GENERAL BUSINESS
Carl asked if the Board had any projects to take on. There was some discussion of the possibilities and it was agreed to continue at the next meeting.        
 
John had previously mentioned cleaning the streets once a year, as this would remove build up debris. It would cost about $1100 per cleaning.  Another project would be to set aside additional funds for the green space, as removing ivy and other invasive plants.
 
Carl said he had asked Dennis (former president) if he was interested in receiving Board emails and coming back on the Board at some point. The Board said this was a good idea and approved.
