1. Design Committee
Dave Shaffer provided a verbal update on the design committee.
Design ideas are currently on hold due to the drop in revenue, they will be revisited as
soon as there is an increase in revenue. There are, however, funds available for more
murals but that is currently on hold due to the weather.
The welcome sign for the Westside is permanently on hold, the quote received for the
project is $750,000. This makes it too expensive a project for the board.
