Park and Recreation Board
The Ellettsville Parks and Recreation Board met on
Monday, June 4, 2001 at the Ellettsville Town Hall. Members present were
Darlyne Sowder, President; Art Moynihan, Vice President; Patrick Stoffers, Secretary;
L.D. Axsom, and Edwin Macatangay.
MINUTES
Art Moynihan made a motion to approve the May 7,
2001 meeting minutes. Patrick Stoffers
seconded the motion. Motion passed.
ELLETTSVILLE FAMILY SKATE PARK
The Parks Board discussed skate park volunteer
liability, revisions to previously adopted skate park rules, and reviewed a
letter from Mike Spencer to Leasa Farkas.
Cathy Cerajeski informed the Parks Board that they
have volunteers to cover the skate park 6 out of seven days of the week. She
said there is a visual inspection to be done of the facility and equipment
prior to use by the volunteer on duty, background checks are currently being
done on volunteers, and she will provide information on the checklist to the
Parks Board. Cathy mentioned that either Rita or Brenda of Lowes could discuss
safety issues associated with the ramps to be installed. There was further
discussion.
The title to the property is being held up due to an
error in the description. Apparently the state owns a strip of land along the
road. Darlyne Sowder said she would talk to Mike Spencer about the ramps and
mentioned a pay phone can be installed in the general vicinity of the skate
park.
Edwin Macatangay made a motion to adopt the skate
park rules and regulations, the waiver release agreement, and the skate park
resolution. Art Moynihan seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Patrick Stoffers made a motion for the Parks Board
to request the Town Council to adopt the Marci Lewis Memorial Park as a town
park contingent on a lease being secured with Richland Township. Art Moynihan
seconded the motion. Motion passed.
TAPED
MEETINGS
Darlyne Sowder inquired of the board whether the
meetings should be tape-recorded. Patrick Stoffers said there
is no requirement in the Indiana Code to tape any meetings. For purposes of
minutes, only actual votes constitute official action and the motion and
outcome must be kept as part of the record. Patrick Stoffers made a motion to
not have Parks Board meetings taped. Edwin Macatangay seconded the motion.
Motion passed.
SHELTER
HOUSES
Jim Ragle discussed with the
board the condition of the shelter houses and the necessity of initiating
repairs. Jim believed a chimney needed
to be removed as well as repairs to walls and posts. Darlyne Sowder suggested the board contact Maurice Endwright for
any knowledge he might possess on the whereabouts of any members of the
Campbell family to advise them on the necessity of the repairs as well as run an
ad in the newspaper. Jim Ragle said they would reinstall the memorial stone in
the wall once repairs were completed.
ADJOURNMENT
Patrick Stoffers made a motion to adjourn. Art
Moynihan seconded the motion. Motion passed.
