II. Items for Board Approval

A.

Item for Special Consideration

Ted Duncan explains that when Lee and Joel were still on the board we were waiting on the BABA (Build Back America) confirmation from Cooper as determined by USDA. Cooper has been in touch about updating these plans for $25,000. Cooper needs to update what is called a PAR (Preliminary Architecture Report) in order to move forward with possible USDA approval. There is no guarantee that we will get approved even if we move through this process. There are concerns from the board on the total cost but with current rates, going out of the USDA could become very costly. The board would like to table the item and for Ted go back to Cooper to get an explanation on the roughly $25,000 cost estimate.
