seconded the motion. All approved.
B. Ordinance Review
Director Jones projected the parks ordinances on the wall so the board could review them
with her. She had previously made revisions and asked the boards thoughts on those
revisions. Much discussion was had. If the board had any suggestions outside of the
meeting they are to let Director Jones know. Kevin mentioned that he would like to know
attendance information at each meeting. Stacey will be updating the board with these.
C. Aquatics Committee Update
Recreation Division Manager Penny Williams reported on August 28th, the committee met
with the consultant and they gave a presentation on different options. The options ranged

if the funding is not there they will need to look at other options. The operating cost for
this facility is also a concern. Mrs. Williams will be giving the consultant a tour of Central in
the near future just as another option.
