Mr. Throckmorton asked Dr. Walker about the parking lot and the need for
same.
Dr. Walker stated that he felt the parking lot was needed for those
individuals that would be practicing as well as the public to park rather
than have them parking on the fields and along the highway.
Mr. Orndoff asked if there was a rock clause in the contract.
Dr. Walker replied no.
Mr. Stiles asked if the Board would be receiving a bill from Mr.
Stratton for this project.
Dr. Walker replied no.
Mr. Rhodes questioned spending the extra money for a project manager.
Dr. Walker stated that the School system did not have anyone qualified
to do this.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he did not feel that the Board had committed
themselves to a stadium and that the School Board should look at outdoor
physical education facilities only.
Dr. Walker stated that all of this was for outdoor physical education
to be used, not only by the Schools, but also Parks and Recreation, regard-
less of whether they ever have a stadium.
Mr. Orndoff questioned the need for the roads and parking lots.
Mr. Riley questioned the storm water and run -off water that would be
created by this project and if this had been addressed.
Dr. Walker replied that the Engineer has considered all of this.

on a site plan basis.

forward funds from last year's School budget and that the balance needed for

Kenneth Y. Stiles, Will L. Owings, Robert M. Rhodes, Rhoda W. Maddox and
Thomas B. Throckmorton. Nay - C. William Orndoff, Jr.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he was not satisfied with this request as he
felt it was too much and with all the other expenses the County knows at
this point that they are committed to, such as insurance and the fact that
revenue sharing income may he lost, that he felt this was just too much
money for the Board to commit to this project.
Mr. Riley stated at this point the Capital Improvements Projects
Committee has discussed only the outdoor facilities and not the stadium.
Mr. Stiles stated that the School Board needed to renew this plan with
the Capital Improvements Projects Committee when they feel the time is
appropriate.
