Visitors: Skate Park-Troy Evans- received a call from a friend from Lewistown who thinks a skate park in Roundup is a good idea. Mr. Evans introduced Jason Stevens of Make It Happen Montana, a Non-Profit organization. He works closely with a construction company for this type of project. Mr. Stevens along with Mr. Evans, looked at possible locations. Toombs and Fisher will get opinions of homeowners near the possible locations. Size of skate park depends on fund raising goal. Maintaining would be minimal according to Mr. Stevens. Hours of skate park are usually Dusk to Dawn. Mr. Evans suggested there be a Committee formed and he would be happy to help and/or head the committee. Mayor Jones will reach out to Chad Sealey and some of the churches. Council thinks it’s a great idea.
