The minutes of the August 15 meeting were considered and approved on
motion by Larry Thomas, seconded by Richard Bass and unanimously
passed.
The bills were considered. The bill on the new paint machine was questioned
as something that was not discussed with the Board before purchase was
made and it was the concensus of the Board that Phil Rutherford was to be
in charge of issuing purchase orders for new equipment and that any
purchase of major equipment would be discussed by all Board members
before actual purchase is made. A motion was made by Larry Thomas
to pay the bills, Richard Bass seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Under old business the speakers at the football stadium were brought up
and that Grady Jackson had talked to Aaron and that they were going to
try and get them fixed, but at the last football game all who were there
said they were working fine so it is assumed that they were worked on.
Richard Bass asked Phil about who would be the correct person to contact
in regards to filing a claim with the City over the accident that occurred
at the pool. Phil said to have them see him or Evelyn Phillips.
Under new business Phil brought up that they had to purchase an extra
set of tires for the tractor as when asked about getting some they said
it would take at least 6 weeks as they normally do not stock them and we
did not have 6 weeks for the tractor to be down.
Larry Thomas reported that he had initiated discussion on getting the FSTC
to drop the yearly rent that we are now having to pay. He said he did not
have an answer from them one way or another but they promised to consider
it.
Phil reported that Robert was digging up the 13-14 year old field to put
in sprinkler system. A discussion was held on where possibly to put new
soccer field. The area at the north of the pool was discussed. This led
to board saying they wished to have copy of list that was drawn up with
items that needed to be worked on as well as wish list. (secretary furnished
this to everyone)
The possibility of electing a chairman was discussed with all agreeing to
let this lay over after Larry Thomas made a motion that a chairman be
