Ed Brenner, Pearl River, asked for clarification regarding the demographics?
Martin Saltzman, Orangeburg, said there is a need to offer a variety and seniors should decide what they can afford. He supports ARC.

Fran Oldenburger, Blauvelt, would also like to be notified when the new Youth Recreation Assessment Advisory Committee meets.
