Zucal said that he believes that “great things are happening in the Village of Leesville” and that Matlerer had advised him that the village is in the process of applying for grant funding for improvements to the village’s park and sidewalks, as well as a trail to connect the village to the school.
Zucal said that he had discussed the trail project with Malterer, who had advised that letters in support of the project would be beneficial when applying for the OMEGA funding. Zucal told the board that he is working with the teaching staff and students to have letters composed by students submitted on the village’s behalf. Zucal said he believes Malterer is “doing a fabulous job” in her new role.
In other discussion, board member Logan Putnam reported on a recent meeting he and board member Rob Higganbotham had held with Rocket Center Director Bill Love. Putnam reported the Rocket Center currently has 300 memberships, of which multiple are family memberships.
Putnam further reported the rearranging of the entrance to the Rocket Center, that was discussed at the February meeting, would be completed around the Easter break and would make entry more streamlined. He said staffing of the bowling alley is being organized. Applications for membership to the Rocket Center, as well as current times of operation, may be found at www.cvul.org.
Higganbotham reported an annual servicing agreement for the elevator in the Rocket Center is being ironed out and inquired if any other board members had experience with elevator preventive-maintenance programs.
A discussion took place regarding the matter and item number four, approving a maintenance agreement with Schindler Elevator Corp, was removed from the agenda and tabled until the April board meeting, so that more research can be done, and additional quotes may be obtained for review.
