Gate Report, Mar 13, 2007
We purchased a new Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to replace the video tape recorder and malfunctioning temperature-dependent DVR currently in use. [The old DVR does not work reliably when the temperature is below 50 deg.]

The new DVR has:
•	Four video inputs (we will use two, one for the long range camera, one for the close up camera) 
•	Operates from 41 deg F to 104 deg F (we will need a small heater in the guard shack)
•	Records to a high capacity hard disk (160 GB) rather than to video tape, so there will be no degradation of image as the tape ages.
•	Writes any images we want to save to a CD-R disk.
•	Cost was $800.

We plan to install the unit next week.

Volunteers
Volunteers met Sat Mar 10 at the Community House at 9am. 
•	Ray Lauer and Ron Hacker did a great job of picking up trash along the lake entrance road.
•	Marilyn Meyer, Bev Jost, and Sandy Hacker cleaned up the planting area near the guard shack. 
•	Ken Jost, Russ Wilner, Janet Hirsch, and Rich Hirsch trimmed trees and burned existing brush piles.

Dam
I checked on the leak on Mar 1. Still leaking, water still clear and odorless. Temperature increased to 44 deg F from 40 deg F in mid-Feb.
