The Taylorville Park District Board of Trustees held their October meeting Monday evening at the Manner's Park Dining Hall. The board approved minutes, the Treasurer's Report, and went over New and Old Business.

Under New Business, the board members heard from two guests. First, Lake Shore Golf Course manager Jason Boldig requested funds to repair the bunkers. He says he's requesting the funds for an excavator. The golf course will handle the rest.

Ameren Representative Nicole Shoemaker requested construction contractor ERN perform work about 80 feet into park property. Shoemaker says this will not cost the park district money, and work won't start until March 2023. 

Then, the board approved Mary Ann Becker as the Taylorville Park District IMRF Authorized Agent and Office Administrator and Board Secretary. 

Recreational Director Bailey Hancock provided her update. She says fundraising for the Skateboard Park committee is going well. 

Hancock also went over the Christmas in the Park schedule with nearly two weeks worth of events plus all the light displays. 

Hancock says that Burbatch Aquatics must receive the language for the Manner's Park Pool referendum by January. 

The board approved a motion to approve Burbatch to assist with the referendum and fundraising.
