The Recreation Board of the City of Fairhope met January 21 , 1987
at 7:30 p.m. at the Fairhope Civic Center Complex
Present: Don Smith, Rae Jackson, Al Johnson,
Roy Lloyd, Betty Rivenbark, Secretary
and Phil Rutherford, Facilities Director
The board recognized John Bartels and Phyllis Bruce who were present
representing the Swim Association and who asked that the 3 meter diving
board be removed at the pool. They thought that due to the accidents
that had occurred in the last couple of years that it would be better
to remove it. Phil was asked what all was involved in taking this down.
He said that if we took the board and steps down and leave the
stand we could put it up later if they change their mind. Don Smith
moved based on the recommendation of the swim association that we
remove the board as requested. No one seconded his motion, therefore
it did not pass and the board will remain.
Roy moved that the bills be paid as presented, Rae Jackson seconded
and motion carried unanimously.
The minutes were approved as written.
Phil reported the new practice goals that were put up at Organic for
the smaller kids to practice on.
The Board reviewed a bid form for running the concessions at Stimpson
Field that Phil had worked up and approved unanimously on motion by Roy
Lloyd, seconded by Rae Jackson to use this form and advertise for some-
one to begin in March.
A letter from Dian Arnold was presented to the Board regarding putting
riding trails at the golf course. Al Johnson moved to table this request
until further notice, Roy Lloyd seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Roy presented a request from the High School to move the batting cage
at the field at Volanta. Discussion brought a motion by Don Smith to
oppose this request for any changes at the baseball field, Rae Jackson
seconded and motion carried unanimously.
The new unlighted field was talked about and when we could get started.
Phil said that he didn't know as they were all real busy right now. All
said we needed to do something within the next two weeks or it would
be too late. Don asked if he should call and talk to the Mayor as we
had already committed ourselves to the people involved. Phil said he
would talk to him Friday and let Don know something.
Phil reported that the Golf Course was on schedule, maybe even ahead
of schedule. That we could shortly talk about the clubhouse and fees
to charge. The Board talked about the need to run a perk test. Phil
said Moore Engineering could do it and all agreed it needed to be done.
There being no further business we come before the Board the meeting
was duly adjourned.
