            way.

d.      Project Engineer’s Report (Frank Bluestein)

Frank is in the process of replacing the signs at the tennis courts.  Netting has been repaired by one of our residents.  

Richard Priest the homeowner at 1860 Squire Ridge Court volunteered his
services to seal coat the parking lot at the tennis courts.  This was
supposed to be completed last week however it was not completed as promised.
Since it is a voluntary service, we will wait for further word from Richard.

The request for a fire pit has been granted with final approval to be given by
Chris Barth, Fire Wise, of the Fire Department.  (They must meet all the requirements and specifications required by the city)

              Front Range Arborists continue to work in the ravine common area. It was noted that they are doing a great job.

         start.  Jim Patton came to the meeting and explained how in detail the
         process will work.  Board members had not received the e-mail plan
