   4. Wrestling Mat Purchase (Action) I35 Wrestling Mat Club has made a donation in exact amount already to the I35 Wrestling account.  The biggest reason for the purchase of the new mat system is because it allows all 3 mats to run together in a rectangle down the center of our gym, this means that both sets of bleachers on the East and West sides can be pulled out. Currently when our three mats are out, only one side can be pulled out. We currently host events that need both sets of bleachers, and we are adding additional events starting next year that will require more seating.

   6. Bus Routing Software (Action) Mrs. Finley will be here to present bids on a routing software system to serve the transportation needs in routing, overlay, fuel, pre/post checks etc.
