Associates, Inc., in the amount of $58,100, for design and development of construction documents for

$21,000, for plan revisions to previous construction documents. The contract scope included construction
document modifications for the construction of two competition soccer fields and additional parking at
Gateway Park.
The proposed park improvements were listed as one of the exceptions to the gas well lease revenues
expenditure moratorium enacted on April 17, 2007.
