meeting to order at 10 AM. Roll was called and 12 members were present.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from May 4,
2017. The minutes were approved as read.
Walt Baker gave the treasurers
report and it was approved for audit. Walt noted that he
received another outrageous bill from PSE&G. After discussing with
PSE&G, they agreed to replace our meter on July 6th with a new
digital meter that will not require reading since they can’t seem to read it
correctly. Walt suggested that we do some pruning to have better access to the
meter.
In

Treasurer’s job on July 1. Walt agreed to remain involved as assistant
treasurer.
