10.  *Yearly lawn contract expired March 31, 2014. We solicited bids from several companies, walking the ditches with them, and hired Kyle Flint for $1000/month until March 31, 2015. He has worked out well and has done other projects for us including maintaining the front beds - pruning rose bushes that have never been pruned, replacing dead bushes, planting annual flowers, and fixing the aged sprinkler system.  *In August 2014, we upgraded the failed light system up front to provide lighting for the sign, entrance and the five oak trees.  *In October 2014, we had Kyle Flint erect wood and cable barriers (with lights on each post) up front as busses and delivery trucks were continuing to break the concrete the previous board has poured in hopes of resolving the situation. To the right of the exit a hole was over a foot deep and this was filled with concrete at the time.

11.  *In October 2014, we invited the mayoral candidates to speak to the neighborhood. Attendance was extremely low with 7 families in attendance. David Amrhein made it clear that Richland would not be receiving city sewer in the near future, if ever.  *In February 2015, Scott Gee solicited bids for the front fence as well as gating the two ditch entrances on Greenwood Lane.
