The Taylorville Park Board met tonight to discuss some new and old business topics.
One of the topics that fell under Old Business, was an update on the Manners Park Pool. According to board member Sherri Anderson Craggs, the Illinois Department of Public Health has returned their permit with the last three issues they wanted addressed. In the meantime, Craggs said the state has given the park board the green light on excavation.
Craggs added that on November 2nd, the bath house contractor will be on site to get things started and that the submittals will be complete for the bath house. It was also mentioned that some equipment is being moved from Mt. Carmel to Taylorville.
The board also heard an update from Midwest Environmental Consultants (MEC), presented by board president Marlane Miller. According to Miller, MEC has been at the park recently taking soil samples for testing. Maintenance Superintendent Ben Dempsey mentioned that it was too early at this time to get a definitive answer.
Keep following along with Hart Media Group for more upcoming details from Monday night’s meeting.
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 17th, at 7 PM, at the Manners Park Dining Hall.
