PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

RECOGNITION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS

Mark Lundberg, OASIS President, and Tom Aldridge, OHS Athletic Director, informed the board that they have met with a very experienced consultant who builds sport complexes. Their intention is to have the consultant do a presentation on upgrading Harrison Stadium at an April board meeting. They expect that seeing the plans will generate enthusiasm for the project. The cost for the plan is $5000 and is being funded by the PTSA Athletic Committee. Dave Bruce asked about the possibility of applying for grants. Tom Aldridge stated that the possibility of receiving grants will be much higher if a bond is passed as grant agencies want to make sure that a project is going to be completed instead of having a district hold onto the funds for years. The plans will be useful later on if we are unable to go for a bond this year. Dave Bruce suggested inviting representatives from the City of Oroville, Feather River Recreation & Park District, Oroville Rhinos and other appropriate agencies to the board presentation.
