  • Action: Timmy said he will create this, and type up a guide for how to represent CMUA

 

      1. Need to send CRPC the agreement for review
  2. Possible future homes for CMUA programming, in case we leave CRPC
    1. Howard County Recreation and Parks
      1. Different setup than Baltimore County: no rec councils
      2. CMUA would not be in direct charge of league(s); rather, HCRP full-time staff would run ultimate league(s) that CMUA members would sign up for
