The Taylorville Park Board met on Tuesday evening to discuss business, go over reports, and hear from guests. The board heard from Pam Moses and Angie Goodall Younker who made a sizeable donation for a new frisbee golf course to be built. David Pistorious with Midstate bank spoke to the board about bonds. The board approved doing a new bond ordinance with Midstate to handle the work.

The board also heard from Lindsay Barry with the Quarter Midget Association and Aaron Durham who was with Men’s softball. Quite a few softballs had made their way over to the track and damaged some vehicles and Barry wanted something to be done. The two sides agreed about fencing and the board approved putting up taller netting to protect the cars and people from getting hit by softballs.

The board approved a bench in memorial for Mike Demichael who recently passed away. The board also agreed to adopt an ordinance to levy necessary taxes for the next fiscal year.
