The motion passed.

David moved and Nancy seconded to have Nancy sign the Department of Corrections Agreement for Community Service work to include minor beach and lake care as of 6/28/07. A DOC diver would be supervised by Gerald Saindon to work on buoys and do a test raking of algae at Helen Suebe’s.
