MINUTES MARATHON COMMUNITY THEATER

February 28, 2006

Meeting called to order by President Rita Irwin at 6:00 PM. Present were Vice Presidents Ann Hart, Laura Hutt, Treasurer Gail Burnett, Secretary Fred Hundhammer, Directors Suzanne Turpin, Christine Leird, Ginger Michael, Jorg Gobel by proxy.

The first order of business was a presentation by Jay Mott from Premier Roofing regarding the repair of the roof. He discussed a contract to complete the roofing which was temporary covered by Victor in November. The price was $45,744.45. He further suggested we consider a different product, a TPO fleece backed, permanent adhesive roll of plastic/rubber with a 30 year warranty which does not need to be coated ever. The price was to be the same, and his company would prepare the surface without additional charge. A motion was carried to Use the TPO product for an amount not to exceed $46,000. Fred agreed to ask a Miami roofer/consultant for an opinion before we signed the contract.
