• Volunteers will be contacted to see if we can keep it tidy
• My Fort Worth app can be used to have the spaces mowed

Communications moving forward:

• How are we going to vote in August with COVID situation
  • Written is allowed so we can interpret it as digital
  • We need to have a meeting and quorum for this vote to take place
  • People watching live will be asked to comment that they are watching, along with their names, so we can have a count of membership
  • They will then be asked to email in their vote and we can count the votes
• Newsletter moving forward
  • To cover the cost, given the situation, we should move ahead doing an online newsletter for the fall
  • Thinking of having one in October and that should give the new communications director time to get things published online

Finance:

• Need to have a budget proposed and moved over for the new board to review for the new session
• Go down line by line and make changes based on need and situation

Events:

• Fall and winter events all over the city are all on hold as are the money makers for the rest of the year
