Director’s report

Attached.

The clothing shed has been delivered. Bob has concerns about the signage on the shed and we agreed to move the sandwich board sign for it so it’s not blocking our sign.

 

Committees/misc

Bob is still researching costs for an electronic sign.  

We need to address the doors (Since our meeting, the town has issued a work order for their door. It sticks and people think it’s locked.)
