Barney recognized Cassandra York who presented a proposal to run
the Young Street Center. She was informed that we already had an
agreement with Lovie Gardner, to use the inside area and that we had
some problems, but she had first refusal. That Ronnie Langham had
already contacted us about getting something going also and that she
should get with him and coordinate these programs, maybe they could
work together. Ms. York thanked the Board and said she would contact
Ronnie.
Tony Caminetti was present representing the swim team association.
He mentioned a list of repairs that he had given Phil a copy of in
order to get the pool operational for next year. He said he would
like to open May I with life saving courses. The Board discussed
closing down the pool I day a week to schock it and all agreed there
was no other alternative. He also discussed the possibility of buying
some mats for swimmers to sunbathe on. The Board talked about putting
some 10 ft long tables there, he said if we do that we will only need about
four. He asked about the possibility of adding a sixth lane. He was advised
that was in long range goals but there was no way we could do it this year.
The Board talked about the possibility of paying Pep overtime in order to
maybe work out where we could leave the pool open. They said they
would consider paying a minimum(poss. I hour) if it would help. All said
to wait and see what could be worked out.
Ronnie Langham came in and he was told that Ms. York had been here
inquiring about the use of the center and that he should get in touch
with her. He said he would like to get started with some dances on
Friday nights. Roy told him he was going to try and get in touch
with Ms. Gardner to see what their situation was.
Vivian Smith was present to discuss with the Board the contract
that is in force with the Smith's and Jerry Anderson. She was -
shown a copy of an agreement that was initiated when Eddie Nelson
and Charlie first took over out there. It shows a steady increase
in rent each year. Presently she is paying $400.00 a year for
use of concession stand. She told of the conflicts she is having
when practices are scheduled by Eddie and then the people might not
show up or show up late and how they might have gone out and the
police are trying to reach them. They told her it would be all right
for her to schedule practices. She also asked about the cost of tournaments.
Whether or not we would charge the same price for 4 fields as we would for
2. Discussion led to agreement that we would charge $75.00 for 2-$150.00
for 4 and they had to reserve 2 weeks in advance and if cancelled that
money would be forfeited. Don Smlith moved to set a fee for the new
agreement between Vivian 8 Charlie Smith and Nancy and Jerry Anderson
amount to be same for this year $400.00, Roy Lloyd seconded. Don further
suggested writing up the rules and having it as a handout for the different
teams that wanted to use Stimpson. The new agreement to be ready by March,
signed and in the file.
Roy moved to pay the bills, Rae seconded motion carried unanimously.
Barney showed the Board a copy of agreement and said they would receive
same in the mail. He is working on new concept plan. Hopefully have a
meeting in 2 weeks to go over new concept and agreement.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
