<br />Mayor Craddock called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
<br />
<br />Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of the minutes
<br />of the Regular Meeting held October 18, 1982. Mrs. Norris moved to
<br />approve the minutes and Mr. Farr seconded the motion, which passed
<br />unanimously.
<br />
<br />Mayor Craddock moved Item #10 on the Agenda, "Receive a presentation
<br />from the San Marcos Softball Association," and Item #11 on the Agenda,
<br />"Consider approval of a 4-plex softball field proposal" forward for
<br />consideration because there were many interested citizens present
<br />for these items. Members of the San Marcos Softball Association
<br />made a presentation~ to the Council. Jerry Sebek stated he thought
<br />the City should own and control their own softball complex. Johnny
<br />Pearce reviewed with the Council plans for a complex. It was esti-
<br />mated a 4-plex softball field would cost approximately $135,000 to
<br />construct. It was discussed that we pursue to obtain a grant with
<br />the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in the amount of $45,000
<br />with the Softball Association matching these funds. The Softball
<br />Association estimates the complex will cost $135,000 and want the
<br />City to participate in 50% of all funds necessary above $90,000.
<br />It was further discussed that the Softball Association in the future
<br />would like to consider an 8-plex softball field so that the City
<br />would have an opportunity to draw more tournaments to our area. A
<br />commitment letter from State Bank and Trust Company is attached to
<br />these minutes extending credit to the Softball Association for the
<br />specific purpose of constructing a softball complex at the parkland
<br />adjacent to Gary Job Corps Center.
<br />
<br />Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of a 4-plex soft-
<br />ball field proposal. Jim Neuhaus of Jim's Gym addressed the Council,
<br />as the only proposal that was submitted to the City for a softball
<br />complex. He stated the Softball Association was a good organization
<br />and could construct fields at a lower cost. Mr. Neuhaus would like
<br />to construct a softball complex in his athletic complex at some time.
<br />He would own the softball fields which might be considered a drawback
<br />to the City. He felt that the relationship of a municipal government
<br />and a private business could work very successfully though. Johnny
<br />Finch of Jim's Gym added the importance of building a quality complex
