The Taylorville Park Board of Trustees discussed updates with Ameren, talked about security improvements, and revisited previous matters. They started by approving minutes and the treasurer's report.

They also had two visitors. James A. Morris from Benton & Associates, an engineer with the City of Taylorville, and a representative from Ameren spoke about a construction project near Manners Park. Morris stressed the need to move a water main to park property near Webster St for this project. The Board agreed pending attorney approval.

Todd Altman, the owner of Altman Monitoring Solutions, then presented a plan to update the park's security system.

Altman showed different equipment to enhance park security. The Board saw the need for better security around the pool and the maintenance shed due to missing equipment. The new equipment combines video and sensors to reduce false alarms. The cost was around $20,000, and the Board unanimously approved it.

Recreation Director Bailey Hancock reported on the conclusion of the day camp, the end of the pool season, and the successful "Paws in the Pool" event.

The Board also finished the necessary work for the OSLAD grant.

The next meeting is set for September 25th.
