September 21, 2026
Present: Cleone King, Cindy Wendland, Chris Newman, Shelly Koenigsfeld, Terri Sargent, and Charlie Newman
Absent: Natasha Stewart
Note: The Floyd City Council at the meeting on September 15, 2026 appointed the above individuals to serve on the re-established Community Center Board. Mayor Charlie Newman is a non-voting member and serves as the recording secretary. The City Council has authorized the Community Center Board by ordinance, giving further definition to the purpose of the board itself. Whatever we do, we will continue to move forward with caution, fiscal responsibility and common sense.
Meeting was called to order at 6:28 pm by Cleone King. The agenda was approved 5-0 all in favor by a motion (Shelly/Terri) The first item of business was to elect a chairman and vice chairman of the reinstated Community Center Board. Nominations were received for Cleone King as Chairman and Cindy Wendland as Vice Chairman. These officers were approved 5-0 by a motion (Terri/Shelly) Meeting times were discussed. The group decided to meet monthly initially on the Monday before the City Council meeting. The meeting will be held at the Community Center at 6:15 pm. Priorities and goals for the group was discussed. Fund raising ideas were tossed around. The grant window for the Floyd County Community Foundation is currently open till October 15, 2026. It could be possible to submit a small grant request for a painting project to brighten up the gym. We would need some estimated costs and volunteer help. Promoting our gym as an asset was also discussed. Indoor pickleball could be a possibility. Monthly movie nights, craft shows, etc. We also brought up the possibility of establishing a “Friends of Floyd” as an official non-profit that could help fund community center improvements as well as other community needs. It would provide a way for people with an interest in Floyd to give tax deductible contributions to the community. Terri Sargent is going to investigate how Rudd runs and funds their Community Center and report back to the board. She is also going to ask Todd Pritchard about the possibilities of renaming the “Floyd Pullers” non-profit group to the Friends of Floyd. If that is not a possibility, she will find out what we need to do to form a new group. Projects identified and discussed were the need to update our restrooms, the community center air conditioners are really old, and the parking lot is deteriorating. We are pursuing some recommendations from some plumbing professionals on the bathroom situation. The group was presented other documents to review before the next meeting including financial statements, rental agreements and janitor contracts. Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 pm.
