expenses to go out, which is $632.00.
Discussed Grant application.
Nel Annstrong addressed a letter that the City Administrator had shown to her, Rose made
copies of the letter for the board, she indicated the letter was supposed to be from the board
saying they will pledge $325,000.00 to the Railroad Park. Ms. Annstrong indicated she felt
the board should support the park, but felt the city should be obligated for part of that
money.
Julia Beavers indicated Jeff Krueger had sent in a letter stating that he will give them In-
Kind services for grading and leveling. She indicated they can not use grant funds for
planning and engineering, but 4B money can be used for engineering costs.
Julia Beavers indicated the city could give them In-Kind services, and indicated there were
others who are willing to donate services.
Discussion.
Julia Beavers indicated Curtis Gilley's company is going to do the plumbing.
Discussion concerning concession stand.
Net Annstrong indicated she is in favor of completing the park, but they need to say they
will spend approximately $325,000.00, or something other than just the figure of
$325,000.00.
Net Annstrong suggested they come up with a way to say they give them total support,
monetary, or whatever is needed, but not to put a figure to it. Ms. Annstrong indicated they
could list the people who are donating In-Kind services in the grant.
Julia Beavers indicated she would like to see engineering studies done.
