specs include metal roofing, tongue and groove knotty pine and vinyl plank flooring. The proposed
BCOL Regional Park Advisory Council Meeting Minutes: January 4, 2019
rental rate is expected to be $65/night. The plan is to have a total of six cabins constructed with two
different cabin sizes. The cabins are pre -built modular cabins with a cost of around $35,000/each.
The plans show a flat roof and the consensus of the council Is to have the option of a gabled roof
to remain consistent with the look of the other buildings within the park. Mattice will go back to
the contractor to request new designs and work up a price difference between the flat roof structures
vs. gabled roof structures. Council members asked for Mattice to email them the new designs and
costs when that information becomes available.

Marc Mattice said that the county received notice of the grant award for the campground
