A Straw Vote was
confirmed regarding the construction cost of a culvert on Independence Drive . The initial estimated cost of $11,025.00 plus
an additional cost for extra gravel of $300.00 = Total $11,325.00 was paid to
Bill Milligan Construction.
The Board received a
request to ‘consider posting the front pond for Children/Youth fishing only’. After some discussion, GM James Turner summed
up the comments by stating: “We don’t
need to add another non-enforceable rule.”
* Traditionally, Arkansas Game & Fish Commission stock the
front pond once a year for the Lion’s Club Annual Fishing Derby.
