- Mike will submit his entire spreadsheet for Vehicles & Equipment to the committee for review.

Mike felt strongly that there was no need for a new building, and had some definite ideas about a restructured roof and insulation. He was asked to pull together a ballpark number for building improvements.

#7. The meeting adjourned at 1:15 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
