CALL TO ORDER
The called meeting of the Park
and Recreation Board was called to order at 7:45 in the Conference
Room of the Euless City Hall by Chairman Charles Hunt. Members
present were Mrs. Carolyn Griffin and Messrs. Charles Hunt and
Jay Theder. (Absent were Mrs. Jolly Rawlings, Councilman Harold
Copher, and Mr. David Williams).

reation Director Frank Lindsey and Recording secretary Denise

INVOCATION
The invocation was given by Mr.

I.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Lindsey had given a complete
report at the regular Park and Recreation Board meeting, but
updated the Board on a newly proposed class on Dough Sculpture
scheduled to start after the first of the year.
II.
WEST EULESS PARK
Mr. Theder gave a report from the
last Council meeting where the Council expressed their feelings
that Big State Contractors should be assessed damages for over
extending their 90-day contract. They also took the recommendation
as previously submitted by the Park Board to allow them thirty (30)
additional days grace for any inconvenience that may have occurred.
Mr. Lindsey submitted projections on
next year's athletic program which showed the need for additional
lit space if the program's needs are to be met. (See attached form)
A discussion on West Euless was
held at length with the conclusion that more data was needed. Mr.
Lindsey was requested to meet with Mr. Charles Page and see the
minimum candle-light power needed to adequately light the fields
for girls softball and soccer. This report with price estimates
is to be made available at the next regular Park Board meeting.

III.
MIDWAY PARK SWIMMING POOL
Mr. Lindsey stated that the present
budget contained enough money to replace the filtering system. The
diving boards was an item taken from the budget but does have a
safety factor involved if we are to try to use these boards another
year.
It was requested that Mr. Lindsey
bring to the next meeting an estimated cost to duplicate at Midway
a bathhouse comparable to the ones now existing at Wilshire and
South Euless as suggested in the capital improvement plans.
IV.
RIFLE RANGE
A letter from Theron D. Carroll,
Hunter Safety Corrdinator, was read to the Board. It stated they
were requesting preliminary plans and estimated costs be made available
where they could proceed with our application. _
Mr. Lindsey was instructed to procur
this information and make it available to the Hunter Safety Commission
and report back to the Park Board at our next regular meeting.
V.
A meeting between the City Council
and the Park Board was discussed for early 1975, to inform the Council
of the proceedings taking place within the Park Board, and receive
direction for future planning. The Board felt that it was very
important that their labors be directed in the direction the Council
was presently planning.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 P.M.
APPROVED:
Chairman
