1	Streets and Grounds Daniel Hickey was hired to pick up broken limbs in the common areas for $50. Marshall approached Lawerence to see if we would apply Round-up to remove the weeds in the drainage areas with rick-rack. Bud Ratliff motioned that we pay for the Round-Up and ask Marshall to apply it; Lawerence King seconded it; motion passed unanimously. Motion was made by Larry Mitchum to spend up to $150 to distribute pre-emergent chemicals, which we will purchase separately, on the common areas to prevent weeds. Motion seconded by Lawerence King; passed unanimously. The area that had been ripped up at the juncture of Cottage Grove and Coach Station has been left this way for several months. Larry Mitchum called the city, and they said they'd check on when it was going to be completed.	Branches will be picked up 5/5/2003; Mike will take the branches to the curb. Mike will check with Marshal to obtain a quote for applying the Round-up. We will purchase the Round-up, which runs to ~$48 / gallon. Lawerence already has some pre-emergent. Mike will obtain a quote for the application. If it exceeds $150, then we will all get together the third week in May to apply it. We will follow up.
2	Public Relations Mowtown Mowing wanted to place a business card sized advertisement in our next newsletter, and deduct the cost from the next mowing bill. Bud asked if there were any objection to this; there was none. The newsletter should be written in the next two weeks.	Bud will place ad. Bud will create the newsletter.
3	Civic Action Tony Moreno had volunteered to keep us informed of the goings-on at the City Council meetings, and apologized to Mike for not sending the info on. Mike explained that wasn't a problem, as the minutes are published to the City of Midway web page at http://www.midwayky.net/mw_Government.htm. We need a Civic Action chair	Publish information in next newsletter. We will all consider who can become chair of this committee next session.
4	Finance Lawerence presented the current register. Our current balance is $7,700.12 remaining. We have no outstanding dues to collect for this fiscal year, which ends in June. Projected expenses by that time are ~$2,000. New bills will be distributed in June, and will be due July 1st. Lawerence has delinquent dues history to show how collections were processed. He also has copies of all checks received.	Larry Mitchum will check on the Ball's contribution for the sign, which will be sent to Lawerence King.
