2016 Thanks for Giving Race Update: (Thank you report reviewed)
Race went well, a slight drop off from last year but the forecasted weather might have played a role in
that. Next year we have to plan on the race without Cunningham Bridge. We are still waiting on a few
sponsor checks to come in to do a final budget.
2017 Summer Discussion:
Based on a review of the 2016 numbers and the planned 1/1/2017 pay hike, the departments does not
foresee any changes to the registration for the 2017 summer program. We do plan to hire a nurse but
some one-time charges will be off the books to clear budget money for the hire.
Ted will get to the board the official 2016 budget and 2017 anticipated budget by the end of the week.
