Otto's been doing a tremendous job keeping you current and handling funds, I'm writing to give you an idea of what's ahead in terms of making a presentation to the county. Our initial presentation is to the parks advisory board on thursday february 20th at 9:00 am. As of this writing, our proposal is 12 pages long, and is best described as textbook business plan. It includes a one page executive summary, one page introduction, four pages addressing statue construction, including engineering schematics from wayne's engineering firm , additonal pages on projected maintenance requirements and expenses, proposals for Department of Transporation signage, location, and verbage, plaque dimensions and wording, a brief proposal for a dedication ceremony, and of course, funding. I will say with absolute certitude the first questions (right after the inevitable "Is this for real?" query) will be, "What do you want from us? What is this going to cost us?" Having bid on government contracts in the past, again with certainty I can state our account statement must show funding in place at the time of our presentation or our presentation will not be seriously considered. Thanks for your time, chris y -if anybody would like a copy of the final proposal- we would really, really like it to be finalized by early february- we'll make a handful of extra copies and for a buck or two contribution to the fund you too can hold your own when the next cocktail party conversation turns to the load bearing capacity and structural tensile properties of 2" stainless steel insertion rods.
