1. Pallet racking

3. Building Plan
4. Keeping, or selling the Athletic Storage?

We met to discuss the list provided. After discussion, we will plan to look for pallet racking for the white storage building. We will also look to purchase the Hydro seeder. The group reviewed the plan and would like to get bids for the foot print for a 30x40 building for concession stand restroom. They also thought it would be good to keep the current storage building and find a place to move it and keep it for dry storage, possibly to the south-east corner.
