New Business.

• Sprint is exploring locations to install a cellular communication monopole. Their analysis of the local communication footprint shows that a monopole is needed within one-third mile of the fire station adjacent to LFCA. The company desires to erect the pole on fire station property. In initial sensing sessions with LFCA and adjacent communities, homeowners voiced opposition to Sprint’s plan. Sprint desires, but does not require, community support before proceeding. The board will ascertain the number of homeowners for, against, or ambivalent on the issue at the summer general meeting.
• The board agreed to two topics for the June general membership meeting:
• Sprint Monopole
• Milky spore application

Action Items.

• Steve Gilbert: Contact milky spore vendor for application date; the text for the milky spore postcard; a summary of the December general meeting for the spring newsletter.
