APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Moved by Mr. Jones and seconded by Mr. Bidau1t to approve the January 13,
1983 minutes. The motion CARRIED 3-0.
Mr. Wyatt explained that the discussion on forming a corporation would be
tabled because Council had not approved the Board's request that the
athletic program be assumed by the Parks and Recreation Department. He
said that he was planning to write a letter to Council, as Chairman of
the Board, expressing how he felt about it. The matter had been tabled
by Council by a vote of 5-0. He hoped to get it on the Agenda for Council's
Special meeting.
Dividing the Parks and Recreation Department into two separate divisions,
a Parks and Recreation Division and a Building and Maintenance Division,
under Mr. Avery's direction, was recommended. Monies coming in for parks
and recreation would go into a separate fund designated for that purpose.
Mr. Bidau1t motioned to send a letter to Council recommending that there
be a separate Parks and Recreation Division and a Building and Maintenance
Division under the Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Jones seconded the
motion which CARRIED 3-0.
Mr. Wyatt said he wanted to write a letter to the Governor inviting him to
the dedication of the Jimmy Hogan Ballfield, but a date has not been set.
Mr. Bidau1t motioned to send a letter to the Governor inviting him to attend
the dedication ceremonies at the Jimmy Hogan Park. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Jones and CARRIED 3-0.
Discussion of the shuffleboard court was delayed, as Council had indicated
at their meeting last night that they would take care of it.
Mr. Jones asked about the map discussed at the last meeting, which Mr.
Spencer agreed to get showing the city owned property and locations of
city recreational areas. Mr. Wyatt said the City Clerk will get that
information to the Board.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:29 p.m.
