vandalism. He suggests that a lock box be installed on this building. It will cost
about $500 to install this system.
Larry Rich made a motion, seconded by Shirley Akagi that we ask the city council to
appropriate money to install a lock box system on the cart storage shed at Fairview.
The motion passed unanimously.
Brad Stanley, a purple Sage employee, bought a season pass in February from Lenny.
Since he is now a city employee, he requested a refund which the board approved.
Lenny was asked to handle the refund.

downtown Fairview course in Caldwell.
