7:10 Colline Dreyfuss arrives.

 

7:12 Katie C returns.

 

David K said the security camera and intercom could be installed and the parts could be relocated and the parts reused in the event a building project is implemented.

Bill Felton seconded.

Colline D asked if we were talking about a small hole or will we have to take down several feet of fascia?

 

David K said we would have to take down several feet of fascia to see what’s causing the problem (most likely water seeping down behind the fascia) and put it back up. The sign could be done at the same time.
