Barney presented for study a layout of the proposed restroom
facilities and remarked that the way he has them laid out they
would straddle the fence. His proposal showed 4 units in the
ladies. Further discussion led to an inclusion of a lavoratory
in the plans. Don Smith moved to go out on bids on this, Roy
Lloyd seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Barney presented a sketch layout of the proposed recreation
facility at Greeno Rd. He told how ea. could be done separately
and told the cost of ea. The separate facilities were basketball
courts, hanball/racqetball, exercise room, storage cubicles
restroom facilities, new enclosed pool area, and two new tennis
courts(unlighted) with enclosed area for an office and practice
area. Barney is to get pictures of similar construction and
present at next meeting. Total cost at this time coming to
$360,000.00 . No action was taken at this time.
Al brought up whether or not the Rec. Bd. could secure the use
of the Riviera space on the corner of Young St. and Nichols that
it is not being used now and we certainly could use it for park-
ing at Stimpson. A request to be made. He further requested
signs be made for all the parks no glass containers permitted.
The Board agreed this should be.
Al brought up to the Board that he had someone to replace the
tin roofs at Stimpson if the Board agreed to buy the materials.
A motion was made to purchase materials not to exceed $900.00
Roy Lloyd so moved, Don Smith seconded and motion carried unan.
Eddie brought to the board for discussion a program for the
summer with Barry Pennington being hired for $400.00 for June/
July to run for just play to include school age children from
9-1. The Board had discussed this earlier and thought it was
a good idea. Rae brought up the possibility of doing the same
thing with an arts/craft program and maybe use the school facilities
Eddie to look into using the school, Rae to come up with program
and someone to run it.
Barney said he would like to see implemented a program that ran
throughout the year with the schools where the public could go
use the facilities. That this would be laying the groundwork
for our new facility. All thought it would be good to plan
something like this.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
