Some minor <br />work has been performed at the golf course and one of the boarded up doors has been removed and a new <br />door installed. Struve indicated he will be working with the volunteer group to redo some of the <br />landscaping.

As it relates to Bederwood Park, due to the weather, the last two Thursday meetings have <br />been cancelled but there is a meeting scheduled for this Thursday so a cost estimate can be obtained for <br />the new equipment. <br /> <br />*8.
