Last year the association approved building a shelter on the community lot and approved $12,000 for the structures.

Estimates ended up being higher than originally thought and with the limited time the committee had, the funds didn’t get spent. Lou Foritano reviewed the committee’s progress to date. The bid for the fence and basic seating is $5,000. Bids for very simple structures are $2,000 - $5,000.

Gene Anest questioned whether we want or need a structure there or not. Susan Anest raised question as to what the committee’s plans are.
