This winter it became evident that Stargate needs a garage structure to maintain its investment in groundskeeping equipment and vehicles. During cold days it was difficult to start up snow plowing equipment and it was discovered that snow accumulation makes access to equipment and supplies more difficult than had been expected.

The working group agreed that it would recommend this option to the GBOD. The group decided that it is necessary to protect our investment in equipment as well as to facilitate operations during bad weather. The group also feels that a garage structure would provide needed security to protect both Stargate assets and unsupervised children.
