    3. Walk-in is broken…again. Find out how much to replace parts until we can get a brand new one.
    4. Several doors are broken. Replace broken doors and buy metal plates for all doors so they don't split up the middle so easily. Damaged doors will be paid for by the EBA only if they were not abused.
    5. Ceiling tiles are broken. If due to water damage, EBA will pay for replacement. Otherwise, if broken due to pool sticks, etc. actives will have to pay.
    6. The amplifier in the party room is broken. Chooch was looking into fixing this. EBA and active will split the cost of repair. Brothers will rent until the amp is fixed.
    7. Floor tiles need to be sealed, buffed and waxed again. We need to contact the same person who did them last year. EBA will pay for this expense.
