                Landmark, Lawn America, Streets & Gutters – Kevin Johnson, chm., acknowledged the price increase by Landmark, noting, Lawn America service/price will remain the same with 7 applications.  Kevin will wait until spring to make an assessment of curb/gutter repair and street repairs needed, if any.  Kevin will also contact Landmark to bury the conduit along the entry gate when spring work begins.

                Fence & Pedestrian Gate – Jim Colgan and Gil Nickles reported on the completion of the job, noting the total expenditure of $9,085.50  which included the handyman work, materials and painting.  Issues with the lock on the pedestrian gate have been resolved, although settling may cause the gate to require further work.   It will be addressed in 2016.

                GATE – Michael Bennett, Holly Minter.  Michael reported the gate operating properly but did express concern for future repair anticipated due to age.  For now, everything is in good operating order.  The conduit will be buried in the spring.  Call box issues were resolved.
