Mark presented the bid schedule.
Bidding – We discussed bidding process and having a clear bottom line and as to who will be awarded the bid.

Woven wire only comes in 4 or 8ft
Welded wire comes in 6 foot roll.- this fence does not stretch as well.
“No climb” horse fence is an alternative
5 foot chain link is a possibility as well (6ft 10-12 /linear foot)

We discussed the limestone locations under fence and at entrances.

DNR gave us permit without needing a tracking pad at entrance of driveway which reduce the mud tracked out on the road.

Signs for handicap stalls and internal signs (rules)- will be supplied by committee.
The committee will focus on these details, while we are waiting for grass to grow. 

We will look for possible sources for “fill”.

We discussed the concerns about seeding and watering during summer. 
Bluegrass needs to grow under 91 degrees.  
Mark will meet with Lizer next week to discuss the best route for growth. 
Temporary grasses vs. permanent.
