Under old business, the new concession stand was discussed and Eddie said because
of playoffs they had not been able to get anything going but he had talked to Jerry,
Steve Sloan, Mike Booth and they will all help. Maybe get something going the first
part of next week.
Eddie reported that Phil Savage will be hold a free Football Camp June 24, 25, 26 in
the afternoon at Volanta.
He had a catalog of park equipment and the board discussed different things they
wished to put at the Founders Park at least a bench and picnic table between every
field. It was finally decided that Eddie and Rae would work together on deciding what
equipment to be purchased and this was put in the form of a motion by Trisha
McMahon, seconded by Charlie Langham and unanimously carried. The sign we are
wanting to erect was talked about and Eddie was told to get with Dean Mosher who is
designing one for the Single Tax and see what they could work out. It was suggested
that we wish to see proofs before anything approved.
Jim Godfrey was welcomed as a new member and it was noted he is already actively
involved in recreation programs now.
Eddie also reported the vandalism at the high school baseball field, someone throwing
salt on the infield. This is not the first time this has happened. He reported the pool is
open and we have not had the funds to do anything with it so the paint is flaking but it is
clean and we have someone checking the water 4 times a day, 7 days a week if anyone
gets calls. That we have 4 holes in the pool but we are working on having someone
come in and repair them.
The condition of the fencing at the stadium, tennis courts and pool was talked about
and that we need to look into fixing them as best we can when we can get some money.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
