Ms. Grosser addressed the photo showing a pile of bricks on the property. She stated that they were still there and will be removed from the site to another location. She stated that she had no idea what debris that was in the photo but whatever debris there is will also be removed, Ms. Grosser addressed the photo showing the dumpster near the kitchen and explained that it has never been enclosed and, logistically, cannot be enclosed. She stated it cannot be removed because it is a recyclable dumpster and not a trash compactor, If it was enclosed, she stated, the trash hauler would not be able to empty it. Mr. Neuer asked what goes in the dumpster in question and Ms. Grosser replied aluminum cans. Mr. Quentzel recommended that they ask the hauling company for a cover for it. Ms. Grosser addressed the photo of the trailer with scattered debris around it and stated that the debris will be removed. She questioned why the trailer was even in question and Director Borg stated that it must be removed when construction is completed. Chairman Buechler asked if there was any more construction going on and Ms. Grosser replied no. She said she will have it removed by next week. Mr. Quentzel stated that it appears they still have the construction sign up and to also remove that. Mr. Neuer addressed the photo showing pot holes in the driveway and Ms. Grosser stated that they were new pot holes from this winter. She stated that they will take care of them this week. Ms. Grosser also addressed the condition of the island and stated that it will also be taken care of. She stated everything will be completed within the next week or two. Chairman Buechler asked Ms. Grosser why they need a sign of this size. She stated that the present sign is minuscule and that their visitors are elderly and many people drive right by the facility. She also stated that some also mistake it far Kessler and they try to make a u-turn in their driveway. She continued by saying that they contracted the sign company, who made the Kessler sign, so they could make the sign more visible and not mistake the two signs. Chairman Buechler asked why not make it the size of Kessler’s. Ms. Grosser replied that it can be scaled down if need be. Chairman Buechler stated that the real question is the size they are requesting and do they really need a sign that big. Ms. Grosser stated that Kessler’s sign

d that it can be scaled down if need be. Chairman Buechler stated that the real question is the size they are requesting and do they really need a sign that big. Ms. Grosser stated that Kessler’s sign is built up slightly because of the ground and the size is all about visibility on Pleasant Valley Way; people not bypassing the facility or confusing both facilities. Director Borg stated that she understands the fact they want their sign to be different from the Kessler sign but the design is similar. Chairman Buechler asked if there were any questions from the Board for Ms. Grosser. Ms. Weiss asked if the reason for the size is because of the addition of words on the bottom. Ms. Grosser said yes and having the number on top of the sign is important along with the donor’s names on the sign.
