The meeting was called to order at 7:11 PM by the President, Sharon Cook. Attendees were board members Sharon Cook, Leon Leonard, Karen Purvis, Marilyn Fangman, and Maureen Walsh. Bob Cook, D&D Chair also attended.

Secretary’s Report. The board minutes from the March meeting were approved. Leon will contact Sam about notices for the upcoming annual meeting and posting minutes from meetings so far this year.

Treasurers Report. Income included dues payments and interest. The expenses were the new mailboxes which came from the reserve account, and landscape maintenance. Two properties owe all or part of 2012 dues. Nine properties (including the previously mentioned two) have not paid anything toward 2013 dues. Maureen will ask the attorney to send a lien warning letter to the one property that has not paid any of 2012 or 2013 dues.

D and D Committee. Bob will check for garage light violations and then send letters including violations from the March walk-around to all homeowners. Those without violations will receive thanks for well-kept properties.

There was also conversation about parking. Mobile homes and commercial trucks may not be parked in the neighborhood, but there is uncertainty about how long one of these vehicles may be parked, and whether a larger fine can be levied for a repeat offender of these regulations. This will be discussed at the next meeting.

Landscaping. The landscaping maintenance company has trimmed trees in the neighborhood to above 7 feet so that there is room to walk underneath. Charges for this trimming will be included in the April treasurers report. Maureen will talk to the landscaping company about planting more colorful plants around the signs.

Annual Meeting. The annual meeting will be May 13 at 7 PM at Karen Purvis’ home, 510 28th Avenue SE. A vote was taken to eliminate the door prize for this year’s meeting since there is no evidence that offering the prize provided an incentive for anyone to attend the meeting. Committees for the new year will include Finance, D&D (including walk-arounds), Paint Palette, Welcoming, and Social Events. Board members should ask other residents if they want to become board members. Sharon will prepare the letter notifying homeowners of the annual meeting and asking for nominations to the board. Maureen will prepare the mailing labels and stamped envelopes. Marilyn will print the letters, stuff the envelopes and mail the letters on or about April 20. Nominations must be returned to Maureen by May 4. Leon will send an email reminder of the meeting on May 9. Because of a May 31 deadline for IRS notification, a board meeting will be held soon after the May 13 annual meeting to elect officers for the new year.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 PM.
