The Taylorville Park Board met on Monday evening to discuss business, pay bills, and hear from various committees at their monthly meeting for March at Manners Park. 

The board heard from Robert Brown, head tennis coach at Taylorville High School.  The board approved creating an account for the team for using park tennis courts for practices.  This comes after the removal of courts at the high school several years ago to use for additional parking.  The board approved of the new account. 

The board voted to approve Ordinance 13, which is the set of regulations regarding Taylorville’s park system.  The ordinance had previously been enacted, but board members had to vote again as they could not locate it in official city records. 

Maintenance Superintendent Ben Dempsey gave an update on facilities, including the latest on a baseball dugout which recent heavy winds had damaged. 

The board voted to spend the funds needed to repair the dugout. 

Recreational Director Jessica Franks spoke on upcoming summer events.  She says there will be multiple events every weekend in July for people of all ages to enjoy. 

The next park board meeting is set for April 21.
