kitchen supplies, and DVD player for conference room. All the

members. There was discussion to build a gazebo/pavilion in the back
of the building with picnic tables, so that we can host picnics at the
building.
6. Report from Recreation Superintendent: Michael would like to have
the picnics here at the building, bring in canopies, tables and chairs. It
would be less work to get the food prepared and moved over to the
park. It will also, bring new seniors to our building.
7. Comments made by the Public: A work order needs to be put in to
have a piece of rebar removed from the ground at the back of the
building by the fence. Participants were not happy that we left the
Astros game early in July. The reasons given that the group left early
was to get the bus back to the building at a certain time, street closures
after the game and traffic coming home. We will notify all the
participants that we will leave early next time.
8. Comments made by the Committee Members: none
