o       The Board will put on a future meeting agenda to address the Board’s policy to eliminate any bids made by members of the community.

Due to privacy rules, the Board can’t release any information on the members of the community and this can only be done on a voluntary basis. We suggest that if a member wants to work on this, they do so on their own.
