I Mr. Colclough: We decided to go with the renovations, with the additions that we talked about at the last meeting. Mr. Oliver: The cap on the concrete with the metal roof and that. Mr. Colclough: And the extension of the basketball court, parking, tennis court and lighting. Mr. Oliver: Here's gonna be the key and I can't answer this until he gets done. What's gonna have to happen is however far the $60,000 goes. Mr. Colclough: That was the agreement. That's what I went back with. That's what we talked about at our last meeting. That's why we rolled it over to this meeting. Mr. Kuhlke: I thought we talked about whether you were going to put up a new shelter or renovate the old one and then whatever else you could do with the money that you had. In other words, the $60,000 is the cap. Mr. Colclough: That's what we talked about. I Mr. Oliver: I think we can work with the neighborhood to spend that $60,000 the way they would like to spend it. Mr. Beck: What we talked about in the last meeting was that we would renovate the shelter, and do other improvements in the park as part of the $100,000. Then you I were going back to the Committee out there and bring that to them about the new shelter. Mr. Colclough: The shelter, extension of the basketball court, lighting and tennis court. Mr. Beck: We can also make parking improvements and improvements to the basketball court. Mr. Oliver: And you can do all this within the $86,000 that's budgeted? Mr. Beck: Yes. Mr. Colclough: So move. Mr. Kuhlke: Second. Mr. Brigham: On this shelter renovation, are we going with metal or are we going with what's there? Mr. Oliver: No. We're going to do a two inch concrete cap on top of the concrete. We're going to clean the shelter, stain the shelter, repair the wood and we'll put a metal I roof overlay over the top of it, just like we essentially did down at the Boathouse, with the exception the roof will be metal instead of shingle.

(No objectors) Mr. Brigham: So move. Mr. Kuhlke: Second. Motion carried unanimously. Consider establishment of a coordinating group for all County activities involving the Savannah River and the river corridor. I Mr. Oliver: As you all are aware the Governor has a proposal that's going into his budget next year to provide for twenty percent green space. There has been some I discussion that some way there needs to be a group that is going to make recommendations and to insure that the green spaces are properly protected. And I think this is something that is best thought about for a while before any action is taken. And I don't recommend that you take any specific action today, but rather discuss it with people within the community and see what they think is the how all these groups become partners and are pulling in the same direction. That would be my suggestion at this point that this be received as information and then perhaps in a month or so you can discuss it in more detail. Mr. Brigham: Is there any reason why these groups can't meet informally rather than having a committee for them. I'll make the motion that we receive this as information and suggest that we don't do any thing until they have an opportunity to meet informally and organize themselves, rather than make an appointment thing out of it. Mr. Kuhlke: Second. Mr. Mays: Rather than speak for Tom, I don't see anything wrong with what's there and I agree with the motion. But, one slight thing there that's a little different and I know Recreation and Parks will coordinate with any effort that goes on regarding the river rather it's recreation or just in general. I think as long as you have a situation there I where you have Recreation in somewhat of a support group in part of what's there with the river. The situation that I am referring to is the portion that Rommie covers in there. You have a lot of organizations being named in here and I think you need to have that person, even if they are meeting informally, as long as that is still separated, you need to have her involved in that as well. Because some of the things that we may support in general recreation that have to go on, recreation maybe has to back up. But then a lot of it starts in her office per se. And I think if they are going to do that type of contact in there they need to deal with both because there maybe some that Tom and those may not get a hold to until its rolling. Even though they will support and do the back up in it. But I think some things that are going to come through there that are going to possibly be in there first. Motion carried unanimously. A request to approve an amendment to Environmental Protection Division (EPD) Scrap Tire Education Grant. Mr. Sherman: This portion of the grant is to fund the position of an inspector to help monitor those that handle scrap tires to see that they go to the proper place for disposal. The education part went to Clean & Beautiful to help educate the public on how to dispose of scrap tires. I I Mr. Oliver: She is asking for an extension and a redistribution of those monies as to how they will be used. They will be used for the purpose of printing literature, buying some equipment, part time educator that's contracted, travel and postage. Mr. Kuhlke: I move we defer this until the next Committee meeting. Mr. Colclough: Second. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Oliver: Mr. Beck called my attention to the fact that there was an item that was hung up in Finance because I don't think that they understood it regarding the purchase of some equipment to maintain the golf course. He would like to get that going. I have no objections to that if the Committee is willing to do that. Mr. Beck: Three years ago the City entered into a lease purchase on all the maintenance equipment at the golf course. That lease terminates the end of October. This would be a new lease for three years worth of new equipment for the golf course. This is a budgeted item. Mr. Brigham: So move to add. I Mr. Kuhlke: Second. Motion carried unanimously. A request to approve a lease-purchase contract with Stovall Turf and Industrial, Inc. in the amount of $4,125.05 for thirty-six months for various golf course maintenance equipment. Mr. Kuhlke: So move. Mr. Brigham: Second. Motion carried unanirnously. With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned. Lena 1.
