a. Reminder – During this portion of the agenda residents and Youth Organizations may call in to make a special announcement or contact the township at admin@lmt.org to request a special announcement be added to the agenda. b. A member of the Lower Makefield Township Parks & Recreation Board is hosting a free shredding event at the Township building, 1100 Edgewood Road Yardley, PA 19067 on Saturday, July 24th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. c. Patterson Farm Master Plan—The Ad Hoc Property Committee is creating a long-term Master Plan for Patterson Farm and asks for community involvement. This Twp-owned property is at a crossroads with historic buildings requiring expensive repairs, or they may be lost. Potentially millions of dollars could be needed, but such expenditures cannot be made only to have buildings saved and sit idle. The Committee is working with a team of architects, engineers, and land-use economists to determine the best and compatible uses for the buildings that could benefit to our community and thus, support maintenance for future generations. The public is asked to become engaged by: (a) attending public Zoom meetings held the 2nd Thurs each month, (b) learning more at LMT.org/Community/Patterson Farm, and (c) attending the Public Forum on June 26th (7P-9P) at the Community Center to preview preliminary plans and provide input. d.
