Finance & Budget – No report available
Staebell asked if the trustees had any interest for a follow-up work session since the August work session. There was discussion about having another meeting in the spring. Staebell noted that he reached out to one of the leaders of Project Aware and they may be available after the first of the year so that the Board can present them with the check of $15,000 that was approved last month. He noted that he is working on gathering road association and neighborhood contacts and is missing a few of them. He requested information from the other trustees regarding contacts. He will use those contacts to see if they have interest in contributing to Project Aware as well.
