Murphy explains escrow funds in gym bond debate
In reply to a question about twelve thousand dollars in escrow from a voided gym bond issue the money can only retire bonds and cannot be used to eliminate the first year levy. Chairman Burns says plans are temporary and if the bond issue fails no funds are released. The proposed gym would be 102 by 140 feet seating 2500 with 18 inch aisles and two foot back to back spacing. Site has not been chosen though high school grounds are under consideration. A stage was considered but scrapped for cost and a music room is included.
