at the City Administration Building, 161 N. 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. Larry
Thomas made the motion, Trisha McMahon seconded and motion carried
unanimously.
Eddie reported that he had found a truck and it was working good.
Eddie was told further to handle getting a good home for the old computer.
Eddie reported that Harry Melton had been out and looked at track area
and said he would get back with him after the last football game but he
has not gotten in touch with him yet - that the cost was going to be 3,000-
3,500 dollars. Trisha McMahon moved to have this expense come out of
the capital improvement account. Larry Thomas seconded the motion and
it carried unanimously.
A request had been made by the cancer society to hold an all night event
at the track in April - from dusk to dawn. No one on the board saw any
problem with this other than there would be soccer games going on at
this time. Trisha McMahon moved to grant approval subject to the
school's schedule allowing for this event without any problems, Larry Thomas
seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Mike broughtpGthat Eddie had taken 2 teams, 16 year olds and 12 and
under,to the tournament and they came in first and second respectively
and they had trophies and would be recognized by the council Monday
night. He congratulated Eddie on this and his good work.
Bob mentioned that they had taken in $1200 on the November 4th soccer
jamboree.
Charlie asked that everyone think about new peanut field and possible
discuss at next meeting.
Larry said that nothing new on land but it has not been forgotten.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
