The Director presented the department reports and answered questions. On
Major Projects Barry was optimist that the resurfacing of the swimming pool
bids -would come in around $24,000-25,000 which would leave sufficient funds to
install a playground on ParKview Drive. The information sign was installed at
Independence ParK stating the hours of operation and other rules to be
followed within the parK.
The Beautification Award was approved by the Board, after a motion was made by
Tooti-e Mccomb, second by Larry Juul to award Jim Dandy's convenience store
dur in.g the March Board meeting.
The Board asK Barry to looK into relocating pine trees into the parK and a
motion was made by Larry Juul, seconded by Tootie Mccomb to have h im recommend
at the March meeting his recommendations for location of the Gazebo donated to
the RarKs Department by Green Tee Homeowners Association. In the Boards
op ini-on the Cemetary was not considered to be an appropriate location.
Other reports were discussed by Barry. The Board recommended that the ParKs
Board meetings be included in the Activity Report.
Durin-g the open discussion Mr. Wolff said he was honored to be the Mayor's
appoi-ntee as Liaison between the Council and the ParK's Board. He discussed the
ceme-ary worK, review the plans and suggested that to protect the cemetery
there- would need to be a water outlet and some drainage worK. Barry said that
these• items were being considered. Mr. Wolff felt that the lighting at
Independence ParK seemed minimal and asK Barry to looK into some poles that
have -been donated that could be used to add additional lighting in the parK.
He felt that the poles might be satisfactory for Mcclean ParK and that better
lighting would act as a deterrent to vandalism in the parKs. Barry said he
would looK into this matter. Since the parKs must be able to meet the varied
interest of the city Mr. Wolff felt that there are many amateur radio
operators in that community that could possible be helped and in turn they
would be helping the city. He would liKe Barry to looK into the possibilities
of installing three poles in the parK that would be 45 feet tall and affixed
to the tops antenna wires. Since there are restrictions within the city for
large antennas this would benefit both the city and the amateur radio
operators, especially during times of hurricanes , tornadoes....etc in which
radio operators can give communications assistance. There would not be any
maintenance and he felt that the costs could be absorbed by donations. Larry
Juul made a motion that Mr Wolff and Barry determine the amount of local
interest, the cost and location recommended to the April Board meeting. The
motion was second by Claude Stegall and approved by the Board.
Chairman George Treibel read a letter of thanKs to Barry LastiK from the ABWA
