New Business: 

Fritz Caspar with Carrothers for the pool gave a presentation on different designs for the pool, and talked about how they build the pools. Joe Shields asked if we would be able to have people help with work to cut the price, Fritz said there are things we can do, certain things have to be done to codes and they will have to do those items. Joe would like to set up a public meeting to give everyone the chance to ask questions and look at the designs. We will try to set up a meeting for November 30, 2021 at the Cobblestone meeting room.
