There is no new business to be discussed at the meeting other than the election of Board Members. However, we will be holding a question and answer session afterwards, and expect to cover issues such as the ongoing water restrictions, continuing vandalism to the brick wall on Shelley, upcoming construction and other activities occurring in the surrounding area, and other topics of interest.
