She asked about the roads in town and where we were on any paving. Mr Garner said that he hoped to know something soon.

Mr Money stated that the Recreation Board has done a wonderful job. Everyone is wanting lights and we are losing players because of not having them. He stated that the Rec Board had gotten a quote for red brick clay for the fields and that the least the town could do was purchase this to help the fields look good. The Rec Board stated the quote was for twenty-four tons at $2400 and they needed at least two loads. All agreed to make the purchase.

Several members present and on Facebook were upset about not having lights at the ballpark. They were informed how the project was at first presented at a repair instead as a replace. So, we are waiting on FEMA to give us the green light. We also have another revenue in the works as well we are trying for through the legislature. Once we get the money, we have everything ready to go out for bid. Mr Money suggested that the Rec Board and Mr Garner start meeting in the future once a month, so that there is open communication being the two boards.
