The minutes of the June 18, 1980 meeting were duly approved.
The bills were considered and approved on motion by Trisha Nelson
(except for the two port-o-lets) seconded by Al Johnson.
Al Johnson moved to transfer $5,000.00 from the Operating Account
to the Improvement Account, Trisha Nelson seconded and motion
carried unanimously.
Al asked Phil if the outside area of the swimming pool was included
in the contract with Southern Shore Pools. Phil told him no and they
both remarked that it definitely needed some work.
Phil reported that they had put up the portable fence at Stimpson
but we haven't been billed yet.
Trisha asked if the committee from Young Street had come to the
warehouse to pick up the swing sets. Phil told her no, although
he talked to Woodie the day after the last meeting.
Phil reported that the Stimpson Project is through except for the
roll up doors that have not come in yet. Along this line the Board
decided to ask George to install a piece of expandable metal at the
top for ventilation instead of wood. Al moved, Trisha seconded
allowing Phil to negotiate with George on what to put in the hole
at the top of the doors.
Phil asked Al if he though he could get the Soccer Assoc. to
spread the topsoil around the concession stand. Al said he had
a meeting Thursday night and he was sure they would be glad to help.
Trisha also asked Phil to put a board on top of the pipe he plans
to put up to keep people from driving all the way in the middle of
the field. It was suggested writing a letter telling of the completion
of the field, and what we expected each association to do in the mainte-
nance of same. It was also discussed how best to thank all those who
had donated their time, equipment and manpower to get the project com-
pleted.
Trisha made the motion,after it had been discussed, to have the police
authorized to cut off the Stimpson Field lights at 11:15 p.m. except
where a game is running overtime. Al Johnson seconded and motion carried.
Along this line Phil told the Board that Roy Lloyd had mentioned to him
that as soon as they finish the tournaments at Volanta they wished to
have it fixed so the lights would not turn on. This was agreeable with
the Board.
The swimming program was talked about, and the Y program, and the com-
plaints that had been received. It was decided to send a letter to
Henry Postma and give him a chance to rectify some of this.
A discussion was held on the bleachers needed at Stimpson Field. Al
made a motion to purchase 5 seats high, 21 feet long at
a price just over $1,000.00. Motion died due to a lack of a second.
Trisha made a motion to go out on bids for 1 - 2 - or 4 units, bids
to be in before the next Recreation Board meeting. Rae Jackson seconded
and motion carried. Al Johnson abstained from voting.
Trisha announced to the Board that she was donsidering resigning from
the Board, please.be thinking about a replacement.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
