Eddie reported that the Skate Plaza bid opened and awarded by the City
Council and he was taking the contracts over Wednesday to get signed.
the low bidder was Eastgate Contracting for $54,000 which included the
removal of the trees.
He said the Recreation Center work began last week, digging holes, that
the metal building will be there around March 20th and the plumbers will
start work on Wednesday.
He reported on the proposed building for Youth Football at Barnwell saying
that they will try and get one built but will need volunteers and donations for
this. Same design as all building, shell with bathrooms. He said Rich
Mueller will do the drawing.
The Tennis Center construction is going well, he said he has picked out the
flooring and paint and it should be finished by the middle of March. He said
he has gotten many positive comments from everyone. Discussion was held
on posting a sign to show the times the high school would be using the
facility so no one would plan play and then not be able to use it. Eddie said
he would take care of it.
He showed everyone the letter he had gotten from Mobile Bay Monthly
naming Fairhope Volanta Park as park of the year.
He mentioned that he was at Volanta Park on Saturday with his grandchild
and that it was full, playing going on everywhere, that one of his friends
mentioned how great it was and what a great facility it is. All agreed.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned at 5:45 PM.
