Committee Reports
Building, Grounds & Operations —Richard Hastings reported that the USS Frank E. Evans DD-
754 engraved stone will be installed at no cost on the Veteran's Memorial Hall grounds on
October 27, 2011. Mr. Hastings asked that the following repairs be reported to the City
Building/Maintenance department: eavesdrops need to be cleaned out because they are plugged
around the building and where the water has been overflowing along the building there is now
wood rot and mold; there are roof tiles that need to be fixed that have created slow leaks inside
of the building; the outside spigot along the south entrance should be fixed before it freezes and
pipes burst; that an insulated box of some sort be placed around the mail slot because debris,
October 26, 2011 Page 2
drafts and small critters are able to enter through the slot; patching on the gutter drainage along
the east side of the building has gave way and is now leaking all along the side of the building;
some of the storm windows can not be closed because the interior window weights, etc. have
broken off so they are not able to open; to look into the possibility of the exterior wood being
replaced with vinyl below the eavesdrops and along the window trimmings to eliminate
continued paint peeling and wood rot. Photos of the requested repairs would be taken after the
meeting has adjourned to turn in with the repair request. After discussion it was the consensus of
the commission that the Building/Maintenance department be contacted regarding the necessary
repairs.
Mr. Hastings stated that there is a walkathon and a 5K run set to take place on the grounds on
November 5, 2011. The 5K is set for registration in the upper level while the walkathon is set
for registration in the lower level.
Education/Historical—Randall Miller reported that the handouts for Veteran's Day event are set
to print. If the commission has any other information to include on the handout he needed the
information to report before they make it to final print. Mr. Miller requested that the City
Management Information System (MIS) department be contacted to see about the possibility of
getting internet service at the building. Mr. Miller indicated that he would like an event calendar
sent with each months mailing as a reminder to the members of events taking place on the
grounds. This could be done on the backside of the agendas as this month has been done. After
discussion it was the consensus of the commission that the MIS department be contacted
regarding possible internet service at the hall and an event calendar to be included in the packets.
