new bid packet should be ready to advertise and send out in approximately two
weeks from this date.
B. Commission members were told that the Mannin Memorial was a great success
and very beautiful. The donation to the park was estimated to be in value of
$10,000.00.
10. New Business -
A. Adult baseball use in M.B. Hood Park. (foul ball safety) After the issue was
explained and discussed, the commission voted to take no action. They agreed that
this was a personal issue and not a City business issue, believing that users of the
track should be aware of unlimited possibilities, while walking during any type of
baseball activities, in the area of the track.
B. Skateboarding in City concrete drainage areas, draining into Regional Park.
Skaters are jumping the curbing, onto adjacent properties. After discussing the
issue, the commission elected to take no action because it is not their jurisdiction.
11. Open meeting -
A. Ruby Riggins stated that she had one request to have a walking track
constructed around Travis Trussell duck pond. After discussing it and since there are no funds
available and the City does not own the property, on the west side, the commission elected to take
no action.
B. Mrs. Wall asked what could be done with the over growth of weeds and debris
along 5th Street/Hwy 70. Rusty explained that this is the responsibility of the property owner and
that Code Enforcement dealt with these issues. Furthermore, if a complaint was recorded, Code
Enforcement would investigate and proceed there after.
12. Next meeting set for October 10, 2002.
13. Meeting adjourned at 5:20 P.M.
