Minutes for April 27, 2009 were approved as presented
Max Lennington will send financials from the county June and December and any others
we may need.
Scott Reiter is coming next week to discuss the new stadium and tell us what can and will
be held there, who is renting/leasing the stadium, tournaments scheduled, perceived
benefits to the community
James says Joe Gentry from the Railroad is in charge of land sales and leases so there
will need to be an agreement written thru him to use the other side of Main Street.
The Questionnaire will be changed as follows: #4 will be put at the end, 46 will be re
worded, #2 & #S will be combined.
Discussion continued to think about Linda Frickel becoming the "front" person on an
active basis for the TIF District. We will have to give her an idea what we are looking for.
The Mayor said he will try to attend meetings when possible.
There was some discussion in developing a skating park for the kids for those too old for
the playground and too young to drive. The cost may be as high as $600,000. There had
been a skateboard store in town a few years ago.
We are continuing to focus on a visible project and working to formalize it. We will
form a task force to develop projects.
James brought us a staffing chart and copy of last years budget. The book on future
committed plans is too big to copy but we may be able to get a list of what is currently on
the books.
