The bills were approved as presented on motion by Don Smith, seconded
by Stanley Fant and unanimously carried.
Under old business, Phil reported that he and Mr. Patrick had gone out
and looked at the football stadium in an effort to determine a way to solve
the problem with the band entering/exiting the field. They had decided that
the portable bleachers around the end would not work. What they talked aboul
was possibly building a walkway at the south end over the existing walkway
into the bleachers. Phil said this cost should be no greater than $500.00.
The board saw no problem with this proposal, asked that Mr. Patrick be
asked to submit an official request regarding same.
Mr. Feathers letter was discussed and the tennis courts resurfacing.
Phil said he had talked to Jeff Combs and told him to go ahead with
resurfacing at a price of $2900 for 2 courts. That was several months
ago and nothing has been done yet.
Stanley asked Phil about possibly moving the red dirt from under the oak
tree at Volanta to the far edge of the field, Phil said as long as he has
been here they have asked for it to be there, but he would move it.
Phil reported he had hired Robert Northern hopefully as a permanent
employee.
Phil also reported on the progress of the golf course to date.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
