Motion: to select builder, roof work to be done, and authorize signing of contract
- Will most likely need to raise another $40,000 to cover the delta in roof cost between what insurance paid and the highest bid.
- Should be starting a ‘Raise The Roof’ campaign in the next month since it may be some time in September before 2 of the builders might be able to start on the roof, and August for the 3rd builder.
