Request to add to Pleasure Island Budget
I hereby request for the $500,000 project costs to be added to the Pleasure Island Department or Capital Improvements funds for the amount needed for the Construction Phase.
Past budgets showed the funds available, but may have been removed due to the long delay.

REQUEST TO MEET WITH ENGINEERS:
There were minor changes made by Fittz and Shipman, Engineers that are not in the initial Grant regarding lighting and the general areas.
If this request needs to be addressed separately, then I shall return on another date.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Having been instrumental in getting the original marine architect approved, helping with the grant and submitting it, I’d like to meet with the current engineers regarding changes they
made.
