Section Street Present: Al Johnson,Charlie Langham, Rae Jackson, Richard Bass Betty Rivenbark, Secretary and Mike Ford Council Representative Since the last meeting Barney Shull, Chairman of the Recreation Board and Council Member and friend to us all had died. Al made mention that he will be sorely missed not only for his expertise and interest in recreation programs and projects but his friendship as well. At this time Al asked if the Board wished to consider a new Chairman. Mike said he thought we ought to wait until we have a full Board to elect a Chairman. He went on to say that he would like the Board's opinion on asking Don Smith to come back. All thought it would be a great idea, that we really do need him. Further discussion led to the secretary being asked to write Don Smith a letter asking him to consider coming back even for short period of time. The board talked about the upcoming meeting with the City Council and it was discovered that there was a conflict with a Wednesday night meeting. and possibly could it be that all could meet Monday night after council meeting. Everyone said this was a good time, Betty to check with Mayor and Council and let everyone know. A list of things that need to be done and a wish list was considered for each facility and the following resulted: Volanta Street Resurface parking lots Pull down 6' fencing on high school field, 3rd base line all way down, put in 11 Remove wooden bleachers, replace Pour concrete slabs under bleachers Put concrete in dugouts Have paved walking area to ball fields More security lights 13-14 yr old field Extend water faucets into dugouts 13-14 yr old outfield grassed 2-3 part time workers March until 4 full time workers Press box minor league field repaired New press box major league field Extend fence 13-14 yr old field 4 ft More picnic tables and playground equipment Sprinkler system all parks Stimpson Field Replace tin roofs on dugouts St. James Tennis Courts Additional lighting Wish List Expand parking area Volanta Street facilities Bathroom facilities for tennis courts Repair- track at football stadium Outdoor volleyball/basketball facility(with lights) 4 new tennis courts Summer recreation program reinstated 5 gang mower New bleachers Full-time facilities director for recreation program These to be presented at meeting with Council.
