Mary then presented the proposed budget FY22/23 to the board after meeting with the budget committee. Elaine MIskell asked for an explanation of why monies were included in the budget for repaving parking lots, especially since the south lot was fairly new. Jim explained that both
lots were cracked, that maintaining them was key to their longevity, and that it was not repaving as stated in the budget but sealing. The budget was approved by the board with a motion from
Bill Slider which was seconded by Jim Koonce.
The motion to adjourn was made by Bill Slider and seconded by Sheri Hunter. The board approved.
