[W2CRA] CRA: Grant Wish List to Date

[Chris Malzone]

Hi Bill, 

Thanks for the complete summary!

Question on the following 2 issues:

1. Regarding the new 12 foot trailer seems we need to get a thumbs up or down on what are the county will provide it before we ask for one in this request. 

2. Should consideration should be given to our disposing of the trailer as it is non technical part of this request?

Best regards, Chris
