Enhancement Committee Minutes June 6, 2025

Iris gave the treasurer’s report. We have $18,747.00 in our account currently.

Crystal:

  • Palm Tree removal quote – $200 to cut down and remove. $400 to remove and dig up and make it look presentable. It will cost approximately $574 to purchase and install a new tree. Hal made a motion to get rid of the old tree and replace it with a new tree of the same height…so roughly $1000 for everything. We voted to remove the old tree and replace it with one of the same height.
  • Banquet food quotes: GC (13.99/person), Smithfield (14.00/person), Fat Fellas (12.00/person). Danny Creech made a motion that we get a quote from Moores Barbeque. It was seconded…We voted and Karen is getting a quote. Mark made a motion that if Moores doesn’t work out, we go with Fat Fellas. It was seconded. This motion passed. We will vote between Moores and Fat Fellas once Karen gets the quote from Moores. She will send out an email for us to vote.
  • There was discussion on getting a quote to replace or paint the roof of the playground equipment. Crystal will get a quote.
  • Gene was unable to give a quote for finishing the border around the swings at the playground because he couldn’t get pricing for the materials needed. Danny Creech is going to price using PVC pipes or other material to finish the border around the swings. • Ginnie is going to check the lights that we have for decorating the front entrance to make sure that they are what we need.
  • Thank you to Mark and Chris for installing speakers at the shelter.

Marty:

  • It will cost $1000 to get a stationary train with 3 cars and a locomotive. Then there was discussion about putting another boat to make it look coastal. Commercial equipment cost – Train Caboose – $1972. This project was tabled until a further time. We need to finish the border around swings before we make a decision about another piece of equipment.

Ginnie:

  • Discussed design for replacing lattice that is around the electrical box at the front entrance. Chris and Mark are going to look into this project.
  • Discussed sun shades for the pool. She has seen these at Star Hill pool. She talked to someone at Star Hill to get information about these shades.

Umbrellas for pool:

  • Louis got a quote and it is $415 for push up and $425 for crank up. There is no warranty on these umbrellas but they will fix ribs for $50/person.
  • Lynn has a quote from Midtown Umbrellas. These have fiber glass poles and aluminum ribs. The material is terrylass. Free return if you don’t like them. 10 year limited warranty.These umbrellas are $299.
  • Hal made a motion to purchase the umbrellas from Morehead for $425 each. Chris seconded this motion. It was voted on and it passed. We will purchase 7 of these umbrellas. We will meet again on August 2 at 9:00.
