Business-
Tom Kuhl updated the group on Founder's Park-he said that 3 of the 10 truckloads
of sod has been delivered and laid. Tom also updated the group on Founders Park-
the weather has delayed the project, as well as other issues that have come up at the
Rec Center such as needing to bid out the children's pool, which requires time away
from the Founders project. Tom noted that he has not received all the invoices for
Founder's at this time, but said he has already spent $30,000.
Sherry Sullivan updated the group on the O-Zone Baseball Tournament, as Michelle
Smith was interested in knowing total attendees. Sherry stated that 1,000 spectators
attended the first two days of games and 500 spectators attended the third day of
games. Sherry is currently waiting on lodging & sales tax numbers from last month,
as they are not available yet. Once the numbers are available, Sherry will do a
comparison between July 2011 and July 2012.
Tom Kuhl stated that he meet with the budget committee regarding the recreation
center.
Bob Keyser stated that the Booster Club will have the NC fixed in the concession
stand by August 24. Bob added that Tom Kuhl may want to check the ice maker and
cooler to confirm they work before the first scrimmage (Fairhope vs. Davidson)
game on August 24. He also shared with the group that the new concession stand
manager will be Jennifer Nolte. Bob asked Tom Kuhl ifhe needed anything, he
replayed he could always use paint and that about a pallet gets him through a season.
