ITEM *7 OLD BUSINESS:
Mr. Marquez reminded the Board that they had agreed to meet every 2 months.
However, this has not taken place. He asked the Board's position about
meeting only as needed on a regular basis with memos between meetings. The
Board agreed to this suggestion.
Ms. Jones asked about the status of the lots purchased by Mr. Mike Biry.
Mr. Marquez said he would need to talk about this with Mr. John Torres. The
contract with the city for lawn services has expired and options need to be
considered for continued services. Mr. Jefferys suggested that B & J Lawn
