Old Business
Gary charged $225 for cleaning the storm drains, but there are approximately 2-4 that are not cleaned. The Board members will walk around and take pictures and contact Gary to ensure they get cleaned.

Rachel mailed out snow removal information letters to absentee homeowners & property managers, posted them to Facebook and delivered them to new renters. The Orchard community has been thoroughly informed about rules during the snowy months, thus no excuses will be accepted for cars parked on the street or in fire lanes.

New Business:
Board Members will send Tom input on changes to the bylaws and The Board will discuss them at the December meeting. This will prepare The Board for the Annual Meeting in January.

Janet asked permission to print larger amounts of copies, when needed, at Copy Junction so that she does not have to use her own equipment. Motion proposed by Janet, and seconded by Rachel.

The Board needs to update the information box regularly. To ensure papers do not fly away, Tom will add a protective covering to make sure the paper(s) do not get damaged by weather. Tom will need to order the coverings on Amazon. Motion to approve the purchase of the covering by Tom, seconded by Ashley.
