Board member present: Gene Dunne, Fred Krug, Michael Bender and Tom Hytry.

The following homeowner was also present: Carole Crum, Don Hahn and Dave Hanck.

Finance: 97K in assets. Only 10% of budget spend so far this year. (Note: pool expenses are the largest part of the budget and they start this month.)

Grounds: Entrance light to be replaced.

Weed control on the path will be done at the start of June.

Cost of contracting an arborist to try to save the 9 ash trees on the club house land area would be$ 24K over 3 years with a likely success rate of 60%.

Instead, the Board (Gene Dunne) treated the 9 infected ash trees with an off the shelf insecticide that has been proven to be effective against emerald ash bores. The cost of the treatment was $150.00. If the trees improve, we will treat them for the next two years. If the trees do not improve we will have to remove them as they die

Pool: Moving ahead on pool resurfacing, will be done before pool season.
