General discussion followed during which Ms. Brantley stated Gary Birdsong's proposal was to add another light pole down the center of the field as is on the existing front fields with 20 fixtures put on the proposed pole. like the other one. This would give them adequate light to finish playing their night games. This post will not have to be moved, it will be in complaince with what the other lights are, if they decide to light the whole field, they just add other poles to it. It is exactly in line with what the other lights are, however it is only lighting one-half of the field, there are only lights on one side. Discussion con- tinued, during which Chairman Sandy asked how many fields will it light. and Ms. Brantley stated it will help light both fields. Chairman Sandy further asked if the 2 fields it helps light, will it light them to the same illumination that the other playing fields are. ~ls. Brantley stated "no, there are no lights on the other side, but it will give them the illumination they are asking for to be able to playa game there if they need that field. Chairman Sandy went on to state this would fill what soccer was wanting but it does not meet the criteria the board stated for illumination. Discussion continued, afterwhich ~1ember Warren made a motion to rejct the Turner Street Park recommendation for adding one (1) light pole until it meets the standards the board agreed upon for illumination of the current field. The motion was seconded by Member Martin. Chairman Sandy then asked for any discussion, and ~1ember Martin stated instead of just saying illumination, state illumination as well as quality. The motion was then approved by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: All members present voted aye None, The board went on to discuss the little league complex. Chairman Sandy asked ~~s. Brantley what the additional $3,000 for the complex was for. Ms. Brantley stated that one is the reasons is right now, no one knows where we have to pull the power to, we cannot add to the existing lights. There is a hugh vault out there, however we don't know if we can pull the power to there or not. If it is not used, the $3,000 will stay in the bond funds, ~;r. Birdson had stated he would feel better if the funds were there if needed for the power. After discussion, ~1ember '~artin made a motion to approve the additive of $3.000 for the little league complex.
