Bradley Park Estates
Homeowners Association Board
Board Meeting July 8, 2013

The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM by the President, Karen Purvis. Attendees were board members Sharon Cook, Leon Leonard, Karen Purvis, Dan Vessels, and Maureen Walsh. Bob Cook, D&D Chair also attended.

Secretary’s Report. The minutes of the June 10 meeting were approved as revised. After reviews were received from a majority of the board members, the revised minutes were posted on the HOA website.

Treasurers Report. Income included dues payments and interest. The expenses were for landscape maintenance, water for irrigation, and a down payment on the repairs for the HOA signs. One property has not paid 2012 or 2013 dues, and Maureen will ask the attorney to send a lien warning letter.

BBQ Committee. Becky Gore volunteered to coordinate the BBQ but cannot participate on the August 16 date selected. Since she cannot be involved, other board members will pick up responsibilities. Karen will order the bounce house, Sharon, Karen and Maureen will purchase food and supplies, and Bob will put up the tent canopies. Karen will print and distribute notices to the neighborhood.

Palette Committee. The paint palette committee will meet in the fall.

Blockwatch. Dan did a walk-around with a representative of the Puyallup Police Department looking at the security of the outside fence around the neighborhood. Overgrown grass and newspapers are a reminder that houses are unoccupied and vulnerable to vandalism. The police cautioned not to challenge loud or unruly persons in the park overflow lot or the neighborhood, but to call the police non-emergency number. Repeated reports of loud or unruly behavior can result in arrest.

D and D Committee. A request was received asking for more information about failed windows. Bob will provide information to the homeowner. There is a lifetime guarantee on the windows for original owners of homes, but the paperwork is substantial. Maureen has made a claim and can provide information on what is required.

There was conversation about noncompliance of camper parking requirements. Dan will draft a provision for the bylaws to prohibit trailer parking for more than 2 days at a time, and penalties for recurring violations. He will circulate a draft for discussion at a future meeting.

Bob will draft a standard noncompliance form that can be produced with carbonless copies so that better records are available.

Signs. Karen contacted the sign company about completing the sign project by installing additional bolts and caps. She will also request that there be caulking around the signs.
Motion Detector Lights. Motion detector lights that are solar powered are about $100 each. We discussed where lights could be placed to provide lights at the mailboxes and deter vandalism. Further discussion of lights was postponed until fall.

Additional agenda items. 2013/2014 Goals and Common area plantings and benches were deferred.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 PM. The next meeting will be on August 12 at 7 PM at Leon Leonard’s home, 2820 6th Street.
