Board Member Mills stated he would prefer to match up to $87,500 at this time, because he would rather
not move money from one account to another. $87,500 would cover the budgeted amount, and not the
$2,500 contingency fund. He also expressed a desire for a different way to review matching fund
requests other than a first come first served basis.
Motion was made to approve the request for the Southlake Girls Softball Association for matching grant
funding in the amount of $90,000 for the purpose of purchase and construction of playground equipment
and shade structures at Bob Jones Park.
Motion: White
