Even with a new gate, someone can just follow another car through. When we have cars and trucks that damage the gate, how will having a new one prevent that?? Then, WE have to pay to get it repaired - as we have so many times in the past. Since at least one of the Board members has a MBA and is fairly proficient in crunching numbers, why not let them figure out what is worth the expense and how will we recoup the money. The Board members are volunteers (unpaid helpers). If someone wants to devote much of their personal time to the Board, stand up and be seen! We can always use more help.
