Notable Quotes (7)
Our overall goal is to have something by the end of the year.
Our goal is to spend around 75,000 or under if they can see efficiencies that we may have within the operation.
what can the council expect for when will we see updates or when will we have to make any decisions or is it at the end of the year when there's a report?
I would say somewhere in October is when you probably will probably schedule a time to visit with council and maybe at that point we can have ISG come and do a little presentation uh before the council at workshop.
I'd like to thank the association for doing this. This is a very nice gift to the city and we appreciate it very much.
I do actively serve on the softball association board and Pete and I personally worked very closely on this project and I'm very happy we pulled it off.
$30,000 bucks is hard to raise.
