3. Table Purchase and Installation - Dick Clem suggested that the Board authorize the purchase of a waterproof table and bench to be placed near the gazebo at the front entrance lake. The purchase was moved, seconded and approved.  STATUS: in progress, will be installed when the weather is not so cold, probably in the spring.

4. Wall Repair - Paul mentioned that he’d received a request from a homeowner to repair the top of the right front entrance wall. Dick said that he was aware of the problem and planned to make the repairs within the next two months.  STATUS: The estimate received for this job was $11,000, which is much too high. The board will investigate other alternatives. STATUS: in progress.
