Old Business

A.  Tree Planting Program - The Thula "Green Giant" is the board's choice for the privacy screen between the park and the Janeck property.  We will price out 5' size.  It has not yet been decided where we will need other trees.

B.  Memorial Walkway:  The order form insert in the newsletter was well received.  Insertion cost was $100.00.  Linda and Portia are working on the business list for a separate mailing.

C.  Land Acquisition:  Keith and Chip walked the parcel.  It seems suitable for our needs, but Chip will look more closely and get us a report.  We still need to lock down the price; we need a survey and a legal description of the land.  Joyce will schedule a meeting with Keith and Mr. Chapman.

D.  Park Entrance Sign:  Mike reporting, according to Etched in Time the material we have chosen is not suitable for sand blasting the lettering.  It should be cut using a CNC router because no template is needed.  Hand routing will require a template.  Mike will research the cost for routing the letters.  Material cost is $82.00 for a 4' X 8' sheet including delivery.  We also need new side posts.

E.  Play Equipment: We will not be able to look at any play equipment.  There is nothing close enough for us to view.  All the vendors do have good warranties.  Further discussion and motion made by Cindi to purchase the Tarantula climber, 2^nd Linda.  Approved.  Three quotes are needed.  Barry will obtain them.

F. Trash receptacles:  Construction of the first of 3 bins is completed.  It will be placed by the Snack Shack.  A material and labor cost to date for the three receptacles is $2500.   Appropriate recycling signs need to be purchased and affixed to the front of the units.

G. Park benches: The benches made and donated by Ross Ceraolo are ready for installation.  The Board designated the sites where the benches are to be installed.

H. Recyclables:  The recyclables have been piling up of late and is unsightly.  Discussion:  Pick up schedule is thought to be Friday night.

New Business

A. Playground resurfacing:  The surface has been cleaned.  A cut was found and we purchased a patch kit to fix it from the vendor for $195.

Next Meeting: The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 15, 2008 at 5:30 P.M.
Motion to adjourn by Cindi, 2^nd Portia.  The meeting was adjourned at 6:53 p.m.
