There is a Vern Reynolds Trust to be used for depot restoration in the amount of $6,953.54 that can be used for the door. Lighthouse Glass quoted an ADA compliant commercial door that would match the depot in the amount of $7,452.00. Zabel stated that she would like to see another quote. Kitzman will get other quotes and this will be on the next agenda.

Kitzman discussed an exterior paint program, as there is a Vern Reynolds Trust in the amount of $6,953.54 to be used for exterior painting of residential homes. Kitzman asked the council how they wanted this project to be handled, such as who is eligible, should there be an application process, should a contractor be hired so we know the home gets painted, etc. Zabel mentioned the City of Creston has a similar program and SICOG matches funds for this type of program. Kitzman will contact the City of Creston for details on their program and contact SICOG about matching funds and this will be on the next agenda.
