Agenda item: New Business


Discussion:


§ Christina Bowen made presentation for ideas on a children’s room, including outdoor spaces – mat room and discovery library.


§ Twin Bridges Sign: sign is a replica of Lyle bridge with a Twin Bridges Museum. Need to decide where to put to sign – want it visible from the highway. Decided to have it over steps from Hwy 14.


§ Someone wants to take the ficus tree.


§ Habitat for Humanity starting a new house.


§ Sherriff will be at next council meeting and wants to start a neighborhood watch. May 23. Been a rash of tire slashing lately.


§ Gorge Grown mobile would like to be here every Saturday starting in July through September. They encourage other vendors so we could charge other vendors. They have a 14’ refrigerated case. They would be the base to draw people and vendors. We would need to do the community awareness. Need to look at insurance, garbage service, what their commitment is.


§ WSU landscape disc – Michael volunteered to look at it at last meeting. Gave his impression that we already have what we want and the designs took too much away from that – more suitable to a city park. Discussion on getting gates to open building for rest room use. Look at composting toilet. For now, we will stick with porta potty in summer.


Action items:


§ Approved Twin Bridges Sign location.


§ Christina will reach out to see if there are people who want to teach or hold activities at the LAC.


§ Sherri will call Gorge Grown and let them know we are interested and get answers to questions. Committee: Sheri, Lisa, Vern, Sondra, Lorie.

Discussion:


§ LAC building – hoping to have done in another month, progressing.


§ Start date on the roof? Need permit. Need materials list to review. Vern and Oren will get update from Norm.


§ Boiler room circuit breaker – Vern concerned that we cannot provide adequate power for outdoor music. For this year will be extension cords. Still need a new panel with more breakers. Oren will talk to Mark.


§ Bar-b-que project – should be placed on Thursday or Friday. Has manual elevator tray. Was donated by an anonymous donor.


§ Programming committee. Computer classes and Game nights are on hold for summer. Tai Chi classes going well – not quite paying instructors fee yet. Yard sale in June – vendors are signing up.


§ Building – do we need a back-up for Joy? Joy is working weekends now so may need another back-up.
