He stated he spoke with all five other applicants and felt Mr. Hollenshead is the best candidate. Speaking to the council, the Mayor stated they have his resume in front of them and asked if they had any questions for him. Mrs. Perry asked how he would benefit the board. Mr. Hollenshead replied that he had the time and skills to give back to a park. He explained that he had enjoyed the park and its facilities since he was a teen. Now he was at a point in his life where he wanted to give back to his community. He saw the opening on the board and applied. Mrs. Carr told him she read his “impressive” resume and asked him to tell her, in his words, not in resume format, what would make him a good fit or choice. Mr. Hollenshead reiterated his answer to Mrs. Perry and added that he wanted the things he had enjoyed since the lake opened to continue to do well. He added he was on other boards, had a unique skill set, and the time to give back now. Mrs. Carr asked what would make him more qualified to be the town’s pick? Mr. Hollenshead’s response was, “You know, something that I would like to see out there is more local people using the park. If you ask what I see when I go to the park, I think it’s an untapped resource that maybe a lot of my neighbors, maybe your neighbors, don’t use. So, if I had one thing that I would like to see is maybe attendance go up at the park, more cars going through the gate, more children using the park, more families. And you know, that opportunity’s there now. That would be one of my goals. Good utilization.” Attorney Murphy asked if he sat on any other boards currently? Mr. Hollenshead: Yes, the David Rains Community Health Board as previous vice chair and new chairman-elect, and the Louisiana Minerals and Energy Board appointed by the Governor. A motion was made by Alderman Carr and seconded by Alderman Lawrence to consider Mr. Hollenshead for Cypress Black Bayou Board appointment. Mayor Friday called for any other comments. Rex Moncrief stepped forward, remarking, “Since we’ve got a couple of board members here and one potential board member here, and we kind of have a captive audience, I would like to ask the Town of Benton to use your political sway to the board to get rid of the butt ugly boat stickers that we have to put on our boat to go out there. There is a far better way to do this, and it’s not required to put that ugly sticker on the side of my boat. And number two, There’s a much easier way; it’s called the internet and online commerce to actually be able to pay for said boat stickers that should go away without having to go by the office before 5 pm when they close down. That’s my comment”.
