ACTION ITEMS
Action Item (Davis & Wilson): ASL and IDA should prepare a list of GSN stations for which vault sensors cannot be converted into postholes or boreholes.
Action Item (Hafner): Draft a one-page summary of the vault-sensor-replacement problem and possible solutions. Send to Maggie Benoit. Also, update her more regularly so that this issue is near the forefront of her mind (i.e., should funds become available).
Action item (Park): Update the charge in the Gesign Goals Committee document to reflect new dates and milestones. Get board approval for possible WG members not on the original document; perhaps this can be done over email.
Action item (Park): Populate and charge the committee by May 1, 2019.
