Building and Grounds

Reker Landscaping has been out working on our land scaping. They have complete a lot of work on the front of the building. Jess has spoken with them about monthly/weekly upkeep. 

The front door is missing the weather striping. ACE may have the material. ess will check into the replacement of weather stipping and who could do the work.  Glenn Riddle was our handyman, Jess will ask him for a recommendation as he is partially retired. Brenten Fairchild has picked up some jobs, so he may be a possibility.

Long Range Planning

The automatic door has been updated. The program room and pony wall behind the desk will get painted after the completion of the summer reading program.  All other projects are still in discussion. The furniture we currently have with only the 4 computers, spacing is much better. With prices, we are not in a rush to update furniture and current table is working with the lower number of computers. Spacing no longer seems to be an issue.
