This is a community wide fund that you are able to donate to through your monthly utility bill. It is distributed through the Morristown Utility Systems Board of Commissioners on an economic or charitable need basis to be determined per request.
The advantage of this is goodwill in the local community. Another advantage is that your bill will be rounded up from the actual amount to an even amount at the next highest dollar amount (example: $67.49 will be on your bill as an even $68.00 with the $.0.51 going into the fund). Your monthly donation will never be more than $0.99 and never less than $00.01 per monthly billing cycle.
Operation Roundup began in January 2004 and through the first five years this funding has improved the recreational activities of the Morristown City Parks and Recreation. Lighting systems have been significantly upgraded at the Frank Lorino Tennis Courts, two softball fields at Frank Lorino Park and the Sherwood Park Baseball Field. Funding also supported the Splash Pad at Fred Miller Park. During 2008, Roundup will be used to upgrade the poor lighting system at the Burke-Toney Football Field, a venue housing numerous football and soccer games which affects many students and parents of the community.
MUS congratulates those who participate in Operation Roundup as shared investors in recreational projects that improve the quality of life for adults and students in the Lakeway community.
