PIE/Medvolt Contract for Hotel Remodel
Jay Finch stated that the contract for the work on the hotel was discussed last month.

The Pepsi Corporation selected Dan Stromer’s name to receive Super Bowl tickets. With Pepsi’s rules, the individual receiving the tickets cannot transfer them to anyone or use them any way other than their attendance to the game, therefore selling the tickets, using them as a promotion for the casino or transferring them is not allowed.
