AGENDA ITEMS
Minutes
Megan reviewed Committee minutes dating back to 1985 to look at actions and survey
results regarding Perry Park usage and improvements needed.
Lynette brought to the attention of the Committee about an organization who is
attempting to develop a baseball team\league for kids over 15\16; however, there are not
enough fields already to facilitate the existing programs.
Louis also brought up his concerns about the reactions previously mentioned. He lives in
the area and has previously played on those fields. Many teams over the years have left
our softball leagues because of current park conditions. Something has to be done to
improve these conditions.
Dorothy has two concerns:
l. What is the Committee for?; Committee has been and should be to focus
• on these types of improvements and recommend solutions.
