  • Ms. Weidner stated that the previous meeting’s discussion had mentioned Magee’s Path and whether it was adequate for travel. It was noted this is not mentioned in the memo.
  • Mr. Eisner also asked whether there was a need to put the topic of the ownership of the land at the Magee’s Path line into the memo. Ms. Malkin noted that she did not add this topic to the memo due to the fact that she felt the issue is not within the purview of the Board.
