At their Wednesday meeting, the Washington School Board heard the winning bid for the new lighting at Dick Sojka Memorial Field from Superintendent Willie Stone, “ I would recommend to the board to approve Van Maanen Electric, for the base fit of $311,735.00 with alternate two added in at $7,077.00 for $318,820.00. Washington Riverboat Foundation they are paying 40% of the $300,000 bill. So you know we always underestimate a little bit, and the reason why we underestimate the cost is because we want to make sure that the cost isn’t over what our projection is.” The schedule to have the lights installed is April of next year. They are required to use the funds that they received from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation by May.
