6.2. Consideration of Bleacher/Floor Project.
Rationale:
Executive Summary:
The Buildings and Grounds committee has meet since the January Board Meeting. After information and proposals from the committee, the board needs to make a decision to proceed or decline to proceed with the project. It is my opinion that if the plan is to move forward we need to accept one of the bids and get the company on the calendar. I know there will be some finer details that need to be worked out as the project matures, but I believe that these can be address through the committee.
