Copper Health (facility on the corner of Sun City and Rancho Vistoso): In case you're wondering about the status of the temporary fencing that has been on that site for many weeks, a permit was just approved by the Town this Tuesday to commence with drainage work. I don't have a timeline on the construction but at least they have clearance from the Town to being the work which is the last step in completion of the overall project.

June Board Meeting: an error in the Tipster states that the June Board Meeting will be held on June 23. However, the actual date is June 11.

Projects:As noted in last week's report, painting on the Clock Tower and the six tennis courts by the AFC will begin June 1^st. Repairs to the clocks will also take place next week.
