Green Committee Report
- Ray Story

Well Control Panel: To complete the water well project additional funds are needed for a control panel. It was originally thought that a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control panel would be a component of the new irrigation system. This panel is standard to the industry to control the well water when pumped directly into an irrigation system. Olsen motioned for additional funds not to exceed $50,000 for the control panel, higher estimated electrical service costs from PG&E and a contingency. Brooks seconded. The motion carried. Justus suggested that Story and Frisbie present various pumps (including noise level and costs) to the Board for consideration.

Corporate Class of Membership: At the Board's request the committee provided more detail to their draft regarding a Corporate Class of Membership. The committee is requesting the Board to approve the draft and forward it to the By-Laws committee for wording. It will then be presented to the Board again for discussion/approval. It could then be present to the membership if approved by the Board. Fell motioned to approve, Gemmer seconded. The motion carried.

Pool: A liability release form will be implemented this year for the Swim Team and some tennis activities. Information on the Fitness Facility is progressing.
