Trail Sign Removal: The Trail Signs along the lake walking paths are rusting and require removal and replacement.
It was previously determined that the trail signs would not be funded for replacement, and would simply be removed as necessary. In this vain, one sign was previously removed without replacement.
Initial proposals received to replace all eight maps were provided at a cost of $13,000.
The Board of Directors wish to further discuss the preservation of the item. There are currently eight trail signs along the walking paths and the Board will review revised proposals for the replacement of four at the May Board of Directors Meeting.
For safety purposes, the trail signs will be removed in the meantime.
