Ellettsville Parks and Recreation Board Special Meeting Minutes

December 16, 2004

The Ellettsville Parks and Recreation Board held a special meeting on Thursday, December 16, 2004, at the Ellettsville Town Hall. Members present were Darlyne Sowder, President; Edwin Macatangay, Vice-President; L.D. Axsom, and Denise Knell. Darlyne Sowder called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.

Since Jeff Frownfelter was not present to take the minutes, Denise Knell agreed to take the minutes. Darlyne Sowder has prepared this set of minutes since Denise's minutes appear to have been lost.

Approve Accounts Payable

A bill from the Ellettsville Police Reserves was presented for approval. The Parks Board was billed for 136 hours of security work at the Skate Park. The Parks Board had previously approved the $15 hourly rate. The total bill was $2040.00 (136 x $15). Denise Knell moved that we approve and pay the Ellettsville Police Reserves' bill for $2040.00. L. D. Axsom seconded and the motion carried by a vote of 4-0.

Darlyne Sowder reported that she had talked with The Awards Center and they were preparing a quote on a plaque listing the contributors for the Campbell's Park playground equipment. There was discussion of the wording on the plaque. The final wording approved was: In recognition of generous donations for Campbell's Park Playground Equipment, the Ellettsville Parks and Recreation Board thanks the following: [followed by the list of contributors]. Edwin Macatangay moved approval of the plaque at a cost not to exceed $100. L. D. Axsom seconded and the motion carried 4-0. It was agreed that the wording could be changed by The Awards Center if they had a better suggestion.

Edwin Macatangay asked that a summary of the claims be provided each month.

Old Business

5 Year Master Plan

The revised master plan was gone through, page by page, and a final list of revisions was made. Darlyne Sowder will submit these requested changes to Professor Segedy and ask for a final revision in time to take the master plan to the Town Council at its final meeting of the year on December 28. Denise Knell made a motion to approve the content of the 5-Year Master Plan, with a few typographical errors to be corrected before the final version is printed and presented to the Town Council for their approval. Edwin Macatangay seconded and the motion carried 4-0. Darlyne Sowder will check the final revision when it is received to make sure all corrections have been made. Since Darlyne plans to be out of town on December 28, Edwin Macatangay and Denise Knell will present the 5-Year Master Plan to the Town Council for their approval.

Denise Knell moved that the meeting adjourn at 9:30 p.m. L. D. Axsom seconded and the motion carried 4-0.
