The board met at the home of Steve Gilbert. In attendance were Steve Gilbert, Harry Hopkins, Jim Evans, Evelyn Hempstead, and Dave Wilson.

The draft minutes of the 10 May meeting were read and approved.

New Business

As the first order of new business the directors organized themselves as follows:

• Steve Gilbert - President
• Dave Wilson - Vice President
• Gene Cole - Treasurer
• Jim Evans - Secretary

Evelyn indicated she was interested in working with Jennifer Yurina and Tom Quigley on common grounds. Harry agreed to continue with Communications and the community web site. There were no objections. There was a discussion about the Architectural Committee, but no one was officially appointed to that position.

Dave Wilson raised the idea of building a parking lot for boats and trailers on a portion of our common grounds. The idea was met with some enthusiasm and some expressions of concern over liability. Dave said he would get a quote on construction costs.

Dave also raised the possibility of rewriting our architectural covenants to more clearly reflect what we have been doing in the past and what we wish to do. Mixed response.

Steve reported that he had been called by the Springfield Postmistress and given a hand slap for some flyers that were put inside mailboxes without postage. Rubbing our collective knuckles ruefully, we all promised never to do that again even though we hadn't done it this time either.

Old Business

The milky spore project was discussed. Harry gave his thoughts on how the mailer should be set up, and promised to establish a milky spore page on the web site that would include an electronic response. Steve said he would be out of the area until 1 SEP, and asked that one of those present take charge of the project. Jim Evans agreed to work with Harry to get the project rolling. Steve Gilbert asked the Grounds Committee to work the milky spore project, and asked Evelyn, as a new Grounds Committee member, if she would be willing to get the project rolling. Evelyn agreed to tally the results of the signature cards, contact those stragglers who did not respond to the mailer, and contact the contractor to arrange for the application of the milky spore.

The Sprint monopole was not discussed.
