Dan Owens requested the following be read into the minutes of the meeting

and for the benefit of attendees of the meeting:

Fellow Board Members:

While we are in the budget season, there are a number of one time projects

vying for approval. Before approving items on a piecemeal basis, we need

to consider a number of factors before proceeding. Currently, we know

about the bleacher conversion, server room alteration, gate camera

proposals, first phase of speeding control, and automatic door for the

Center. These items should be put in a priority order along with any other

projects that committees or others have on the drawing board. Each project

needs a total initial cost plus any ongoing maintenance costs. Each project

needs a request for action which, in some cases, requires a cost/benefit

analysis and other relevant information to judge the worthiness. For

example, the gate camera project should have the expected out-of-pocket

cost of damage costs so an expected payback period can be calculated. Also,

what is the expected likelihood of reimbursement from the violators?

From a budget standpoint, how much of the $115,000 operating reserve

carried into 2006 is still available? How much surplus will we have from

this year's operating budget? How much operating reserve do we want to

carry into 2007? Unless there is a demonstrated urgency, I believe that we

should not approve any more projects until we develop a plan and answer

the appropriate questions. The 2007 budget we just approved has virtually

no operating reserve built in.

All this is intended to stimulate thinking on our part. There are probably

other factors and questions that I have overlooked in this snapshot.

investments.
