if it were possible to have an earlier meeting of the Recreation
Advisory Board, because of the summer season and the ball schedule.
Commissioner Madison said the county commissioners need a
recommendation from the Recreation Advisory Board on how they want
to spend the Recreation money.
Chairman Haire asked the Recreation Board Members who were
present, Commissioner Hamby and Godfrey Williams, to meet this week
and get back to the county commissioners as soon as possible.

the board should consider going ahead and appropriating an amount
of money to take care of this problem. She would change her MOTION
to state that the board would agree to appropriate an amount of
money up to $29,000 through a letter of intent, for the
installation of lights at the Harmony ball field, based on the
recommendation that is to be made by the Iredell County Recreation
