Old Business: Luthy plots – 4 lots of 27 acres apiece are landlocked. Shawn has our lawyer looking into options for granting an easement to these properties.
New Business:
- IVC Youth Athletics has asked for money to make improvements to the Medina Park ball fields. In the past, we have paid for or provided material with the IVCYA providing volunteer labor. Courtney Burcar, president of IVCYA, came to present some plans they are requesting to improve the park. They would like to build Field 5 back up for a youth or slow pitch field or practice field. A playground nearby would also be nice. The travel board would like to widen the batting cages. They can get 8 volunteers to spread material on the fields. Kelly Seed estimate is $1170.00 for grass seed and materials. Shawn made a motion to approve this expenditure. Luke seconded. A roll call vote was taken: Shawn – Aye, Luke – Aye, Cindy – Aye, Adam – Aye. The motion passes.
- County regulations require that the land at Wheaton St be brush hogged, sprayed and grass seed planted. Kelch Landscaping will do this work for us.
- The audit report from Hjerpe and Tennison was passed out to the Trustees for review.
