The Community Education and Recreation Collaborative (CERC) task force was officially approved by the Chelsea City Council at its Nov. 12 meeting.
The new task force replaces the Community Center Task Force and includes the appointment of additional community members as well as subcommittees to pursue specific projects. CERC will encourage communication and collaboration with key community stakeholder organizations including the Chelsea School District, the City of Chelsea and Parks and Recreation Commission, and Chelsea Area Friends for Recreation. (See full agenda description below.)
