Capital Budget Additions

G. LeFave made a motion to add the outdoor classroom/gazebo and middle school area fencing to the capital budget with the understanding that the Foundation will be allocating $80k of funds including a $10k grant to fund these capital projects.
D. Mitchell seconded the motion.

In addition to the $10k grant that was provided to build a gazebo, Gary discussed that the funds the foundation are allocating to these two projects were reallocated from the unused portion of $100k that was set aside for ponds dredging and drainage.  

 

Joey discussed & answered questions on timing of projects, potential contribution of labor & materials from a community member, & potential ability to utilize any excess Foundation funds for other projects if these two projects are completed for less than $80k. 

The committee VOTED to approve the motion.
