July Meeting Minutes
Paul reported that we are still working with Systech on the website rebuild and we should hopefully have more information by the end of the week.
June Meeting Minutes
Paul stated that we are negotiating the project
to get it under the $750K budget. So far, we have deleted the parts room, mechanics pit, and all
the windows. If we don’t insulate the building, we will make it under budget. This is a work in
progress. We may end up terminating the award and re-bid the project as a worst-case scenario.

. Paul said that it was a
really good experience and we have already taken care of most of the findings.

the motion. All in favor. Motion carried.
