Chair Report: We discussed getting together, sometime to. tour the parks and discuss
our summer projects. There are few times that all board members are
available, but we may try to do it on the day of the softball to~i~~ent
Old Business: Bruce brought quotes from Design Electric for the light on the
sledding hill (with pole, timer, and photoelectric eye = $1375) and the
campgrounds (replace box, poles, and wire out to 8 campsites = $5875 or use
some existing equipment and wire 8 sites for $2970}. We will get at least one
more quote to compare. We briefly discussed the pros and cons of the two
campground options. The opinion of most board members was that it would be
best to do the entire project well this time so we can avoid fixture problems. No
vote was taken, as we are awaiting another bid.
