Laverty was asked about comments from Gridiron member, who is also a school board member "nothing had been discussed with board about the football lights". B. Laverty reviewed action taken with the members of both organizations. He has a copy of the letter which had been sent on this matter. They also met with Dr. Boyanowski about the lights. The Gridiron Club gave $100.000.00 for the lights, agreed to pay light bills for three years after lights in operation. Then when Club asked for breakdown for when bills covered football games as opposed to other use, there was a problem supposedly. The Coal Festival does not use the lights which was pointed out. B. Laverty reported letters were directed to Dr. Boyanowski and J. Rakoski who would, Laverty stated, pass them on to the board. J. Bogaczyk advised Laverty that if anything is going to be done, he suggests it be done now. The School Board has decided to give $20,000 towards the bleacher project. Their hesitation to pay the "use" figure, needs to be resolved before anymore use by the district is made. This matter could affect the bleacher project, also.
