Lets all agree
Just because Justin *ONLY wrote it does not mean he has quit on it. He just knows what strengths he brings to the table and one thing is for sure we have plenty of other labor to motivate. They just need a cause

Any wood materials projects are short term solutions.

That this is an instance that can be used in DG behalf. By changing materials for good reasons why shouldn't we press for a more permanent solution. Calling it "the next step's" in committing to permanently keep DG in Spokane parks.

Ask your agent how best to approach this (Like can they protect the funds pending resubmission). before you go to the parks.

Was the grant for materials only (free labor). would donated materials sweeten the deal?

A good idea for the club to show some financial philanthropy
Ask if the materials can be switched verbally? by addendum? or resubmission?
If not because of grant paperwork (now this will sound weird but)

ask what happens to the grant money if it goes unused?
ask how to return grant money?

Both these would be followed up with the stipulation that it will be resubmitted and show the change in materials was why the grant execution has been delayed or exceeded time limit

here is a dumb question; If they had actually read the proposal would the people approving the grants know the RR ties were going to fail?

possible solution when submitting proposals in the future word the materials part like "best application" or "environmentally sound" would be the key words to include if not both.
