Linda Gray called the meeting to order at 6:40 PM. Those in attendance were:
Linda Gray, Beverly Loftis, Mark Mailes, Ann Martin, Mike Koinis, Pat
Lawrence, Gayle Jackson, Lisa Ward, Debbie Rae and Dan Cooper.
2. Treasurer's Report
Dan Cooper reported that we have a balance of $304,000 in our account, but
the county still owes $30,000 which it pledged at the 1998 PLB. It was brought up
that Commissioner Radack usually sends that money in August.
Dan also reported that Deloitte/Touche had not paid for their 1998 PLB table;
Jere Ahrens is following up.
I Approval of Minutes
Linda Gray noted that the wrong page 2 of the minutes had been sent with last
month's minutes. After Gayle Jackson read the correct page 2, the minutes were
approved.
4. Committee Reports
a. Foundations - Pat Lawrence reported on a brochure from Texas Parks and
Wildlife regarding what they give money for and what their deadlines for
submitting proposals are (1/31 and 7/31). We are not yet in a position to ask for
any money from them. We need to figure out what to do at Colonial Park as we
may have a lot coming soon to purchase; the City has made an offer on a piece of
property in the park.
Linda Gray will meet with the City Council in September to present the ideas that
the "Friends" brainstormed about.
Pat Lawrence will be looking at the Texas Parks and Wildlife packet to become
familiar with their guidelines so she can report to the "Friends" board.
b. Park Lovers' Ball - Ann Martin passed out a Park Lovers' Ball Report so that all
members could read what has been accomplished thus far. Several underwriter
tables have been spoken for.
c. Grassroots - Linda reported that the last time she met with Henry Rosenbloom
he definitely wanted to give $10,000 for arose garden in Whitt Johnson Park. He
also indicated he was still thinking about money for a pocket park. Right now he
is in New York for awhile. Linda has a Letter of Agreement ready for him to
sign.
5. New and Other Business
Chase Bank of Texas sent out letters for their grand opening. Linda reported that
hers was received Thursday before the Saturday grand opening. Most of the board
members reported that they did not get one at all. Linda to follow up with their public
relations person to see if they will extend their offer.
We will have an election of new officers next month. Letters of Resignation have
been received from Carolyn Rappazzo and Mark Spradling. A letter needs to go out
advising of our vacancies. We have two new members: Margaret Wallace
and Mike Koinis. Beverly is to call prospective new members Goette, Gift, Moretta
