4. Other Business
1. Electricity Charges. The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) installed a pitched roof on their building this spring.
CAP will receive a credit for electricity charges up to the full amount of their cost for the roof to be
installed. CAP needs to provide us with a material listing and cost. Olson will be attending the July
