Taylor Hecker Eagle Scout Project Final Plan Work Processes The first step was to meet with the main volunteers of my project Dave Anderson and John Kallemeyn to discuss the main tasks required in my project. Dave Anderson is the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the official volunteer Park Steward for Woodlands Trails Park and the Director of Concrete Quality for Cretex. John Kallemeyn is the Quality Materials Engineer for Cretex. The time to complete the various tasks is outlined in my attached project log in the back of this notebook.

Dave Anderson donated the Finn form. John Kallemeyn used the saws and equipment at his house garage to cut the Finn form wood. We cut the form wood into the proper size and shapes decided on by both John and Dave. I assisted in connecting the board together with screws. We used 2 x 4 lumber donated by John to construct the base for the form to become free standing. • Acquisition of Supplies and Materials nffsr�� Dave and John had a meeting with me and my Dad who is the Elk River Parks and Recreation Director. We discussed the materials and supplies needed for this project. We discussed that Cretex would donate all of the materials and chemicals related to the concrete. city will donate the rubber letters and numbers required in the casting of the mile markers. The The rubber letters and numbers were purchased by the city through a vendor in Texas that I found on • the internet. I went shopping with John to Menards to purchase many of the supplies needed in the
