NEW BUSINESS

Accounts Payable but she wasn't there this afternoon. The report was
accepted.
MONTHLY REPORT--PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Mr. Garrett gave the February and March report of the Parks and
Recreation Department and Building and Grounds Maintenance. He stated
the big item in February was preparing the site for the Police
Department trailer for the detectives. He stated there had been
thirty four meetings and activities in the Community Center during
February. He explained the work performed around City Hall consisted
of painting some of the curbs and changing some of the parking
around. He added some people were complaining of there being no
place to park therefore they changed the shuffleboard parking signs
to parking for cars only from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. after that it
is trailers.
Mr. Garrett stated they had been getting the ballfield ready and they
had the coaches clinic sponsered by the National Youth Sports
Association. He added thirty five people went to the clinic which
helps with our liability insurance.
Miscellaneous items included a new generator for the Police Department
and it also runs a few lights in City Hall, the telephone lights etc.
Mr. Garrett said the thing of interest in the March report would
be Umbrella Tree Park. He stated they had the basketball courts
poured and ordered sod for the park. He added they had hoped the
sod would be there Monday but with all the rain it could be several
days before the sod could be cut.

Mr. Garrett stated they had been busy trying to get organized out
at the ballfield. He explained the Edgewater Althelic Association
that use to do quite a bit of the work, is no longer in existence,
therefore the City is doing all that work now. He added they have
two more teams this year which is about twenty eight more children
than last year. The program is growing, we have two hundred nineteen
players so far this year.
Mr. Garrett stated the playground equipment should arrived soon.
The trucking company is suppose to give them twenty four hours
notice.
Mr. Ridgdill asked about the new employee they were going to hire.
It was stated the new employee is Chuck Morgan and he is now working.
The Board agreed that Mr. Morgan would be a big help with Mr. Garrett
and Mr. Corder. Mr. Garrett stated Mr. Morgan comes in to work
about 1:00 p.m. and leaves around 9:00 p.m..
Mr. Montgomery asked if the monies for the ballfield were coming
out of the general fund? Mr. Garrett replied they would be running
in the red this year on that but next year they will put a line
item in the budget for that purpose. He added they still have the
entry fees and the sponser fees so they should come out pretty good.
The Board discussed the new ball they have for T-Ball. Everyone
appears to be pleased with this new type of ball.
MISCELLANEOUS
EXTENSION OF TURGOT AVENUE
Mr. Montgomery stated they are going to expand the school to put
in a learning disability center in the main building. He added they
wanted to do something with the main road down there. They want
to move the road. Mr. Montgomery was concerned they might take
part of the ballfield if they were to move the road at the school.
Mr. Garrett commented they are not sure right now exactly what they
are going to do, right now they do not plan on touching any of the
fields. He added the portables may be right up against the fence.
Mr. Montgomery said the portables against the fence would be okay but
he didn't want to see them take one of the fields and cut a road
through it. He said to make it feasible you would have to go down
between the fields and we don't want a road there. Mr. Garrett said
they might go on down instead of making the sharp turn at the cemet~ry,
just go on straight and run it between the railroad track and the
T-Ball field.
