Project #2

See attached proposal from IronSite. This will be discussed with the City Council and will wait on direction from them. Will be checking for grants to help fund this project.

Project #3

John Wilson discussed the rhino lining roof with Leighton and he does not think it will stick. We will move forward with what we already have. Tony Alvarez will only charge for the metal and parts, $2137.67. Dee Dee moved that we go ahead and fix the roof with the stipulation that John Wilson check the work when it is done. Second by John, unanimous. The Turbo Twister Pool slide was discussed. Will need Michelle to research for a commercial tunnel slide instead with some kind of warranty.
