·         Rec District Update
o   We have been waiting to do some work at the fields but the weather has prevented us from much of anything. Scoreboards are working, thanks to Jay Meyer, Jim Woods, Harlan Zenner and Todd Dahmen.  We're hoping to get a potable water line to be installed at the softball field area so there is drinkable water available. Just waiting a lot on the weather.
