 | Meeting is called to order. |
| There was no quorum for the August meeting. |
| The July meeting minutes are approved. |
| Treasurer's report by Chuck Mabley shows an end of the month of August
balance of $5,364.80. |
| Covered bridge report:
| Neil Kocsis presents several designs for the board to peruse. There was
discussion of a possible design being painted on the bridge. Some recommend
that we just do a stain to keep the bridge rustic looking. |
| Many members seem to lean towards the # 2 bridge design presented. |
| Chuck Mabley makes a motion that design #2 is pursued with the Trail
Commission. This is seconded by Dennis Tipsword and the motion passed. |
|
| September Trail Commission Meeting: (thanks to Chuck Mabley)
| Announced that all funds promised are theirs and paid off. The trail is
paid for! |
| Suggestions were taken for the creation of a handbook. Suggestions were
made for the handbook to include rules and procedures for special use,
picnic areas, and use of foliage for landowners. It will be compiled this
winter. |
| A $500 donation was received. A policy will be written for
remembrance/honorariums. |
| There was a request from Stoney Park Apartments, at Mound and 26 Mile.
They would like to run an apron onto the trail. This form of trail access
seems as though it will work. |
| The George Adam's proposal is still being negotiated. |
| Romeo Court Public project is also being negotiated. |
| Chuck Mabley informed the Trail Commission about Neil's bridge project. |
| Anthony Casasanta says they've been doing daily inspections for clearing
stones off of the highways. |
| Bids will soon be taken for next year's maintenance contract. |
| Status for the pre-engineer phase 11 and III will possibly start this
winter. |
|
| October elections are corning up. |
| Rich Platz mentioned that some sort of commemoration of Lee Sorensen
should be made on the trail. This could maybe be done at the Richmond
dedication ceremony. |
| Marty Osborne will be missing the next few meetings. |
| Marty Osborne made a motion for someone to fill his position, which was
seconded by Chuck Mabley. Neil Kocsis was made the acting board member. |
| A question was posed by Jim Kaatz, about the Richmond Township progress. |
| Marty Osborne makes a motion to adjourn. Rich Platz seconds the motion.
Meeting adjourned. |
Next official meeting is Tuesday, October 26, 2004 at Camp
Rotary.
