BEECER PARK CONCEPT PLAN
Grant Castleton shared a preliminary drawing of Beecher Park showing the items that we have
asked for to be developed at Beecher. The items were, but not limited to: parking, new soccer
fields, walking track, small shelters, drinking fountains, concessions, rest rooms, lighting,
basketball courts, volleyball courts, benches, pathways, and entrances. The Board thanked Mr.
Castleton for his efforts. He will make some additions for the October meeting and hopefully for
the Sept. 20th meeting with the community.
Sue asked the Board for ideas regarding purchases for soccer goals for the program which has
over 1.20 participants. Sue will decide whether to purchase I pr, for large field or 3 pr. for small
fields. Sue will know more at next meeting, and questioned whether land cash may be used for
the large semi-permanent goals as part of Beecher Park.
Larry Kot was concerned of enough help in the office so more ideas could be created. He wants
a copy of Director's job description.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 due to lack of quorum, because of sudden illness.
Respectfully submitted,
