The existing copier machine lease is up for renewal.  Tomi negotiated a new lease with additional functions such as finishing (stapling) and scanning for a lower monthly rate and service plan pricing than our existing contract.  The Board approved the lease.  Tomi reported that five (5) remain on the waiting list for a space in the RV/Trailer Storage area.  The inspection of the RV Storage has been conducted and 31 letters mailed for non-compliance issues.  Unoccupied Lot mowing is almost complete.  Inspections of lots will take place to identify downed, dead and diseased trees for removal.
