The Taylorville Park Board met on Monday evening to discuss business, review ordinance, and go over committee reports. The Board heard from Evan Mitchell with the Skateboard Park.  Mitchell says everything is ready for the pouring of the concrete.  The project is a $35,000 project, however, thanks to multiple donations, the 50x100 slab is ready to be prepared and poured.  Mitchell gave a formal proposal for the 100 ft park to run north and south.  

The goal is to move on to the next steps including creating a GoFundMe, establishing a fundraising committee to reach the community of Taylorville and nearby villages, and raising money for the next step of the Skateboard Park which is adding the fixtures. 

The board then discussed a new roof on the storage building at the Park Entrance and Palmer Street.  After much discussion of bids, which varied greatly in price, the board decided to table the decision to do a little more research on warranty information and agreed to discuss it again at the next meeting. 

Recreational Director Bailey Hancock gave her regular update and let the board know that COVID numbers have been down quite a bit in the county, it has allowed the Recreational Department to get back into the swing of things with a flurry of activities.

The Park is still looking for summer help.

The next Park Board meeting is set for April 25th.
