Respectfully Submitted,
S. Ellis
The committee discussed various outstanding RFPs that Denise has received, and how they should be handled in the context of the new procurement policy. We discussed the fact that the repairs in question should come under the scope of the capital campaign with its fundraising 500k goal. WE also decided that RFPs still need to be approved and the oversight still needs to take place even though the capital campaign has been vetted by the Board
In order to proceed, the committee needs a detailed list of outstanding maintenance projects, in order of priority and including cost estimates. We'll advise further after that
