The terms of
service for the Parks Board members were reviewed. L.D. Axsom’s
term expires 12/31/05. Mr. Axsom informed the
board that he was not seeking reappointment.
Jeff Frownfelter
has researched the Parks Master Plan. He went to the Indiana Department of
Natural Resources website and found the Planning Guidelines for Five Year Parks and Recreation
Master Plans and printed it out for all the members. It contains the address and
deadline for submitting the plan. It also gives guidelines for writing and submitting
grants along with sources of funding. The Master Plan must be submitted before January 15, 2006. Jeff said he would print it out and send it in. He also stated that page
12 mentions the requirement that the Master Plan must contain the Form 504
Assurance of Compliance, which was taken out of our plan. We will still try to
submit it and see what happens.
Jeff Frownfelter
notified the board that he will be resigning at the end of 2005 and turned in his
letter of resignation.
Amber Ragle stated
the proceeds from the Coke Machines at the Skate Park were $47.00.
Amber also
informed the board that the Street Department would be closing the Parks
Restrooms for the winter and would be incurring some minor expenses related to
closing them.
Dennis Williamson
would like to see the Parks Board work more closely with the Main Street committee on
projects. He also would like to sit down with the Street Department and discuss
the Part-Time Street/Park employee and give him some more specific direction
related to Parks duties.
The meeting was
moved to adjourn by Geraldine McIntyre and seconded by Edwin Macatangay. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:55 pm.
