MINUTES Present: Cheryl Van Metre, Archie Johnston, Charles Boozer, Ray Archibald, Drew Weeks, and Iris Hill (Ex-Officio Member) Absent: Burley Lyons Minutes of previous meeting were approved as read. Mrs. Van Metre reported the monies in the Bell Fund are: 444,754.48 – balance Mrs. Van Metre stated she and the Display Committee were happy the ATAX Board voted unanimously to approve the requested $19,800 in ATAX Funds. Mrs. Van Metre also reported the Display Committee met and voted to put up bead board in the Heritage Display area and they don’t expect to go over $4,000 to accomplish this. At this time she handed out copies of the budget to the committee members. Project #1 will be the first project to be started. This is the video project Scott is working on. A letter of intent was sent by Iris Hill to LWCF informing them we will be applying for grant funds to do the restrooms. The seawall will have to be done before the restrooms. We are still waiting on the permit that was applied for by Tom Hutto before this work can be started. This permit will allow us to fill in the rail area before the seawall can be started. Mrs. Hill believes we will likely get the Brownsfield money for the cleanup of the contaminated rail area. Mrs. Hill has asked Patrick Brown and Gus Gusler to check into the thickness of the vinyl seawall before we definitely decide what product we want to use. Mr. Johnston moved that we request permission from council to submit the grant request to LWCF for the restrooms. Motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Mrs. Hill stated that they had used RCP Shelters in Florida to build a shelter that was 20 X 20 for $25,000. She thinks we can build a shelter for much less than $82,000 as was quoted. Mr. Archibald said he just built a shelter for much less also and he estimates we can build one for approximately $30,000. Mrs. Hill suggested the committee members go to rcpshelters.com and see what styles and materials they have to offer. The master plan design was discussed by the committee. They decided the angled parking on the master plan needs to be angled in the opposite direction. This new design will be called the Revised Master Plan. Mrs. Hill is to ask Mr. Tarkany to change the Bell Buoy Committee/Minutes direction of the angled parking. Also, a small piece of the dock is attached to the land and not to the dock. This also needs to be changed on the master plan. Mrs. Weeks moved that we take this to council with the above mentioned 2 changes. Mr. Boozer seconded and the motion carried unanimously. After much discussion on the design of the restrooms, it was decided a subcommittee should be formed to look into the design of the restrooms. The subcommittee will consist of Ray Archibald and Charles Boozer and will be called the Restroom Design Committee. The stage, sewer lines and electrical work was also discussed. It was suggested that Mrs. Van Metre put together a sub-committee for stage design with people from the Art Guild. She has chosen herself, Dee Moseley, and Virginia Woodhead, with Tom McDonald and John Roberts as consultants. Ray Archibald moved to have Bob Doub address the sewer issue. Mr. Boozer seconded and motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Johnston moved the get guidance on the electrical work from Patrick Brown. Mr. Archibald seconded and the motion was unanimously approved. The committee decided at this time to leave the lists of the names for the park at the Town for another month. Mrs. Van Metre stated she would like to see Archie Johnston remain on the committee if at all possible. This decision will be left up to council. Mrs. Weeks moved to ask council to allow Mr. Johnston remain on the committee. Mr. Boozer seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
