Minutes:

Present A-a...-a... Laura, Nancy

We looked at last years budget and created this
description of our A-a...-A...mandateA-a...-A-
for the budget committee

Most of the common house expenses are utilities,
services, loan payments and cleaning and maintenance
supplies. Along with these essential expenses the
common house requests an additional amount in its
yearly budget to fund improvements. Last year this
money went for new sitting room shelving, recovering
the dining room chairs and blinds for the dining room,
and will fund a new surface for the foyer concrete
floor. We hope to fund new furnishings for the media
room next year and improve the guest room.


Couch cleaning
Looked at media room and guest room and decided that
next meeting we would like to put together explicit
plans for new furnishings to propose for next yearA-a...-a...-s
budget

Media room couch should be cleaned but is in such poor
condition that it isnA-a...-a...-t worth much expense

Update on concrete floor in the foyer
Laura and Keith experimented with the concrete acid
stain in the foyer and decided that the results
werenA-a...-a...-t that great. We will now go on to plan B which
is an enamel paint that covers the entire surface.
Need to find a local source for the enamel paint

Computer in foyer A-a...-a... Laura will take to the computer
recycling center on Jackson road A-a...-a... we request that no
more large A-a...-A...guffA-a...-A- of this sort be left in the foyer
