6. Report from the Recreation Coordinator: Michael Boyett spoke with
the Accounting Department this morning and the non Friendswood
resident money has been approved to be used to purchase items for the
center. It will take a few weeks for the money to be available because
it has to be transferred into the account. Also, we got the final
approval for the bus. Now, the final details of the bus need to be
decided on, like the seat fabric. Michael should get a final quote for
the bus tomorrow, June 15. After the final quote is in, the Accounting
Department will decide on if there will be a bid process or not. If
there is a bid process it will take a month and half longer to get the
bus. We could get the bus as early as August, but it will be here, at
least, by the end of the year.

system, Projector and two new chairs.
