The minutes of the last meeting were reviewed and discussed. Members
of the Board agreed that the minute-taking duties should be rotated
because the minutes are too short for a meeting that last two hours
and members are being misquoted. The Board will discuss this matter
with the Recreation Director before taking action.
Cindy Corey asked that Board Members come up with their budget recom-
mendations, submit/get them to her and she would in turn put the Board's
recommendation together. Jane Tanner agreed to type the recommendations
on her computer.
Cindy mentioned that there are some funds in this year's budget,
because the Board has not spent any, that she would like to see allocated
to summer activities in Russell Park and Adele Grage Community Center.
The Board agreed not to hold a meeting next month because several of
the members would be out of town, therefore the meeting scheduled for
June 21st has been cancelled.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
