New Business:  Dave made a motion and Bob seconded to pay Debbie $40 for another bulb for the 113 sign  This is the third of four to go out recently   Another homeowner emails Debbie when he notices they are burned out   We will check if there is a cheaper bulb that can be used Steve will get a receipt for the tubing he bought to try to dry up the water at the retention pond   We will not have a wienie roast this year as attendance is so low  Dave will talk to Diana about brooming the streets  Debbie will get estimates from Arts, Tholens and the contractor John Jones uses for the use of the Shell money   Most of the other ideas submitted were not feasible

No room at park for basketball hoop or walking trail or dog park   too expensive for street lights at corners    No real need for security cameras (who would maintain?)   memory plaque should be at request of family as we do not want to set a precedence
