President’s Report – Allen Hall
        1. Allen & Kim met with Joplin’s City Manager & Visitors Bureau Director to hear out the City’s two potential
revitalization projects that were being presented to Council that next week. They wanted some feedback from the board’s
perspective. Any new information that comes from these projects will be shared with the membership.

are to be done by the original subcontractors and we will ask that no charges are incurred.

a Sentricard to open the key compartment on a lockbox, only the app.

comparable platform.
