Mr. John Flynn, AFC Systems, met with Jack Speckman, Stu Hazard and Barbara Mathews, concerning the frequent problems LMA is experiencing with the lift arm gate at the Lakefront Park. The discussions will continue.

C. Personnel - (Vicky Benedon)
had nothing new to report.

6. Unfinished Business:

A. Approval of proposed painting projects: A list had been submitted to the Board by Stu Hazard outlining needed painting projects in the community and the prices bid by three vendors. Since there were only four members in attendance, Pres. Jack Speckman suggested that the Lakefront Park restoration and refurbishing of the front of the "knee wall" be approved, but the other items tabled until more board members were in attendance. Upon motion and second, the knee wall project was approved by unanimous vote of the members in attendance.

7. New Business:

A. Formation of Advisory Committee: Pres. Jack Speckman presented the concept of forming a committee to consist of one member/delegate from each Lansbrook community, for the purpose of presenting ideas and feedback to the LMA Board for consideration. Upon motion, second and unanimous vote of directors present, the formation of this committee was approved. Volunteers will be sought through mailings in the near future.

B. Community Evaluations by LMA: An evaluation form was presented to the Board members for their review. This form will be completed during drivethrough inspections to be done quarterly by Stu Hazard, Barbara Mathews and board representatives. It was felt that using the same form for all communities would be more effective than individual letters.

C. Sunset Parcel Update: A conceptual plan had been received from the parcel's owners' architect, which was briefly reviewed by the Board. It was determined that much more detailed information would be needed before the Board could consider approval or disapproval of the proposed home, landscaping and entry features.

D. Aylesford Entry Sign: A rendering of the proposed replacement sign for Aylesford's main entry was provided to the board members. Upon motion and second, the proposed sign was unanimously approved.

8. Member Questions/Input:

Issues discussed included common area irrigation and an update on modifications to the Commons Park basketball goals.

9. Next Meeting Date and Location:

February 23, 2004, Melrose Management Group facility.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:15 PM.
