PARTNERSHIP FOR FLOYD
MONTHLY MEETING

Karin Grosshans presided and called the meeting to order. A quorum was attained.
Present were: Kamala Bauers, Mitch Cundiff, Mike Maslaney, Jane Cundiff, Jon Beegle, Margie Wells, Randall Wells, Fred First, Ann First, Mac Traynham, Jenny Traynham, Karin Grosshans, Becky Pomponio, and Dede McGrath.
The minutes from October 20, 2009, were approved as amended. The paragraph titled “Park Fundraising” under “Old Business” was deleted.
Treasurers’ Reports:
General Fund: Dede reported for Jo that we had a balance of $2791.40.
Park Fund: Karin, reporting for Betty, reported that the Park Fund had a balance of $10,445.00.
Old Business:
Park Planning Committee Report: Jane reported that work was done on the fund raising pamphlet. She also reported that she spoke with Korene and that the Town is trying to get a representative to attend our meetings. Jane also reported that they talked about the water management issue and that Korene indicated that she will be getting with Jeff and that Jeff will be giving a presentation at the next Town meeting. Becky suggested that Jane talk with Jeff prior to the meeting to find out what he will be presenting.
Jane reported that so far everyone likes the patio design. The question was raise as to whether we can get started with only $10,000 in the fund.
Mac and Jenny reported that the High School is interested in helping to build the music shelters. They still need materials to build with and are still looking at several sources. They need people to look for stone for the bases. It was recommended to do an article in the newspapers asking people for stones and trees/wood. Mac would be the point of contact. It was reported that some concerns were raised about the shelters needing to be see though for safety purposes. Jenny indicated that the shelters would be enclosed with a lattice or with rhodadenras or mountain laurels and only on two sides. Jane indicated that the Town wanted to know the dimensions; Jenny estimated that the shelters would be 10 x 12 foot with 3 sides of benches and two enclosed sides. Jenny expressed concern regarding the shelters placements and indicated that they needed to be closer to the top of the park nearer to the music.
Mike gave a brief explanation of the water problems with the park and indicated that, park or no, the water issues need to be addressed and that VDOT is really responsible for fixing them but they can’t/won’t. The water issue needs to be resolved before we can begin the patio. The question was raise as to whether we could do a water feature in the park, however, the Town is leery of having one for safety purposes. It was suggested that one solution would be to use the excess water to irrigate the park by utilizing several drain lines.
Mike reported that he is still working on the parking lot design. He was attempting to scan the plat so that he could work up the design.
It was decided that at the next Town meeting on Thursday that we would try to get three issues decided: 1) water issue so that we can start work on the patio, 2) provide the dimensions of the shelters and get the okay for the shelters, and 3) have the pamphlet approved.
Park Fundraising Pamphlet: Becky presented a working draft of the pamphlet. The board went through the pamphlet and made changes, additions, etc. Becky will rework the draft based on the changes and send a revised draft to the members. It was noted to remember to send the draft to the Lineberrys and the Town for approval. Kamala will look into bulk mailing costs. It was suggested that we might be able to print the pictures in color on a white background and Mike said he had some similar printing done recently and that it was not as expensive as expected. Dede will look into how to do a “box holder” mailing. It was suggested that we have the envelopes preprinted also.
A motion was made, seconded, and approved to spend up to $1500 from the Park Fund to have the pamphlet and envelopes printed.
Trails in Floyd: Randall reported that Dennis Anderson had resigned.
New Business:
None.
Announcements:
None.
Meeting was adjourned. Next meeting will be Tuesday, December 15, 2009, at 6:30 pm at Wall Residences.
