Superintendent - Josh Sumrall
Discussion:
Mr. Sumrall applied for a $25,000 grant for local beef. We put it out to bids for local farmers and we had 5 bid on it. We also had some local people call and find out how to get on that vendor list for next time. We awarded the bid to Native Acres. $7.50 a pound. There was one lower bid at $7 a pound but it was out of Minco but we could award to our local people. It is a little over 3,000 pounds of beef.
