Building and Grounds

Ron asked how closing on Newton property was progressing. GHA will go ahead with alarm system. The grant did not get completed by deadline. GHA has asked the board to share the cost of the alarm system with them. Two estimates have been received. Alarm Tech of Interlaken and Wm Clink dba Allantic Co. Ron suggested the board pay 1/2 of the cost, which is estimated to be $1,800.00 to $2,100.00. Ron will call Atlantic Systems to verify the quote GHA was given on 6/12/00 is still the same.

Motion by Fessenden to table the consideration of the board's contribution to the alarm system for the GHA building.
