MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

1. Son of HOA members and Eagle Scout candidate, Matt Nicoloson, presented his proposal to create a low height wood backstop to augment the chain link fence backstop at the boat park and to add two additional permanent benches to the same area.  Most questions concerned height of backstop, need for treated lumber and mode of connection to existing backstop.  By unanimous vote, Matt’s proposal was accepted.  The Board gave approval for Matt to present the project to the troop for approval and if the scoutmaster approves his plan he can move forward with the project.  Activities will be coordinated with Steve Yandl.
   
   
2. Tim Rizzo has a new step for the boat park tug boat that was fabricated by folks where he works but needs to get measurements and markings so legs can be attached.  Tim previously repaired wood surface of the picnic tables at the boat park.  We still need to get Skinner to pressure wash the climbing toys.
   
   
3. Steve Yandl stated that there are half a dozen fence panels he would like to get repaired in the current year before big winds do further damage.  There were no objections.  Don Jordan and Evan Adolf still plan to help document common area fence measurements so we have better detail on which sections are most newly repaired.

1. Several of the requested and approved roof replacement requests have not been completed but new requests have not come in as we transition into winter.
   
   
2. Several shed requests have been approved.
   
   
3. There have been several recent sales so an updated database will be distributed.
