HUDSON PARK BOARD

September 24, 2007

The Park Board met on Monday, September 24, 2007, in the Town Hall. Those present were: Anna Platt, Betty Hamm, Gene Hamm, Tatsy Hayes, Chad Minier, and Ward Odom.

President Chad Minier called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Those present were given copies of the minutes of the previous meeting. Gene Hamm moved, seconded by Anna Platt, to accept the minutes. Motion carried.

Town Manager Ward Odom explained to the group the cost of the play set they had chosen was more expensive then originally thought and that there was an overlapping of equipment that the park already had. He was in contact with an Indiana playground company and a representative, Brian Rose, would be coming to Hudson on Monday, October 1, at 10:00 a.m. to show us other possibilities and costs that we could incorporate without purchasing the whole set. He also gave them a copy of climbing structures from Burke Company the Geosculpt that might be a great addition to the park. The revised skating board ordinance was reviewed by the members. This ordinance was primarily for use in Hardy Park. Anna Platt motioned, seconded by Gene Hamm to send this to the Town Council for their next meeting on October 26, 2007. Motion carried. Signs have been purchased by a donation for the Halloween Festival to be held October 27, 2007. Trick or Treat will be held on October 31 from 5-7. The Town Manager will contact Indiana Northeastern Railroad Company so that railroad crossings are not blocked at this time.

Chad Minier inquired about the possibility of making a running path on the Easterday property. It was mentioned that the Town Council had already given permission for practice ball diamonds to be made by the ball league and it was felt that there should be no problem getting approval. This will be brought up at the next council meeting.

The next Park Board Meeting will be Monday, October 8th at 7:00 pm in the Town Hall. Chad Minier moved, seconded by Gene Hamm to adjourn. Motion passed. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Atta “Tatsy” Hayes
