Next meeting April 21, 2022.
Meeting adjourned at 7:08 P.M. by Don Monistere.
Obviously the dog leash rule is ineffective. What to do???? I think we need to consider more Handicapped parking spaces. 2 desginated spaces is not enough. I have an Idea—- move spaces just above the pool down by a couple of spaces and open up the top 2 spaces for additional Handicapped parking. ie: use the open spaces to accommodate this need. There would be no need for another ramp as current ramp would be accessible by all Handicapped spaces. Wish we could look into this as to cost, etc.
