DIVISION REPORTS:

 

Maintenance Division

Mr. Stuber updated the Commission on the grass cutting that is going on for the upcoming sports.  He asked if there were any questions about the subject at hand and there were none.

 

Recreation Division

Mrs. Heiselman updated the Commission regarding options for softball for next year. She reported that she has met with the State Director for Dixie Softball about that program.  Dixie Softball would require us to enter two all-star teams in each age group and this would be a definite negative factor. She is waiting to hear back from them to see if this rule is changed at the Dixie Softball Annual Meeting this fall.  She is also looking at other options for softball play so that our teams would have more local competition when it comes to tournament time.

 

Mrs. Heiselman also stated that other local recreation departments are considering going to Cal Ripken baseball next year.  She will gather additional information and report back to the Commission.

 

Mrs. Trevino inquired about the fire inspection at the Casey Center.  Mr. Stuber informed the Commission that we have looked into it and the maintenance staff is addressing the problem.  Mr. Kennedy voiced his opinion about the cost of smoke detectors. It was decided that battery operated smoke detectors would be purchased immediately for each room at the Casey Center and the emergency lighting and exit signs in Room B would be addressed as a priority.
