   • Top grade finished park drainage, seems to be a big improvement, when water still accumulates on path still it goes away once rain stops. Takes about 24 hours for it to drain away.
   • Shed, 
   • City of Kent notified us regarding catch basins again $10K in 2020, suggest vote (below) on that plus 20% increase and have Eydie get quotes. Cathy already asked to reach out to Innovac, who did it last time. Done By July 22nd. $12,000 Approved for Eydie to get a company to clean catch basins without coming back to the board, Motion to approve by Don, 2nd by Amanda, passed unanimously
   • Playground repairs--Posts replaced but no other repairs done, vendor is no longer responding, Eydie still working on alternative bids. Found playground vendor that made our play structures, they have parts but no labor. Don and Michael worked on the structure in the tiny park on 121st. It is strongly recommended we start replacing the play structures one per year starting this or next year at the latest, if we do this year, we may be able to convince our new construction contractor who installs them to take care of our repairs at the other as part of the deal. We have a new inspector who can do follow up inspections, suggest we get onto a regular maintenance inspection plan.
5. Security (Warren)-
   • Warren to research other options for the security money savings to augment the Fdub current plan
   • Waiting for payment refund from Flock for overpayment. March 29 end of contract flock has not removed or sent refund. Eydie reached out regarding check again last week and today.

• • Possible parking CC&R changes or rule changes (until transition is completed)
  • Community art wall
  • Replacement of table in gazebo
  • Painting Gazebo
  • Park rules sign and changes. Include times open, overnight vs park use parking status--no update--tabled until parks amenities are rehomed and added. Eydie to get sign quote and post issue for the expenditure for sport court sign. On hold for playground bids on repairs, will be included. 
  • Rules rewrite for park parking (for park use only) and to include hydrants and any other changes- 
  • Little Park amenity relocation and additions 
  • Alert homeowners with fences along all perimeter to do any needed repairs by the end of this year so next year the HOA can begin painting Spring of 2023. To be done after transition.
