f.Update on $129,599 Loan – I have recommended to the PSA Board that they pay off the current balance due of $206,632 which consists of a June 30, 2011 principal- only balance of $129,599 on the 5% interest loan and a balance of $77,033 on the interest free loan. Likewise, I recommend that the Board of Supervisors waive the five percent interest on the amounts owed by the PSA. These recommendations are based on the relatively good financial position of the PSA and the Board of Supervisors making it easier to compromise in addressing the matter.

g.Eternal Flame Update - After an exhaustive search, we are not able to find a readily available quantity of the exact rock to match the Stone Courthouse. Therefore, the mason we are using has proposed a matching rock which is a cultured, manufactured stone. The total cost for all rock work related to the eternal flame will not exceed $6,000. We will have samples of this rock to show the Board at Monday's meeting.
