Meeting minutes reviewed from 5/13: path washing away and Vito working with contracting through Oliveri instruction; path widened, drainage, foot bridge, crushed limestone installed – voted unanimously. Water coming in from the road which is why the drainage was installed at the entrance to the beach. There was an 18 in pipe installed under foot bridge.

Lighting down path was discussed at length, quotes were obtained grid vs. solar. We also looked into having a pole and meter isntalled. Due to concern of expense, introducing unwanted intruders, and concern of budget for replacement stairs this matter was tabled. Michael Suffoletto offered to keep the garage motion light on to help illuminate the path at night.

Teenage parties on the beach are prohibited, and it everyone is encouraged to call the police for any disturbances with activity on or going down to the beach. Police have a key to get down to the beach. Karen is in the process of talking with an attorney to see what we can do to help protect the society.

Installation of privacy fence – quotes were obtained, but tabled due to expense and budget.

Rob landscaping – trimming path, and keeping brush cut back. Per Jon, Rob has the contract.
