He fabricated a new screen at the gate. A more rigorous cleaning schedule is in place. A big thank you to Bob, Kelly & Ed for their time cleaning the head gate.

He states that each lot is entitled to 3 acre feet per year. The watering schedule has been designed with all 28.5 shares. The ARB gave an update on site builds. The ARB & Executive Board discussed the appeal process of denied plans, what fines could be levied for non compliance, etc.
