11.
A discussion
of the repair cost of the bleachers at JBP took place. Dave Davisson estimated the repairs to be
about $80,000. The bleachers are 36
years old and were only made as temporary bleachers. The cost of labor and maintenance to the
bleachers will cost the same if not more to repair versus buying new matching
bleachers like we bought last meeting.
Rollie Sessions commented that being they are used and stored outside
the constant repair is costly. The old
bleachers seat 300 people and the new bleachers will seat 234, plus the seating
of the smaller bleachers that are down there donated by the Lion’s Club.
