Communications Report:
We need to consider a replacement for the leadership of our newsletter.  A message should be place on the white board looking for three volunteers on the board that opens in April. Email updates need to be done as well and possibly sent out with annual meeting statements.

Finance Committee Report:
Ron Wilderman reported the following:

1.     Fiscal year was reviewed and where we were on and where we were off.  A new accounting measure needs to be put into place in regards to park expenditures.

2.     The next proposal should be done by the end of this month and forwarded to the committee.  The budget should be in the 87k range with about 10k to the reserve fund and 77k for the annual budget.

3.     Improvements at the Park include the two courts, possible security cameras, etc.  All of these issues need to be prioritized.    

Lake Tapps Community Council Meeting:
Ron reported that on the 7^th CWA has a proposal into the dept. of ecology and still no ruling has been made.  The position that we have is that water flows are so marginal in the July/August/Sept months we are opposed to their model.  The 15 days in 15 years suggestion are not realistic numbers.  The citizens of Lake Tapps need to have a say or input in this issue and notate their own public interest.  Another meeting in the next week to be held.
