Bedminster Recreation Program Fees Set

With the fall season in full swing, and winter not far away, Bedminster Township is moving forward with plans for its recreational programs, after having approved several resolutions to set costs for the coming months.

According to township administrator Judy Sullivan, the township presents many seasonal programs to residents, who can sign up online to register and pay the fees.

“The programs don’t cost the town any money,” she said. “The users pay for the costs.”

Those proposed fees, Sullivan said, are to be approved by the township committee each year, which adopted its most recent resolution for fall programs Oct. 1.

“The proposed fees and seasonal employees needed to run the programs must be approved by resolution,” she said.

First, the township committee approved a resolution to hire Donna Lykes as a program instructor for the Reading Buddies program, offered through township recreation for 13 sessions from Oct. 2 through Nov. 20.

Lykes’ salary will be set at $1,125 for the 13 sessions.

In addition, the township set costs for its fall and early winter programming, which includes plans for adult basketball, a cross county running team, adult volleyball, Kangaroo Kidz, various levels of boys and girls basketball and Reading Buddies.

There are also a few special day trips planned throughout the season.

Costs vary for residents and non-residents, and are as follows:

• Adult basketball—$45 for residents and $55 for non-residents
• Cross County Running Team—$40 per person
• Adult Volleyball—$25 for residents and $35 for non-residents
• Kangaroo Kidz—$120 per person
• Kindergarten and 1^st Grade Girls/Boys Beginner Basketball—$60 per person
• Second through Fourth Grade Girls/Boys Instructional Basketball—$60 per person
• Fourth through Eighth Grade Girls/Boys Basketball—$170 per person for recreation level with uniform; $125 per person for recreational level without uniform; $195 per person for travel level with uniform; and $150 per person for travel level without uniform
• Reading Buddies—$50 per person.
