I did stop by and touch base with Peg at the Community Center and let her know the project was approved and moving forward. The benches are a work in progress as we know and I still am looking at different options. I’ve included a picture of a bench that is at the Mendocino Dog Park that might be worth consideration. Lumber is starting to come back down so I worked up a rough $250 per bench (Home Depot wood price) estimate if we were to build these. Of course that means taking on the construction. I have the tools and it would be a fun job, just not sure on the time at the moment. The base still would need to be worked out, but I think there are some options without raising the ire of the HRB about permanence and approval. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dean</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="C3FDFF02-E2A7-41F9-B9A4-DF9C7C826D80" src="cid:18EE745B-0B57-4D35-8303-733E17780D4B" class=""></div></body></html>
