local businesses to assist in collecting contributions. Cm Irwin stated the
half-pipe is ready to be moved once a final location has been selected.
Chairman (Ch) Turk informed members that P&R would
not be receiving any grant money from the Hardy Plant Society. She received a letter of dismissal from the
society.
Cm Engelbrecht provided information from the Oregon
Foundation DataBook. She asked members
to take a look at the information and provide feedback on which grant(s)
P&R should consider working on. Ch
Turk asked for volunteers to work on grants.
Cm’s Adamson and Waggy agreed to help with some grant research and
preparation (time permitting). Cm Irwin
agreed to assist with project research (help with materials and pricing).
Cm Irwin informed P&R the location for the horseshoe
pit has already been selected. He
reminded members he initially approached the Commission with this project back
in March, but P&R decided to add the horseshoe pits to the April
agenda. Cm Irwin stated he is no longer
interested in working on this project. Cm Irwin stated he would give the
materials for the horseshoe pits to P&R.
He stated recreational pits need sand and professional pits require
clay. There are enough materials to build six horseshoe pits. Cm Adamson recommended contacting the Job
Corps regarding installations of the pits.
He will contact Bill Strawn as well.
P&R Vacancy
One position remains vacant. Recruitment will be placed
in the paper. Three positions must be

may be filled with residents living within/or outside City limits.
