Ellis Allen Report. Ellis announced that two donated boulders have been picked out for placement on the grounds of the new Center. Grounds have been marked where the trees are to be planted. Dig Safe has been notified. Tavares has been notified to meet with Clerk of the Works to coordinate the planting of the donated trees. It will cost$223 to pay for irrigation reservoirs around the newly planted trees. Jim Marr will handle payment from the contingency fund to repay Ellis for the installation of the ditches.
