Under old business the new park was talked about. Larry Thomas said he
apologized for the FSTC and the corn caper. It was all a misunderstanding, that
shouldn't have happened but all seem to think it will work out. He said that the
Street family said we could use their equipment to work that 20 acres when they
have cut and cleared the corn. Richard said that he understands that it will be mid -
July when the land is ready for us to use. Larry said he thought they were told July
1. In any event, Eddie, J. Baker and D. Boone have talked to them and are ready
to go when they can. Larry said the FSTC has voted to give a 10 ft utilities
easement and Mike said that the school board has been asked to give 10 ft. Larry
said further that he has moved at their meeting that the FSTC annex all the land out
there to the City before leasing.
Richard reported that Eddie said there was 3-4 weeks left on the gym in getting it
finished. Mike said we should plan to hold a ceremony when it is finished. No new
problems were known.
A scheduling problem at Stimpson was talked about but Eddie is supposed to be
working it out.
Eddie had also left word that the summer programs are going real well. That the
coaches clinics are doing well also, supporting themselves.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
