Nevco in the amount of$ 52, 000. Jeff Peters, Recreation/ Cultural Services Director, advised that 12 scoreboards are needed for the new Recreation Complex and that six of the scoreboards already have sponsors including Gulf Power, Cox Communications, P. S. Gifts ( 2), Conerly, Bowman & Dykes and Wyndham Garden Hotel, and that Staff anticipates sponsorship for all of the scoreboards.
