Agenda item: New Business
a. Klickitat Landing Coop – Juliet is starting a co-op from Azure Standard (AzureStandard.com ). Would be delivered every other Thursday, using LAC as the drop point. There would be a manager and volunteers. Coop members pay dues to cover expenses to OLESS. Juliet has a commercial refrigerator to donate that could be used.
b. Skyline – Vern met with business manager of clinic. Manager, Cindy Robertson, was not that keen on the idea however looked at demographics – Lyle zip code has 3000 people and about 500 patients in Lyle zip code. If their next levy passes, they want to use our nurses room. More to follow based on levy results.
c. Fireworks – signs seemed to help. Next year we need to contact DNR, still need human presence. Mildred requested that we present a request to restrict fireworks in residential areas. Board will review off-line.
