[23:36] » It looks good. Good job, Molly. >> Everybody's happy with

[23:49] » anything from Sandy or

[23:56] any uh on old business. Um the uh airators are back up and running. There

[24:05] was a blown capacitor in one of the aators

[24:09] and um he fixed that. There's a a bill and I

[24:15] forwarded that on I can't remember but um 240

[24:21] bucks or 50 bucks but I'll make a motion that we pay that out of the general

[24:26] maintenance account or something like that.

[24:30] up to 250 somewhere less than >> 27.

[24:37] » Thank you. He uh he called me. He says, "I think I fixed it, but when I was

[24:44] putting the cap back on, my screwdriver slipped and I ground it out. I think I

[24:47] popped a breaker." So, and so I came over maybe the next night and went

[24:53] downstairs and reset the breaker and they came off. So, [cough]

[24:58] but u took care of it.

[25:04] Any other old business? >> Uh do we [clears throat] plan to do

[25:09] anything with the um kitchen? Is that going to stay as it is? Can we just take

[25:12] it off or what do we do? >> I think we should take all that stuff

[25:15] off, >> all the things that are tabled and then

[25:18] we'll bring them back when we get some activity on them. So, okay. But but I I

[25:24] I am I will have more tool in my hand in about a month.

[25:29] So I plan on picking that one up and working with that one

[25:34] » for the bridge >> downstairs.

[25:37] » Um the bridge I had someone take a look at it on Friday. I'm waiting for the

[25:42] quote to come through. Vince wanted it.

[25:48] » Yeah. He showed interest in that about every time I come over here with

[25:54] » you reach out to >> Vince if you want. So you keep it equal.

[25:58] You know what you're talking about since you missed. Yeah.

[26:02] » Reach out to >> Are you guys good with that team?

[26:06] I met with a landscaping company out of Shogunville name is McIntyre

[26:13] landscaping out here at the clubhouse and u talked

[26:18] with him about a a be outside beautifification with hard like rock and

[26:25] maybe some low low maintenance plants and helping out with this drainage and

[26:31] erosion we have here. what could we do permanently to fix that with all the the

[26:36] flow off of the roof that goes to the down spout. It's washing out the the

[26:39] area there around the gas meter and so forth. And so he's he's going to put

[26:45] together some proposals and uh just some like artwork for us to

[26:50] look at and but I'm not so sure that he would be able to get to it this year.

[26:55] And I think I think we need to we need to try to get it done this year if we

[27:00] can. So, I may be able to to pressure him into putting us on the this year's

[27:05] list. Maybe >> you're kind of blind to me, but once

[27:13] you

[27:16] » Yeah. Yeah. So, it would Well, the area would include it. It wouldn't be putting

[27:23] that in. So, but the area would go around a new sign and the flag pole. So,

[27:29] » um, it was kind of I think our our resident AI expert here, Diana, um, had

[27:35] some good ideas that she sent out on picture.

[27:39] But I think it would go around to that corner and and maybe a strip along the

[27:45] very back, you know, not not a not a deep strip, maybe a 4ft strip or 5ft

[27:49] strip along the back or some lowle plant or shrubbery that would take like no

[27:56] maintenance or very low maintenance. I need to head to

[28:02] » So I I plan on maybe getting at least one more quote for that. But that

[28:07] stuff's expensive. That that kind of work is it adds up pretty quick. But I

[28:12] think it would really help out with the looks. It would really make it look a

[28:16] lot nicer. >> Yeah. You're smart. If you go rocks, cuz

[28:20] when you get grass on, you can take your blow. You just blow it off.

[28:23] » With mulch, you can't do that. [clears throat]

[28:27] » Rocks are nice, too. They don't fade away. I was looking I

[28:32] wanted to show you >> fall

[28:36] kind of stuff that we'd be talking about is stuff that just needs to get like

[28:40] take head trimmers and just cut it all the way off of the ground, you know,

[28:44] then it'll revitalize in the fall. Like the plants, the shrubs would be some low

[28:50] low profile shrubs. >> I want to show you. Have you walked

[28:55] around me? I'm sure that you have. Did you see that down spout? How it's

[29:00] » eating away at it? >> Yeah. Take this one right here

[29:04] » and it's it's misaligned. It's not all going down in the pipe.

[29:08] » Yeah. I kind of wiggled it back closer to I was going to show you pictures of,

[29:12] but since you've seen the >> He's got a His plan would be to address

[29:15] both of those two. >> Okay. And what was

[29:18] » McIntyre? M C I N T I R E. McIntyre Landscaping. Good Polish name.

