Taos parks board approves two scoreboards, buys credit-card terminal and sets pavilion fee
Summary
At its April 27 meeting the Taos Parks and Recreation Board approved purchases including two scoreboards and a credit-card terminal, set both pavilion rental fees at $50, and approved supplies purchases; vote tallies and mover/second details were not specified in the minutes.
The Taos Parks and Recreation Board voted April 27 to purchase two electronic scoreboards for Fields 1 and 2, authorize procurement of a credit-card terminal for concessions and sign-ups, and set rental fees for both upper and lower pavilions at $50.
President Michelle Gablesberger called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. and led discussion of operational and capital items. The board reviewed scoreboard pricing — one board at $6,745.35 or two for $13,385.70, the same model used for Field 3 — and voted to purchase two scoreboards. The minutes do not specify the motion mover, seconder, or the vote tally.
On payments, the board discussed terminal options, including a $10-per-month fee and an upfront machine cost, and the need to charge a service fee for some transactions. The minutes note that a vendor named Legends offered service with no fees and that the board approved acquiring a terminal; President Michelle Gablesberger will set it up.
The board set pavilion rental fees for both the upper and lower pavilions at $50. The minutes record the fee decision but do not list a formal vote tally or who moved the motion.
Other operational actions included approval to purchase a pallet of 56 bags of field chalk from 'CoMo' for $364 plus $41 delivery and authorization to install “No Parking/Maintenance only” signs. The concession stand reported a net profit of $3,773.44 to date and noted an in-kind donation of condiments.
The meeting also covered scheduling and maintenance: upcoming ball tournament dates (May 2, May 9, May 30 and May 31), a Sky Fest planned for June 27 with a planning meeting May 4 at 6:00 p.m., and reminders to report spring maintenance needs to Michelle so she can coordinate with Ron and Derek. Tom Wieberg is obtaining estimates on new gutters. The minutes end with a to-do list of facility repairs and routine tasks. The meeting adjourned at 9:23 p.m.
The minutes do not provide specific vote tallies or identify who made or seconded motions beyond noting that the minutes were approved after a motion by Jim Kline. Where the minutes named individuals the article attributes actions to them (for example, President Michelle Gablesberger). Roles for some named participants (for example, Kevin, Ron, Derek) are not specified in the minutes; the article does not assign titles beyond what appears in the record.
