Other Business –
1.B Dodson disagrees with Board decision to remove unused wood in Spring 05 stating that Governing Rules do not allow for this action; Board members do not have authority to change rules without vote.  Reason for removing wood has to do with old woodpiles of rotting wood in common areas that have lost value as firewood and become unsightly.  Agreed to continue discussion.
