completion, and list the 2006-2011 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) item
numbers that support this work. Ray Smith amended this motion to have the
information submitted as a read-ahead to the COMMITTEE members. The motion
passed unanimously.

and include this information on the questionnaire sent out to the Homeowner
Associations. Motion passed unanimously.
