Section Street at 6:30 PM Present: Chairman Richard Bass; members Larry Thomas, Charlie Langham, Bob Callahan, Stanley Fant, Trisha McMahon. Mike Ford and Betty Rivenbark, Secretary Jerry Anderson talked to the board about the signs at the baseball field. he said he wished the board would reconsider letting the high school sell signs as a means to raise money for the program. He said it would be for the high school season only. That they would be responsible for putting them up and taking them down. Bob Callahan said he was probably the most opposed to signs but the reason was that the first year promises made were not kept, that the second year they did everything they said they wold and Mr. Knight was so open about the finances of the school, we have a better understanding. Bob did say he did not think they should use the indoor cage to paint in. Jerry said hopefully they would not have to redo many, but sure they can paint in another place. Jerry assured them that the money went into the inside athletic account. Larry Thomas moved to approve this request of Jerry Anderson representing the baseball parents that the signs be allowed to be put up for one year and that they will pay the board 20%. Charlie Langham seconded and motion carried unanimously. The minutes were considered and approved with the amendment that a motion was made to purchase a computer for Eddie at the last meeting.
