BOARD OF HONOR



March 12, 2004



?Telephone Vote Tabulation?



A request to name Pioneer Little League Field Number One within Britt

David Park was presented by Councilor Henderson on behalf of the Pioneer Little

League Association to the members of Council at their March 2, 2004 night

meeting.



The request was to be forwarded to the Board of Honor members for their

consideration. It was necessary to hold a meeting for the Board of Honor

members prior to the March 9, 2004 Council Meeting.



The members were contacted by telephone on March 4, 2004 to consider an

appropriate date and time. There was no consensus regarding an available date

to achieve a quorum before the March 9, 2004 Council Meeting.



It was suggested that a telephone survey be conducted to confirm the

recommendation of the board members as a whole. There were Board of Honor

members that wanted to be provided with additional information regarding Lamar

?Trey? Pruitt, III, before a decision could be made. Letters were sent to the

Board of Honor members with information on Lamar ?Trey? Pruitt, III and to

advise them that a telephone survey of votes would take the place of an actual

meeting in this situation and that each member would be contacted by the Clerk

of Council?s Office to register their vote in support or disapproval of naming

the field in memory of Lamar ?Trey? Pruitt, III.



Members were contacted on March 12, 2004 and asked if they would be in

favor or oppose the request to name Pioneer Little League Field Number One

within Britt David Park in memory of Lamar ?Trey? Pruitt, III. The results of

the vote tabulation are as follows:



Mr. Billy Watson: Favor



Mr. Philip Batastini: Favor



Mr. Bob Hydrick: Favor



Mr. John E. Wells: He wanted to make certain that the request to name the

field in memory of Lamar ?Trey? Pruitt, III came from the Pioneer Little League

Association, and if this was the case; then, he would be in support of the

request. Once Mr. Wells was advised that the request was from the Pioneer

Little League Association, he was in favor.



Milton Hirsch: Favor.



Jack Mickle: Mr. Mickle was not contacted, once the Clerk?s Office gained

knowledge that he was no longer a resident of Muscogee County.



Mr. Clay Land: Mr. Land was not contacted as well.



The call to order of an official meeting would have recognized the five

members, who had cast a vote, to be considered a quorum of the Board of Honor

Members. With this statement being true to fact, it has be determined that the

Board of Honor is submitting a recommendation in favor of the request to name

Pioneer Little League Field Number One in memory of Lamar ?Trey? Pruitt, III.
