SIA Minutes October 2, 2006
The meeting was called to order at 6p.m. by Wayne Jones, president.Members present: Wayne Jones, Steve Howard, Amy Blankenship, Sara Smith, Wanda Pate, Ron Dougherty, and Nadine Nicolls. Guest: JoAnn Munghia
Wayne stated there were two issues on the agenda: 1. change the meeting day and time, and 2. the Industrial Park.
The day and time of the SIA Board meetings need to be changed due to schedule conflicts. Thursday nights at 6p.m. was suggested. The new schedule will begin next week with the meeting being on Thursday, October 12, at 6p.m.
The Industrial Park issue was brought before the board. Wayne Jones proposed that there be a committee made up of citizens who are proponents of the Park and those who are opponents of the Park.
Wayne wants to prepare a power point presentation on the status of the Saucier community, highlighting the positive actions of SIA. He would like to work with Steve to produce this and present it to the Board of Supervisors as soon as they can be put on the agenda for a meeting.
Wayne announced that the state of Georgia Department of Parks and Recreation has given SIA a grant worth $3000. This money is to be used to study the recreational needs of the Saucier community. As the chairman of Leisure Services, Pascal Gill would use this money to conduct the study.
Sara Smith and Amy Blankenship will present the final forms of their business plans to the Board on October 12.
Wayne asked permission to go to the county to ask for facilities for a counselor to use. The counselor is being funded through a grant from the Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. However, there is no location available at this time from which to work. The local schools were also mentioned as possible places from which the counselor could work. Wayne will do more research on this. Amy made a motion to have Wayne represent SIA and pursue this idea. Sara seconded the motion, and it passed.
