may need adjustments after initial implementation, and staff will report results after the first funding cycle.","The Town of Selma Special Recreation Advisory Board voted Jan. 24 to recommend an athlete scholarship policy to the town council, selecting a proportional allocation option and setting initial funding for January–July to cover the 2025–26 fiscal year.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6670583,"Advisory board recommends park ordinance amendments to town council",94,529000,623000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172295-60749730a1332075c87ffc6f37465819&start=529&end=623","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172295-60749730a1332075c87ffc6f37465819/thumbnail_529000.jpg","/articles/6670583/Selma/Johnston-County/North-Carolina/Advisory-board-recommends-park-ordinance-amendments-to-town-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6670583-f5935e02a080a253de87713c58e26656/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168821&Signature=L5kkV~rvk05GEizyuakChbVcRn6vL1wRNKFdMi5dn85s36OGiGQrGanlY~~H5It02hd6Kvl6nSf~eRtnv4NBWtv1ivaw5wwRGPPA38BCOQj13gMZ0aQLM1699aN7gOvtovEGXkp3ru8OVxNLoY6PfIDr7aiPfKhEp-j6l16HnLKCg7lp8S5g0~44IqoPTnkWxgQkvVwrYOLwOgQQ31HLljT93L6qpwM097~e2rR955DjdxGr6eGuoK6wKXwsSwyyKeuj8Dp4MNE7NTgoS2xy4jfYvjvQaY9sRZSpkg6gKiTcfN3uZViJJ76UaIKJSrBgJL6vWH4hMcFTg0Vc24RIbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Selma Special Recreation Advisory Board reviewed proposed edits to the town park ordinance on Jan. 24 and voted to forward the amendments to the town council for consideration.

One board member moved to forward the proposed amendments to council; another member seconded. The board voted in favor and the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff noted the amendments will still need review by town counsel and the planning department before council action.

Staff said the survey is intended as a recent needs-assessment required as part of the Part F grant work. The draft contains nine questions; the presenter noted a physical copy will be formatted separately from the online version.

Board members suggested several edits to the response scale and question wording. One board member recommended an odd-numbered response scale to provide a neutral midpoint; staff replied that they would look into adding an additional scale option while cautioning that a nonapplicable (N/A) choice could reduce usable responses.

Members also asked that tennis and pickleball be separated in the sport listings because respondents feel strongly about those sports. The board discussed making the survey an annual item to track trends.

Board members and staff agreed to publish the online survey with a Spanish translation, to add QR-code access, and to distribute notices via email, Facebook and other channels. “I love my QR codes, and I have everything on a QR code, and I do everything in Spanish. I got you all,” a board member said during the discussion.
