4.3. Discuss competition gym project, receive comment, and discuss date for a possible public meeting on the topic

Mr. Meyerle discussed the conversation he had with Ms. Husman about a FFA greenhouse and an FFA garden.  The Board will consider the projects as more information becomes available.

The Board discussed holding a public meeting in November to discuss the possible competitive gym project, review possibilities and cost/payment options, and give patrons the chance to ask questions.  The Board would then decide if they would proceed or not.

Should the Board consider the project, the consensus of the Board is to build in the east parking of the HS. This would require the acquisition of about 10ft x 150ft to the north. The Board would be interested in the possibility of attaching such a project to the existing building with a walkway, which would close the east drive.
