They were able to get the first coat of paint on the deck and clear half of the brush down to the creek. Chairman Latham stated that there is still a lot of work to be done, including a downed tree. Chairman Latham stated that they burned until 6:30 P.M. and the HSB fire truck was there as well checking on them, however they did not stay.

The Board agreed to look into this and get an estimate for making the change.
Chairman Latham then stated that she had been in touch with Johnathan again regarding changes to the locks at the pool and boat ramp, he can do it, however it will require a steel box attached someway and a welder.
