Rod met with Waste Management and Erie Times News on the complex and how it benefits the community and explained how many kids played this year, etc. Rod did mention the need for a storage building as well.
J&S auction is this weekend. Not sure how old the supplies would be.
For the August meeting we need a list of the top 5 projects that need to be considered for next season. Top priority right now is getting the complex fields rebuilt and tiled. The league has decided to use fields 1 & 2 for boys and 4 & 5 for girls. We will extend the 1st and 3rd base lines on all 4 fields. The league will get bids from Dale Zimmer, Wander, Showman and Wards Landscaping. A company that can do the entire project will do the project. A spec sheet will be created and distributed for bids.
Bids will be gotten from Erie Fence, Hi-T and Haibach Services for the fence/gate project as well.
The league will do a special thank you to John and Fern Carr for being our special ground crew team this year. Garry has ordered them t-shirts as part of the thank you gift.
The tractor is not useable at this point, Pennocks will need to pick up and take a look at it.
