Most of the necessary maintenance identified in last month's maintenance check

resources are available.

who repeatedly reignited it. Mick asked Gary Lore from the City Maintenance
Department to evaluate it. He has not yet identified any problems, and asked that
if the problem recurs, that he be called immediately so he can witness the
problem. Mick indicated that there have been no issues since the original
incident.

project their looking at for a test site for LED lighting, but it will not be in 2011.

is important that she be notified if anyone knows that s/he will not be able to
attend during any particular month. This is especially critical since the Board is
now only meeting semi-monthly, to ensure that a quorum is present to hold the
meeting. If anyone cannot attend the meeting, it is required that Mick be notified
a minimum of 4 days in advance of the meeting time.
