Approval of Minutes
Minutes of the September 7, 2011 Meeting of the Board were approved with the
following change: Strike the paragraph that read as follows at the end of the Judson Park
Redevelopment Report:
Assuming the Friends are able to fund the "usual" $150,000,00 for the Whitt Johnson
Park Redevelopment Project in 2012, we would have a budget of approximately
$121,0$$.25 available to facilitate this project completely in the spring of 2012, Staff's
goal is to have the complete design and budget for the Whitt Johnson Park Project, for
Friends Board approval by November 1, 2011. This will allow Friends to effectively
promote Whitt Johnson Park as the "beneficiary" of the 2012 Park Lovers Ball proceeds
and hopefully solicit sponsorships for specific elements of the project
Welcome and Opening Remarks (Leah Ragiel)
Leah welcomed the board and began the meeting with a discussion of the September
minutes. With some discussion, the minutes were approved as written.
Fathers & Flashlights (Sara Edgecomb, Maggie Garza, Amanda McGee)

was a great success. Sara and Maggie extended their thanks to Tim O'Connor and the
Parks & Recreation staff who were helpful, organized and friendly. The weather was very
cooperative and there were a record low number of no shows. In attendance were 254
