Narberth to pursue MOU and grants for skate park; RFP and steering committee next steps

Staff reported they have sent a checklist of items to Lower Marion Township to be incorporated into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a proposed skate park. Once the township reviews and drafts the MOU it will return to the borough for committee review; staff said the goal is to adopt the MOU this year and begin procurement for design/consultant services.

"We have sent our kind of checklist of items to Lower Marion Township to draft into memorandum of understanding," staff said. The plan calls for issuing an RFP, convening a small steering committee, conducting public outreach and seeking grants in the spring. Staff also said they’ve worked with Pennoni (transcript spelled 'Pannoni') on preliminary engineering to pursue MS4‑compatible stormwater approaches as part of the skate‑park design.
