   2. Canales wished the teacher in charge to work with someone other than Parks and Rec but they preferred to meet and solidify garden design
   3. Signage to include "front-in parking only", handicapped parking, directional signs to discourage folks from driving over grassy areas, sign saying "not a boat launch", and moving sign on road that says "Town Beach".
   4. Foresight will do shoreline engineering
   5. Hugh Page suggested placement of stone and asked if committee preferred granite, Goshen or other. Will bring photos and select at next meeting
   6. Guardrails will be pressure treated wood
2. More business
   1. Contact tree warden to remove dead trees
   2. Go through steps to close beach
   3. Kayak racks to be replaced. White wanted to know is security necessary? Fredsall asked are security lights a good idea?
   4. Playground — Canales said benches in bad shape and probably need replacing. Knopf reminded Canales there was money for new benches and was approved to order 4 benches and 4 picnic tables. Asked, where are they? Canales did not order them but will.
