Call to Order: Chairman Lisa Walker will preside <br />2. Introduction of Guests <br />3. Approval of Minutes <br />4. Approval of Financials for August 2018 <br />5. New Business: <br />A. Action Item: Vote to approve funding to add lighting to Field #7 at the City of Paris <br />Sports Complex next to Love Civic Center. This will help to attract and support <br />more and larger tournaments, many of which would attract out of town teams and <br />their supporters. Previous cost quotes have ranged from $150,000 to $200,000. <br />However, a recent partnership between Musco (a national lighting company) and <br />Hargis Electric offers us a chance to get the lights put in place for approximately <br />$80,000. <br />Approval is for $40,000 from VCC. This will be divided over a period of 3 years. <br />B. Funding Request from Main Trading Company for Ham Radio Day, October 13tH, <br />2018 <br />C.
