2) CIP/Project/Facilities Updates:

a) Birdloop – Trail asphalt repair ( to bridge ) work will happen in fall 2015. Norah and Glenn will make sure repairs won’t conflict with major EAS work party projects.

b) Noxious Weeds – Ollie reported damage to a Garden Loosestrife sign, and the Lake Platform decking that it was attached to.   Nprah said she'd have someone see to it, since it was a hazard.

c) Community Gardens – Food Bank deliveries as of August 11, 2015 compared to August 11, 2014 (our best year):
    AUG. 11, 2014-----1896 LBS.
    AUG. 11, 2015-----2162 LBS.

We are ahead of 2014 by 266 lbs.

d) East Lake Sammamish Trail construction – South Sammamish Segment A - SE 43rd Way to SE 33rd St - approx. 1.2 miles is currently in final design and permit review.  Construction of the trail and removal of encroachments will not begin until all permits are issued, administrative appeals are exhausted, and a contract is awarded pursuant to the County's procurement process.  The earliest date that construction of Segment A could begin is October 2015.

e) Sammamish River Transition Zone – The final meeting of the Stakeholders Advisory Committee will be October 14th.  I gather that our role as advisors has run its course; there have always been other factors and factions that will contribute to the final design proposal.  Further public meetings will occur as the project advances.

f) Clise Mansion – WIndow repairs, kitchen and porch remodel – some funding has been identified.  Currently working on permits to redo porch and kitchen.   Some work will begin in fall.

g) Concert Venue – For 2016 season, the reserved seating area will have to be replaced.  The existing plastic panels have disintegrated to the point that they can not be used again.

3) Other – SODA replaced 700 feet of split-rail fence along the east edge of the Dog Area. Looks great.
