Beardstown Park District Board met March 27.
Here is the minutes provided by the board:
The March meeting of the Beardstown Park District board of commissioners was held at the Schewe Community Center. Travis Schroll called to order and roll was taken. Commissioners present included Travis Schroll, Becky Jones, Johnny Hardwick, and Bob Schaefer. Also in attendance were Park Director Jason Brockschmidt, Secretary-Treasurer Julie Robertson, Larry Kight, Steve Megginson and Nathan Carls.
The first order of business was to acknowledge Larry Kight for his 34 years of service on the Park Board of Directors. Next, Mr. Brockschmidt and the members of the Board welcomed Nathan Carls to the Board and his first meeting following his appointment at the February meeting.
The treasurer's report was approved on a motion by Mr. Schaeffer and a second by Mrs, Jones. The claims list was approved after a motion by Mr. Hardwick and a second by Mr. Schaeffer.
Mr. Brockschmidt then presented the directors report. He said we have received a check from the insurance company for loss of income resulting from the December 1 , 2018 tornado. The check totaled $6,922 and this amount can be transferred from the Recreation fund to the Corporate to cover the deficit in that account. Mr. Brockschmidt also mentioned the loan for the pool needed to be extended as we still haven't received the funds from the state for the pool. Mr. Hardwick made a motion that we will extend the pool loan, and Mrs. Jones seconded the motion.
Mr. Brockschmidt also mentioned that the new parking lot and entrance project will be started soon. As a result of the entrance project, the main entrance to the park will be closed for approximately one week, The public will be made aware of this and informed they need to use the other entrance during this time. He also told the board that we still are without power at Jones and Lewis fields. So until we regain power, there will be no concessions at these locations. We will turn this loss of income into the insurance as well after they have reopened and we have an accurate estimate of the amount of income that was lost. Construction on the new building is currently undeMay by Mr. Dawson and will be completed soon. As soon as ii is complete, we can have the transformer brought in and Mr. Birdsley will restore power to those fields.
Mr. Brockschmidt also brought to the Board's aftention the deterioration of the walk path. Several ideas were discussed to provide a solution to this problem. lt was also menlioned that they would need to get the permission from the Lost Creek Drainage District before any work can be completed on the path. He also told the Board that we have two treadmills that need replaced. We have received a quote for two
reconditioned True treadmills. But rt was decided that with warmer weather approaching, and more people starting to walk outside, it would be best to wait until Fall to purchase the new treadmills.
Mr. Brockschmidt closed the meeting by discussing the approaching pay ancreases for the summer staff, adult lltness is all of the programing going on in April, and the recreation flyer for summer will be ready around the middle of April. He also mentioned that the Beardstown Baseball Association is looking into applying for TIF funds to build new restrooms by Lewi6 field.
