Announcements and Recognition of New Members: There were no announcements, or new members attending the meeting.

Acceptance of previous minutes: There were no corrections to the May meeting minutes, which are considered approved.

Treasurer’s Report: Joan Moreaux gave the treasurer’s report, which was largely unremarkable. Natural gas is showing some ups and downs, but due to the recent weather, is believed to be trending downward. We are slightly over budget for the year, but not so of consequence.

Architectural: No report.

Capital Projects: No report.

Common Areas: No report.

GVC: Dean Hess, the GVC alternate, explained what the Council has been doing.
