MARSHALLTOWN FIELDS 1. Need to spread seed ASAP; there are five bags of fescue/bermuda mix seed in the trailer. 2. Top soil was not stolen; Wayne stated that topsoil was respread last year. 3. Lance's father may allow us to use his grater to groove the fields before we lay seed; Amy has left message with Lance for him to contact her with this info. 4. If we can't use Lance4's father's grater, we can rent one from Hug and Hall for approx. $40.00 per day. Contact Wayne if needed for further info. 5. Ned to get some hay to lay over the seed to maximize irrigation. 6. Field Manager for the City of Fayetteville is Terry. The City of Fayetteville does their own fieldwork and has opted NOT to assist FDA with fieldwork as we have been unable to get the ball rolling in the past and they have a full plate of fieldwork already. The City uses BASIC CONSTRUCTION for major construction-type work. We will need to contact Mr. Pennio before doing any major construction. 7. GERTIE: Wayne started it last year; it ran then. Wayne has the key to the lock. The fuel filter was stolen and there is no battery. It must have these things to work, not necessarily to sell. Most persons will want to get it to work before they buy it. We can put another add in the Starr Shopper. Sell for $500.00 OBO. Parts needed for Gertie: 350 Chevy short block fuel filter and car battery. We will keep the pipe. 8. We may want to contact the person we bought Gertie from to see if he knows anymore who would want to buy it. His name is in records that Wendy has. 9. Scott Letts will phone U of A grad program to see if any grad students would want to help with our fields project. Beth will phone Mandy and/or Rachel. II. NEW BUSINESS A.
