The Taylorville Park Board sat down Monday evening for their regular monthly November meeting inside a Christmas themed Manners Park Dining Hall. All board members for the meeting were present minus its newest member Kelly Bland and Teri Greer. Following approval of minutes from the October’s meeting and the treasurer’s report, new business was on the docket.

Lisa Daykin, a resident of Taylorville looking to extend operating hours of the Don Bragg Sports Complex was heard first. Daykin expressed concern about use of the track after hours with the closure of the parking lot at 6 p.m. nightly. The Taylorville Park Board did not change the current hours citing their own concerns over doing so.

Also in new business was an additional survey proposal from Brent A. Windell regarding the required water lines for the upcoming pool project. At Burbach Aquatics request, the Taylorville Park Board will have the current water line staked out prior to the project being bid out. The Board will not have to do the same work for the sewer lines however like they had potentially thought.

The Taylorville Park Board will see new faces run for existing positions come next April. Three seats will be available for four year terms, with only one seat seeing a vote for a two year term. Those looking to fill the spots include: Roy Manasco, Evan Mitchell, Sherri Craggs, Debbie Gatton, and Blake Heimsnsess.

The Board approved payment of bills and Christmas bonuses of $200 for full-time employees and $100 for part-time employees.

The next Taylorville Park Board meeting will be held on December 23rd.
