Arboretum issues. Chris reported only one bid was received for the <br />pergola construction, and it was almost double the budgeted amount. <br />He will research alternative, less expensive materials using the same <br />design, and put out another request for bids by late January. <br />Regarding the 501 c(3), it has been submitted to the CO Secretary of State's <br />office, and Chris will check on the status. <br />Regarding the arboretum brick walkway, Chris will review design and <br />construction issues after the pergola is completed, with the goal of having both <br />projects finished by fall of this year. <br /> <br />IX.
