COMMITTEE REPORTS
Parking Policy Committee: Ms. Jane, Parking Committee Chairperson, reported that the committee has met, and that no concrete solution to parking problems at Highlands Cooperative Association had been agreed to.
Ms. Jane further noted that she is recommending, as Parking Committee Chairperson, that the current Parking Policy be retained, and that the Parking Committee be dis-banded.
There was Board consensus to fully implement the current Parking Policy as written. Ms. Miller will send out notification of this to Highlands Cooperative Association members the week of 10/07/03, and will allow members until 12/1/03 to comply.
There was further Board consensus to officially dis-band the Parking Committee.
PARKING LOT RECONSTRUCTION
Ms. Miller recommended that the planned parking lot reconstruction project be tabled until the Spring of 2004, due to lack of budget funding, and the potential of natural gas prices and use being high during the Winter 2003/2004 season.
There was Board consensus to agree with Ms. Miller’s recommendation.
HAUNTED HOUSE
There was Board consensus to cancel the Haunted House this year due to budgetary constraints.
In lieu of the Haunted House, half of what is normally spent on the Haunted House will be put towards a Halloween Open House on 10/31/03, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the clubhouse. Apple cider and donuts will be served, and members are encouraged to come dressed in Halloween attire. There will be prizes awarded for the best costume, one for each age group: 0-10 years, 11-18 years, 19-older.
