A new rental application for the period July 2002 through June 2003
was submitted for use of the Kennedy Jr. High teachers’ lounge.
However, there is a school conflict with four of the requested meeting
dates. Board members suggested that management inquire if other rooms
might be available for those dates so that the GTIA schedule does not
have to be changed.
Management reported resident complaints on the condition of the Pine
Grove. Several Board members volunteered to clean out and hand weed
the pine grove on Saturday, July 13th.
Finance Committee
Joe Broda requested that all committees begin review of 2003 projects
in order to present their proposed budget requests to the Finance
Committee at the August meeting.
Maintenance Committee
Les Lavin noted that trail work is being done south of Green Trails
and east of Timbertrails (behind Pinehurst and Muirwood Courts). He
asked the Board to approve the committee recommendation to add a
crosswalk extension of ten feet to the north side of Green Trails
which would then be aligned with the extension already in place on the
south side of the road and allow for direct access to the north trail
and avoid having to walk on the street.
Board Motion: Tim Dudas moved to accept the extension of ten feet,
Dean Degl’Innocenti seconded. The motion was passed by unanimous voice
vote.
There is trail area near Angel Lane and Tellis where poplar tree roots
are growing up under the trail causing large eruptions in the

to discuss a “face lift” to the web site. The committee recommends
