Design Committee Meeting

Thank you to Brenda Heffernan and Ray Waters for their enthusiasm about Ortonville this evening. Thank you to Debbie and Pam for their apologies, maybe we'll see you next time.

Despite our low numbers, we had a very productive meeting. Two work plans were formulated, one for fixing the fountain and one for building a pavilion in Crossman Park.

For the fountain, we decided to make inquiries. What will the parts would cost? What will the maintenance for the fountain be and what will it cost to keep it running after it is fixed? Will it stay fixed? Can we keep it running through out the winter? We hope to find a skilled volunteer to donate the work.

For the pavilion, Brenda brought in a schematic of one built up north near her vacation property. She also had a supplies list we can use to project our costs. We created a work plan to finish this project by June 2009. Brenda wants to raise the funds by selling "tribute" brick pavers to Ortonville families. We hope to find volunteers to help us build the pavilion itself with the supplies we provide.

Both of these work plans are ready for approval by the DDA Board next Monday.
