Park Board Meets; Talks Lakeshore, Pool, Welcomes New Secretary

The Taylorville Park Board met on Monday evening. Jason Boldig, from Lakeshore Golf Course, was there. He made the board aware of a dead locust tree that needed to be removed due to the close proximity of the clubhouse.  Boldig also said that the Pro shop needs to get new lights and suggested LED lights.

 

 

The Park Board voted to go ahead and allow Boldig to purchase LED lights for the Clubhouse.  The board announced the resignation of Office Administrator MaryAnn Becker and hired Lisa Morillo for the job.  Morillo says she is excited to get to work.

 

Recreational Director, Bailey Hancock gave an update on the pool and is excited to get started. There are 4 engineering firms that answered the request for qualifications.  Hancock says she got some very thorough plans, and there is a lot to go through moving forward on a project as big as this for getting a new pool.  The Board agreed to meet with the potential 4 at a later time to go over and ask questions.

 

Hancock says they’ve started to plan Christmas in the Park, but they have back up plans, because of COVID.

 

 

Hancock continued by stressing that it is way early in the planning process and there are still a lot of variables when it comes to planning. They just want to be prepared for anything.

 

The next park board meeting is scheduled for October 26th.
