Council approves $1,000 for landscaping; Homecoming and ballpark volunteer efforts planned
Summary
Council approved a $1,000 landscaping budget, heard Homecoming plans for May 22 and Memorial Day flag volunteers, and discussed ballpark upgrades including potential scoreboard donations and lighting grant conversations.
The council approved a $1,000 budget for bushes and flowers after hearing that landscaper Bob Schooley would donate labor, but council members emphasized the need for volunteers to water plantings to avoid waste.
Becky Walden announced Homecoming will be May 22 and requested donations and volunteers; Eddie Beard pledged a $100 donation and volunteers will be needed to accept donations at the cemetery and place flags for Memorial Day. Mayor Randy Jones and Ken Collins said they had spoken with potential donors and grant partners; Randy reported meetings about ballpark lights and grant opportunities and that Joey could secure a $650 donation. The council discussed costs for dust control at the park (estimated at $6,000 by county) and said they would explore alternatives.
Council also noted work on the ballpark infield and plans for a new gazebo and play set at the park.
