Board unanimously approved Steve’s request/recommendation that the Board purchase orange traffic cones to have on hand in case they are needed.  

Financial Report: Phyllis reported that Expenses exceeded Budget by $12,663.  This was primarily due to the receipt of bills for tree trimming, pool bathroom remodel and pool umbrellas.

However, electricity nearly doubled for the month.
