Goal two: “Identify common areas within the community that could be used or repurposed more effectively. Monitor trends that impact the efficient use of space and valuable resources.”
Goal three: “Identify and foster relationships with local entities outside of the community that will benefit residents to the fullest.”
Goal four: “Work with on-site business partners to enhance awareness of services and contributions to our mutual success.”
Goal five: “Lead and support the managing agent to provide quality service and administrative support to fulfill the directives of the Board of Directors and the needs of the community.”
Goal six: “Continue to develop organizational structure as well as systems and programs that foster and support volunteerism and community involvement.”

Kathy O’Toole, the Assistant Executive Director, presented the Management Report. She stated that “we are currently in the Bridge Phase now” and “the Governor is expected to announce Phase 5 on June 11.”
Under New Business was the installation of a $55,000 Building Automation System (BAS) at the Millgrove workshop.
When asked for details on the Millgrove project, O’Toole responded, “Millgrove was the last of our buildings to be added to our centralized Building Automation System (BAS) Software making BAS community-wide. BAS has been added to all buildings to gain efficiencies through dynamic, remote control and operation of the building’s HVAC equipment, and set-points that have not existed prior.”
The Orange section of the Wildflower Lake Park Trail asphalt will be replaced at the cost of $55,500. This will complete the asphalt replacement project at Wildflower Lake.

The motion passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned and the board went into Executive session.
