1. Starting block budget proposal of contributions

  • Proposal of approximately $30,000 for blocks and installation based on previous discussions and bids.

  • Breakdown of proposed contributions:

    • Boys’ swim team $2,500

    • Girls’ swim team $2,500

    • Wavemakers $10,000

      • Totaling $15,000 contributions from aquatics teams


  • District match $15,000 this contribution is going to be proposed to the school district in the near future with hopes of their generous contribution.

    • Grand Total $30,000


ACTION: The above proposal was voted upon based on the generous and collaborative contributions of the organizations listed. The cost of the starting blocks is a conservative approximation and possible unexpected costs during installation are not included in the proposal. If any of the above organizations’ budget proposals are decreased in any way requiring an increase from another organization, this budget proposal will be null and void and a new budget proposal will need to be voted upon. If additional funds or additional organizations make any additional contributions and the current proposed budget is reduced for the organizations listed above due to outside sources than the budget voted upon will remain current.

VOTE: Vote was proposed and passed unanimously.
