Under old business the board brought up the new field at Volanta.
Phil reported that everything is up but the backstop. Al asked if
it would be available to use before June 23rd. They did not think so.
He then asked about using one field at Stimpson for the 13-14 yr old
league. He said he had talked to Vaughn and that he said he could use
on Friday night. Al asked Phil if there was any way to fix the problem
with Field 3. Phil said he had tried several things and still had a
problem there. Further discussion led to suggestion that Phil look
into it and see what we can do to fix it, report back next meeting.
Al was told he could use field 3 that they would fix mound and 75'
bases.

the money, the system planned to set up(books, receipts, cash register
to handle sales)how deposits would be made to city hall, how frequent.

what would be amount charged for these. Don Smith said he would
by the next meeting have a realistic figure on what we would have to
