6.1. Discuss Track Replacement Project
More Information:
Hopefully by Monday night we have some action moving on the track. Omaha paving was planning on working all weekend, as long as the rain cooperates, and they have a goal of pouring the asphalt mid week. I know we need to take rain when we can get it, but we need a little bit of a dry weather streak.

6.2. Discuss Elementary Remodeling/Addition
More Information:
The Building Committee has met a couple of times to discuss options for handling the need of space at the elementary building. We are currently working with CWP on plans for an addition to the north side of the elementary building. The addition will extend from the kindergarten classrooms to the east and fill in the concrete area we have on the north side of the building.
The development of these plans will give us a better feel for cost projections. The other option is to consider more portable buildings. Any additional portables will require the installation of water and sewer. I just do not see this being a viable option at this time.
Discussion:
Mr. Wingard gave an update on the remodeling discussions.
