Roads and Trails – Larry and Emma Scott would like to see gravel spread on the State Point Road soon. The board will work on this.
Community Center Planning – Kolstad/Olson drilled down 325’ and got no water so they hydrofracked and said we should have enough water for functions and the new building.

Marlene has purchased six acoustic panels for the hall that will be installed shortly. Marlene will get samples of metal siding for our next meeting. Greg House worked on the parking lot.
