Facility Design:

Marc Tanfara is working to identify ways to make the facility useful to seniors

We have been in contact with Supply and Services to determine the extent of the land available, not just for this project but also for possible use in the future (M Shryrer asked about future phases that would add facilities, like a pool or rink).  It is possible we could trade land for future use for support/funds for this project.  Supply and Services have been unable to supply a current plat of the property.  Duane feels he can get one easily.

Incorporation, Financials, and Charitable Status

Bob, Alexis, and Duane to continue discussions

KVHS is incorporated and is a charitable institution with a tax number.  Duane is checking to see that what exists is broad enough to include this project.  Based on what has been done in the past, Bob feels it is.

Duane now has a better idea of why we might want to lease the fields, and will pursue the specifics of what would be required.
