New Business
Town hall plans: It was brought up to change the doors on storage area to accordion style
doors. This would allow this space to be used for storage as well as a place for a band to set
up. Travis called wanting to do cathedral ceilings with spiral duct work with no change in the
cost because Hoholiks are concerned about having space issues with a flat ceiling and it will
be more difficult for the mechanical work. He is also going to add a header and doors on the
right side and stay within budget. Motion C. Watchorn Support B. Landis AIF M/C
