Old Business

Geraldine McIntyre asked if the Parks Board paid their portion of the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Amber said yes. Richard Pease attended the event and it went very well. Amber added there was a good turnout from the community.

New Business

Amber Ragle presented a proposed ordinance that will go before the Town Council on January 12, 2009. This ordinance will “clean up” the Parks and Recreation section of the Town Code. The first change is in Section 95.10 (B) Reserving the Shelter Houses. It will state the rental fee amount includes Indiana Sales Tax; it will no longer specify the Indiana Sales Tax at a certain percentage. This will accommodate any changes that may be made in the future for the actual percentage rate to be charged. The second change is under Section 95.20 Skate Park; Permitted and Required Equipment, this section will be deleted in its entirety since the Town no longer has a skate park and this is no longer applicable. The third change is in Section 95.21 (B) (5); it will now say “Public facilities”. There were no objections to any of the proposed changes.

Adjournment

Jimmie Durnil adjourned the meeting.
