KREEC

There are two estimates for reforesting and putting in trails on the West side. The only difference is option 2 includes fertilizing. There would be 800 trees per acre. Herbicide in the fall and plant next year. Trees would be planted wavy and trail would be planned before so trees would not be put there. There is an opportunity to share up to 50% of the cost but it is not a guarantee.

Will continue planning and discussions on appropriate location for RV Park.

Motion Dybvig, second Gregg to approve a contract with Mud Creek Enterprises for option 2. Motion carried 5-0.
