Richard read a request he had received from Fairhope Physical Therapy
Services for use of a softball field. After discussion it was still unclear
whether they wished to have a mens or ladies tournament. Richard said
he will call and get more details before giving them a definite answer.
We also had a request from Al Prine to have a fall baseball program with 9-10
year olds, 20+ kids using,•th6 minor league field during October -November on
a Sunday afternoon. Bob said his basic concern would be insurance. Richard
said they would need to sign some kind of release. The insurance issue
was discussed and whether or not they would be charging the children.
It was thought if they charge them they should not worry about uniforms
but get insurance. They are not sanctioned and not a part of the league.
Richard said he would call him back and get them to put together a proposal
and bring it to him. It was agreed that the use of fields would not mean
marking off just keeping them cut.
The proposal from Baldwin County Fence Co. on the batting cage was discussec
A cost of $2458 for one cage was quoted. Different batting cages in the area
were discussed and it was the consensus that we were interested in two cages
with concrete pad. Phil is to go back and get a price for this. Stanley Fant
moved to table this until next regular meeting. Larry Thomas seconded and
motion carried unanimously.
A Sports Day for Fairhope Middle School October 23 was discussed. Vann Saltz
had submitted a request for fields on that day with a scrimmage game being
the last event in the stadium. Betty is to get with him on which field to
use and coordinate with Robert events.
Charlie said he would like to commend the soccer association for their
wonderful opening day. He said what he experienced was wonderful.
Richard mentioned that we need to think about budget and possibly discuss
at October meeting. Richard said he hope to have some information for members
at that time.
At this time the three interviews were held for Recreation Director position
and will be continued Saturday morning.
There being no further business meeting was duly adjourned.
