The scope of the SCFC will be limited to the development of a Single rebuild financing plan and other financial aspects of that project that may be requested by the board.The SCFC scope will not include lift design, ticket pricing, timing of construction, or other aspects of the Co-op’s business.The SCFC will utilize the Co-op strategic plan (revised November 2004) and assumptions provided by the board as the basis for its work.
