Other Committee Reports

Member Relations Committee - Secretary/Treasurer Smith provided a written report which will become a part of the meeting file. She reported on the last meeting with R.E.D. Media, who proposes to produce our newsletter for free. Our only costs will be postage and handling. They in turn will cover their costs for publication by selling ad space in our newsletter.
It was the consensus of the Board to proceed by having R.E.D. Media do a mock-up of the August issue so we can work with them on how it looks. Then, if it looks good have them take over beginning with the September issue.
Buildings, Grounds, and Technologies Committee - No report from the committee. As there has been no progress made on the issues appointed to this committee, Secretary/Treasurer Smith led the discussion on maintenance of large sidewalk grass strips.
Director Riggins motioned, and it was seconded, to lift the moratorium on citing owners of lots with large sidewalk grass strips who are not in compliance with maintaining those sidewalk grass strips. Motion carried unanimously on a vote of 6 to 0.
Compliance Committee - No report
Ad Hoc Committee on Parking In Common Areas - Secretary/Treasurer Smith presented recommendations from the committee.

HCDCH - Director Domingo gave an oral report on the following:
| The contract on the design of the traffic signals on the Parkway have been awarded. A contract on the design of wheelchair ramps and crosswalks at other intersections have also been awarded. He will get us copies of the preliminary designs which will be presented to the City & County. |