[29:27] They did some good work down at my work and they did a really nice job.

[29:35] » So stay tuned for >> and you said the flag holes too.

[29:42] » Uh it would envelop that area. It wouldn't be putting a new flag in. We

[29:46] still need to do that.

[29:55] Okay. >> Any other old business?

[29:59] » Anything on board? >> No, that's I I will I will pick that

[30:11] because I'm waiting for that. Okay. >> If I mean, if somebody's working on

[33:59] trying to add.

[34:14] since we're here so I don't forget something.

[34:23] I'll hurry up and get things done in my order.

[34:50] put in the budget? Any special requests? I did do a little bit of a comparison.

[34:55] up everything just because everything has gone up.

[34:59] » Everything's more expensive. >> Yes. We're talking insurance, utilities,

[35:05] everything. The only thing that's really >> The only thing that's really stable

[35:10] is um the gas. And that's something I was going to ask. If I'm not available,

[35:15] can somebody else maybe meet the gas guy and let him in since they put the new

[35:19] meter on so they can check? I don't know. I don't know what your schedule

[35:23] is, but if

[35:29] I've missed them like two or three times. What they do is they call me like

[35:33] the day of and say, "We're on our way." And I'm like,

[35:37] » "This is not." >> Yeah. So, I'm I'm trying to work around

[35:42] that, but I'm going to call him because I totally forgot about it the last time

[35:45] that we were supposed to meet. So, >> you want to give Bill's number, we can

[35:49] give that a try. It's It's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen. We

[35:53] just need to get it done before winter. >> I just have to call

[35:56] » not using any natural gas right now. So, >> yeah, just have to call them back and

[35:59] then they put us on the list and then when they're in the area they

[36:03] » So, they they just >> they shut it off and upgraded the meter

[36:07] and then they got to they have to come in and inspect to turn it back on.

[36:12] » So, they need to they need to they need to do a inside inspection.

[36:16] » Yeah. Once they turn it on. That's why they can't turn it on without having it

[36:20] unlocked. >> Um What's the other thing? So the 17th

[36:25] we'll do our pre-budget and then in October meeting we'll do the adoption of

[36:32] that. But if there's anything special [clears throat]

[36:35] um that we need to put in there, if we want to focus more on uh Dan money or if

[36:40] we want to put more money into um rainy day, we can do that. I just need to know

[36:46] my my budget meeting is Thursday of this week.

[36:52] So that'll be done and out of the way. >> Well, I think I think we've got enough,

[36:58] you know, kind of cubby holes where we've got some

[37:02] money tucked in certain places that we can do. Like I think we've got money

[37:06] that we can pull out for this landscaping job if we need it. I'd love

[37:10] to be able to swing it this year. It' be great. So

[37:16] » that would be nice. Um,

[37:20] » okay. >> And so the other thing too, I'm having

[37:23] to update the uh corona virus fund and I have to account for the remaining funds

[37:31] to be spent and I hope we do that this year too.

[37:35] [clears throat] So if I see the opportunity, it's going to happen.

[37:41] » [clears throat] >> So, I got here with the budget and I got

[37:44] here with that and then I got here.

[37:50] » Any other new business? Anything from the floor?

[37:57] » Uh, Wally informed me that the street park drive that runs along my property

[38:05] is actually my driveway. On the county map, it shows us South

[38:10] Park Drive. Now, if they built that trail there and they start using that as

[38:15] a as a street, they can it's okay because it's a public street. I'm going

[38:20] to have people walk into my yard and stuff.

[38:24] Is there a way we can get that off as shown as Park Drive?

[38:33] » That's surprising to me. You mean like abandon it?

[38:38] » Yeah.

[38:44] » You've been maintaining it as your driver. It's not paid.

[38:48] » No, it's not. >> Do you gra?

[38:52] » I haven't. But I mean, the gravel's >> not bad. It's It's good.

[38:58] The other side's the worst side.

[39:06] Yeah, I don't I'm not sure about that >> because see I got Amazon

[39:10] and Dash

[39:15] » coming down that street thinking they can get to that where that campground's

[39:19] at thinking that comes up on their GPS. >> Really?

[39:23] » Yeah. I had to tell three or four people last month. No. And one went through my

[39:29] yard in order to make a YouTuber. Yeah, I think
