  • Building Committee and Special Projects– Carl Bertelsen
    • Fall painting and decks are completed except 117-120. That will be put off until next spring. Will be moving away from Chase painting and likely moving to Truckee Tahoe Painting—a larger company that could do the work more efficiently.
