Board Meeting June 11, 2012

The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM by the President, Sharon Cook. Attendees were board members Sharon Cook, Leon Leonard, Maureen Walsh, Karen Purvis and Amy Mesec.
Secretary’s Report. The minutes of the May meeting were approved as edited.

Treasurers Report. Expenses for the month were for landscape maintenance, Annual Corporation filing fee, 15 yards of bark, and stamps. Three properties are delinquent in dues payments. One is delinquent by more than 1 year and will be sent an additional reminder that a payment schedule is needed to avoid a lien.

D and D Committee. A letter was sent to all homeowners regarding moss in yards. Additional material was sent to several homeowners who have not adequately screened electrical equipment. A photograph of good screening was included.

Special Projects Committee. Amy Mesec reported on decisions for the BBQ. She will contact the bounce house vendor about requirements for water for the water slide. The board authorized $239 for the bounce house rental. The board also authorized purchase of facepainting colors for about $30. Karen has a canopy to use for the event so Bob only needs to fine one. The bounce house will operate from 5:30 to 9, and parental approval and parent presence will be required for any children using the bounce house. Residents will be asked to bring a dessert.

Irrigation – There was some difficulty having the irrigation water turned back on this month (after the winter shutdown) due to confusion about the turn off location. The city turned the water off at the foot valve in the street, then tried to turn it back on from the meter, which was unsuccessful. After several conversations with the Utility Dept, they finally sent someone out who turned it back on from the foot valve.

Reserve Requirement Rule – Sharon attended a meeting about a new state law requiring HOAs to have reserves available for financial requirements. Slurry seal and asphalt replacement were mentioned as specific significant infrequent expenditures as well as tree replacement which may be needed every 30 to 60 years. The RCW citation for the rule is RCW 64.34.308(4). Leon will research the rule and report back to the board.

Rats – Rats have been observed in the northern part of the neighborhood. The Board decided to hire an exterminator to determine which properties have rats so that we can notify the properties that they must hire an exterminator promptly to exterminate the rats. Maureen and Leon will contact exterminators for bids on the survey.

Property maintenance – After considerable discussion, the Board asked Leon to draft a standard letter to homeowners and renters to be sent when properties are in disrepair.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:26 PM.
