John Hendenon addressed the board in regards to the fencing, back stops, and
sprinkler system.
Lengthy discussion followed regarding the cost of the concrete and advertising for bids
if the proposals were more than $25,000.00.
John Hendenon indicated he had only received one bid proposal for the fencing and
backstops and for both fields the quote was $24,800.00 for the fences and $4500.00 for
the backstops.
Board expressed that this seems expensive and indicated that possibly if it was
advertised they could get it done for less.
The board instructed John to get proposals for the Fences, backstops, sprinkler system,
and concrete work and indicated if each bid was less than $25,000.00 then schedule
another meeting for the board to approve the proposals.
The Board discussed the disbursement for Jack Smith's trip to Austin for the Texas
Department of Economic Development meeting.
City Manger indicated this was a requirement and as a registered agent for the City he
attended the meeting to be in compliance.
The City is asking for reimbursement from the 48 Board for half of the cost, which is
$216.45. The City will ask the 4A Board to reimburse the other half.
