Commission endorses wellness day, hears trail environmental-assessment public notice and sets field-use review committee work
Summary
The commission endorsed a Wellness and Fitness Awareness Day scheduled for Oct. 4, heard announcements about a soccer-field lighting dedication Sept. 13 and a public-review period for the Stones River Greenway environmental assessment, and appointed a committee to review usage of a new five-field complex.
Commissioners endorsed a citywide Wellness and Fitness Awareness Day set for Tuesday, Oct. 4, which staff said would include low-impact aerobic classes, health screenings (cholesterol and blood pressure) and participation by local health organizations and schools. Lynn Humpke, program coordinator, and Lisa Lewis, wellness and fitness coordinator, described plans to ask physical-education teachers to coordinate a 20-minute activity in schools on that date and to solicit participation from the downtown Chamber of Commerce and local nonprofits.
Staff also announced a dedication and lighting ceremony at the soccer complex (McKnight Park) scheduled for Sept. 13 at 5:15 p.m., when the new field lights will be activated; members and community dignitaries were invited to attend and to see the first games under lights at 6 p.m.
The commission received a public-notice read by staff announcing that the environmental assessment for the Stones River Greenway revisions and spur trail would be available for public review from the coming Sunday through October 1994 at Linebaugh Library, the MTSU Library and the Stones River National Battlefield visitor center; written comments were to be accepted through Oct. 17, 1994, with a city contact provided for questions.
Staff reminded commissioners that two members — Mr. Bratcher and Ms. Brown — had been appointed to work with department staff to review field usage when the McKnight five-field complex opens and to return recommendations to the commission; staff said the group will meet with league representatives before the commission considers final field-use arrangements, given the potential for controversy over allocations.
Separately, the commission approved endorsement of the Wellness and Fitness Awareness Day via motion and voice vote.
