  5. Proposed Building Inspection
    The building inspector has made the preliminary inspection of the Meridian building and so far everything is according to code. The seller has been working on the roof, which is nearly finished. There was discussion about the design of the roof ‘s closure at the front currently being completed by the seller of the building. The BOD felt that the seller’s design of the front might detract from the value and esthetics of the building.

Jan asked for an oversight committee made up of members of the BOD to approve some of the minor construction decisions once the purchase of the building is complete. Motion: Jack Moore.
