Why towns should do turf?  Does this make economic sense for our community. Need to have a sound financial story.

How do we want to handle collection?    Open to ideas.  Easier for Mark to have them bring it to the container or coaches can collect and drop off.     Or have coaches collect at banquets.  Coaches need to ensure that they inventory.  Randy will talk to Mike and Steve to coordinate.
