Old
Business
Budget
Sandy Hash, Clerk-Treasurer of Ellettsville was
present to clear up some questions concerning the amount in the account for the
Parks Board. Questions concerning the meaning and amount of encumbered funds
and what happens to monies not spent during the year were on the agenda.
Other
facts presented relating to funds have to do with the State and the Town
Council. The State of
1. Appropriation, transfer funds from one budget
to another.
2. Legal Notice, post a proposal and receive
public input.
3. Town Council, a written resolution and Town
Council approval.
In the Appropriation area there are a few
choices; appropriate funds from within the overall Parks Board budget from one
area to another. These areas are;
100
– personal services
200
– supplies
300
– services
400
– capital improvements
Legal notice might involve a legal advertisement
in the local paper and an approval of intent to spend by the taxpayers. If the
Parks Board knew it wanted to spend some monies in the future that would not
normally be in the budget the Parks Board should plan ahead and place the funds
and proposal in the budget for the next year.
Enforcement of Ordinances for the
Gear must be worn and if not worn participants
are subject to fines. Not following the rules posted at the park could also
result in a fine. The question really is who enforces the codes. The police
department informed Darlyne Sowder that a form would be needed to write a
ticket, the ticket being the method to enforce the ordinances. There is no
current information as to exactly what these forms are or where they can be
obtained at this time or even why specific forms are actually needed.
Bicycles were another topic concerning the skate park. People involved
with the planning of the
Signs
and advertising for the skate park. Signs around the fence of the skate park
were given for a fee in the past. No checks for rent have been received for
this year as of yet. Darlyne suggested sending a letter and a bill to the
owners of the signs. The cost of the signs is to be set at $220.00 per year.
Denise motioned to send a bill to the merchants owning the signs. L.D. seconded
the motion. The money received from the sign space rental will be set in a fund
and used for skate park maintenance and or other future improvements. The
merchants will have 60 days to pay from receiving the bill.
Wishing
Darlyne will discuss with Jim Ragle about
placing a sign for the parking area near the park located off of
Memorial Park
The scouts had begun working on the park
beautification. Money in the amount of $500.00 was received from the VFW of the
community with another $200.00 promised
through a township fund. The town street department will provide a truck
to haul away the debris left over from the cleanup.
The meeting was moved to adjourn by Edwin
Macatangay and seconded by Denise Knell. All members voted to adjourn, meeting
