Committee Reports

Communications

1. Julia discussed several options to encourage both residents and non-residents to advertise in the e-Beacon. She will investigate several options and report back to the Board. Additionally, as part of her new contract, Julia will be charging $60/hour in lieu of the $50/hour we had been paying her. This will only impact the work that is necessary for website maintenance (several hours per month).

2. Owners who have been delinquent in the payment of their yearly assessment will have their property address published in the eBeacon.

1. The pine tree at the basketball courts has been removed.
