*Al moved that the organization* postpone *approval of the June 2025 Meeting Minutes* *.*  
The motion to **postpone** was adopted without objection.

### Review of Make Music New York

The event went well, with good music and sound. There was room for improvement in terms of attendance. $80 was donated, and the sound permit was covered by Make Music New York, saving us $45.

### July Live Music Series

Our next Live Music Series is July 26th from 3 to 7 pm. We need ice and pizza. Jackie will handle picking up the pizza. We should post on social media to advertise the event.

### August Live Music Series

Gina is not present to discuss.

### Painted Canvas Background for Music Events

Jaz and Al are working on this.

### Concrete Cylinder Project

We want to expand the back walkway next to the furthest back plot. The bench that was added has made the walkway very narrow and hard to use. We already have the tools for the job, so there is no anticipated delays. We will dig down 10-12”, and place the concrete conduit in the ground with 17” left sticking out. The estimated work is two 6-hour days. The exact timeline will be determined.

*Liz moved that the organization* approve the Concrete Cylinder Project as documented.  
The motion was **adopted**.

### Circular Pit Wall Repair Project Progress

The cracks have all been filled. Wood planks can be added for backing.

### Re-evaluate Musician Travel Compensation

Gina is not present to discuss.

### Revisit plans regarding improving the brick walkway

No update on this item.

### Revisiting MLT Financial Sponsorship

No update on this item.

### Sealing Circular Deck Seats & Floor

The supports under the circular pit are rotting. Applying deck sealant will prevent further deterioration. Ross proposes we sand the wood, then seal. The price is estimated to be $39.99, and we already have the tools necessary. We won’t apply the sealant until after the edges of the deck have been properly rounded around the surrounding rocks.

*Ross moved that the organization* allocate $50 of garden funds towards deck sealant for the circular pit.  
The motion was **adopted**.

### Reallocating Garden Lumber \[tabled\]

No update on this item.

*Meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm.*

**Our next meeting will be held on Monday, August 11th, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, starting promptly at 6:30 pm.**
