City is receiving prop 68 money which they want to put toward a bike park. Our commitment is $2,000. The friends group (non-profit arm of San Marcos) is contributing $10,000. We will most likely give the money to the Friends Group, and they’ll give the whole amount.

Al recommended to make this a 2019 transaction.
