IV. Old Business

Eric Ellingson reported that the demonstration of the proposed installation of acoustic tile on the Ramada ceiling was complete. A motion was proposed to proceed with the full installation, the motion was seconded and passed.

V. New Business

It was noted that sand, demolition debris, and rubbish has been appearing at the rear of the tennis/pickleball courts.  A motion was proposed to purchase and install a sign in that area that prohibits dumping. The motion was seconded and passed. No one was tasked with that duty, but it will be done.

Pat Sharpe informed the Board that an aggressive dog living in the neighborhood was endangering smaller dogs during walks in the neighborhood. The owner will be contacted by Neighborhood Relations.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:50 PM.
