The minutes of the July 20, 2005 meeting were duly considered and
approved on motion by Jim Godfrey, 2nd by Derrick Thomas and
unanimously carried.
Charlie turned the meeting over to Eddie Boyett who reported that he had
gotten his new truck and he also reported that the road had been put in
beside the gym going one way to Volanta but there has not been much
traffic as school has started back up. He said the Jazzercise people are
using it. He thought it would help with football traffic though. He said right
now the signs are up one way but the rain has prevented them from painting
signs.
He reported that the portable restrooms had been lined up. That we will
have them for two months, September and October and we provide a
custodian but they will clean twice a week. He said they are 800 gallon
units. Several questioned whether this capacity is big enough. We are
facing probably 25 games at the field during this time.
Eddie was asked about the piles of dirt at Volanta and said they are waiting
for it to dry but it will be flattened out before the Daphne game.
He said the soccer, football and tennis is all going strong. That
cheerleading will be using the gym. Moving the tennis courts was talked
about and he said there are some grants available, money out there but we
need to find 20 acres to move Stimpson Field to.
John Baker talked about the new building and said that his people have
been unable to break loose, further discussion was held and he said in his
opinion the lift station needs to be moved out to the parking area. Eddie said
that the utilities would have to be located before moved and should be
designed in accordance with code. Eddie said this would be at least a
$30,000 cost to do it right. It was talked about changing the design and
maybe save some money there. John Baker said he would send a letter to
the mayor about moving the sewer. John was asked when he might have
the plans and he answered October meeting.
Eddie reported that the roll up doors at the pool needed fixing but they are
suppose to be there this week and the hole at Founders Park had been
fixed.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
There was no September 2005 meeting.
