OLD BUSINESS
1. Advertising sings at Bicentennial Park. Terry Mitchell
reported that he had presented the sign proposal to City
Council. City Council approved the proposal allowing a total
of 80 signs on both lighted fields. The contracts were
divided among the board members for renewals.
A motion was made and passed to hang Stacy's Furniture
Warehouse sign for the 1990 season at no charge, due to the
disappearance of their sign last year.
2. Baseball lights on Field 2. Mike Barnes reported that there
was incorrect information passed on earlier to him by TU
Electric concerning the cost of lighting Field 2. The new
figure will probably total approximately $13,000. The Board
elected to purchase the 22 metal halide fixtures at $300 a
piece. Dennis Electric will do the electrical work. There
was discussion concerning the remaining $7,000 budgeted by the
City for the lights.
A motion was made and passed to spend the remaining $7,000 on
fencing for Field 3.
3. E Systems Property Practice Fields. Randy Robertson
reported that Don Henderson was ready to grade the land for 6
practice fields.
A motion was made and passed for Don Henderson to initiate and
coordinate work on the practice fields to be completed as soon
as possible.
4. Corp of Engineers Park Land. No news.
5. Park Master Plan. A motion was made and passed to draft a
letter to City Council responding to Pamela Muller's letter
requesting the Park and Recreation Board write a Park Master
Plan. The letter would include a recommendation for the City
to hire a company to draft a Master Plan.
