Old Business
Beacon Meadows Website Signs – Barbara reported that two new panels with Beacon Meadows’ website address were made by Signs USA for inserting in the Board meeting signs. Total cost was $32.10. Penny made a motion, seconded by Carol, that $32.10 (budget category 52.00) be allocated for the cost of the signs. The motion was approved by a vote of 5-0. Barbara also reported that she received an estimate from Signs USA on the cost of website signs ($160.00 to $180.00 each) that would look similar to the entrance signs and could be attached to the bottom of those signs. Although there is space under the entrance signs at the Casey Rd. entrance, there is none at the Gunn Hwy. entrance. Barbara asked Trustees to consider ways that the signs could be attached or other locations for them.
Repair and Painting of Walls – Chris reported that Don Southhall of Southhall Enterprises, Inc. provided recommendations for repairing the Jackson Rd. wall; in particular, fixing the top of the wall where it is open by killing the weeds and inserting concrete caps. Chris is waiting to hear from other individuals who he contacted for estimates. He plans to have two or three estimates to present at the September Board meeting.
