He will discuss plan with Robert and Cody.
Courtyard – Ryan Tooke Dahl Memorial CEO, he has donations to pay for the landscape and volunteers to help plant greenery and maintain the area. Robert invited the commissioners to visit the job site so that they can lay out the concrete design before the concrete crew arrives Tuesday.
Scull will send an RFI to Slate for the addition of a door between room 1228 and 1229 for Public Health Department. They will provide a cost update for the County as soon as they review the changes.
