11. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS
H. Rue — Thank you for doing all of this stuff, I appreciate it.
M. Dolph -I think we are on the right track with budget prep, having these little tidbits to massage
and digest before we put it all on paper, I think we will be quite successful doing it this way.
C. Walton — I agree with Mike, just keep plugging away at it, get some of these numbers out in
advance so that we are not trying to scramble and shuffle things at the end.
A. Griffin — I spoke to the KIB Mayor; he is supportive of at least bringing forward the idea of
FPA#I borrowing money from the Borough for building improvements. Discussion ensued.
R. Carstens — The interesting thing about our budget is based on what is happening with
borough, school district and sucli, we are really fortunate, we are fortunate to have a reasonable
budget that we have monies that we can work with and complete projects that we have coming
up. I think it is dependent on us to get the best deal that we can for the bucks and move carefully.
P. VanDyke- Thank you Justin for your presentation, you have the full support of the Board.
