I appreciate your consideration of these requests and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Sincerely — Jill Scheffer Proposed Projects 1. Paver installation in the courtyard a. Cost for paver installation in the courtyard between Teanaway Hall and Umtanum Hall is estimated at $13,000 (labor and materials). 2. LED Display Sign for University Way Tower a. An LED sign, to replace our traditional lettered sign, will allow KVEC staff to quickly and easily change the board for upcoming events and to better inform the public about activities at the event center. b. During inclement weather it is difficult to access and change the sign and grounds staff are finding it challenging to find time to update the sign. An LED sign would allow indoor staff to update it on a regular basis. c. Cost ranges from $4,000-$10,000 depending on size and pixel clarity. An example is attached. 3. Water bottle refill stations a. KVEC was able to secure a $22,500 grant to purchase new sinks for the Grandstands bathrooms and the #1 bathrooms. In addition, we repaired all asphalt problem areas on the grounds and replaced plywood in the rodeo arena with the grant funds. b. Though the grant did not require match, we thought it might be a nice supporting project for Friends of Fair to purchase 2 or 3 drinking fountains for the grounds. c. Outdoor mounted water bottle refill stations are about $2,000 each. Indoor mounted water bottle refill and water fountains are about $1,000 each. Some examples are attached. 4. Refreshing of fair murals on Bloom Pavilion a. We hired a couple of local artists to peel off the old varnish and apply a new coat of protective paint. b. The cost for time and supplies was $600. The invoice is attached. 5. Authorization to apply for grants for projects a. I have special expertise in grants researching and grant writing and have a fairly good track record of success. However, KVEC is not a 501 (c) 3, so in order to apply for grant funding from private foundations I would need to do so under the Friends of Fair non- profit status. b. If I bring opportunities to the board in advance and secure approval, would this be acceptable? 6. Purchase of additional bleachers a. Towable bleachers with railings range in cost from $2,000-$8,000 depending on size and features. Some examples are attached. b. I still need to hear from Jerry/Clay (?) about how many and what size bleachers are needed before getting final costs. 6/28/2017 WLCF livestock auction sale totals over $112,000 - Raises an additional $12,000 for livestock facility fund Wednesday, June 28, 2017, 3:17 PM 216 W.
