Consider Approving Additional Expenditures from Bond Funds

Director Marr suggested that $133,000 be added as Item 4 on the list to reimburse the General Fund for bond expenditures. The Board agreed.
Director Alexander moved that we approve the proposed additional expenditures from bond funds as amended to include item #4 to reimburse the general fund in the amount of $133,000 for bond expenditures? Director Marr seconded and the motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
