2013 Resolution • Our school is continuing to grow and we need to keep the fields up to date and playable. • The Geo Thermal project has opened up a great opportunity for us. One of the fields have been torn up and instead of putting seed back down, we would be able to place artificial turf instead. • We have $300, 000 on the table.

• Because the Geo Thermal project is moving so quickly, we need to make a fairly quick decision so they are able to move forward with the project. • We just found out less than two month ago that we would have the $300, 000 to use toward the fields. That is why we are acting quickly and trying to take advantage of this opportunity.

• We have been trying to find other funding. We have received some donations, and we are continuing to do so. • The students are being asked to pay up to 75% of the funding, just in case we do not receive all of the donations we need.

Which Field will be Affected? • The football field will become turf. The field will then be marked for soccer and football games. • Other students will also be able to utilize the field, just as long as the football or soccer team are not using it. • The IM field by Gale Bullman will also become a turf field. This will be a better playing surface, and will also allow IM teams to use the field even if it has rained.

Frat Row Fields • The Frat Row fields will also be worked on. They will not become turf right now, they will only be leveled out and re-seeded for a better playing surface. • It would cost $3, 000 more for the Frat Row fields to have turf • The projects will be completed by Fall 2014
