The meeting was called to order at 3:10 PM by the President, Karen Purvis. Attendees were board members Sharon Cook, Karen Purvis, Leon Leonard, Dan Vessels, and Maureen Walsh. Bob Cook, D&D Chair also attended.
Secretary’s Report. The minutes of the October 30 meeting were approved as submitted. Karen requested that the minutes for the October 30 meeting be posted on the website along with the fine schedule that had been distributed to members with the annual dues statement. The minutes of this meeting should be posted on the website after being reviewed by board members this week.
Treasurers Report. Income included dues payments. The expenses were for landscape maintenance, the closing water bill for the year, and the annual insurance premium. A lien threat letter was sent to one homeowner who did not pay any 2013 dues. The end of the year budget and expense summary will be prepared for review by the next meeting. Maureen will check with Don Kelly about how to present late December expenses in the financial statement.
D and D Committee. A segment of fence along 7th Street has been replaced. The Association is responsible for painting that segment and decided to find a contractor to do that painting. Because of the potential for overspray causing damage, the contractor will be asked to brush or roller the fence and lattice instead of spraying. Bob volunteered to find contractors to bid the job. The painting will be done in May. There were no requests received by the D&D committee for painting or other changes. A brief conversation ensued about what kinds of roofing would be allowed if someone wants to replace their roof, including whether solar panels will be allowed. There was no report on whether the noncompliance letters had been sent.
Leon requested that the attorney used for lien letters might also be used for other legal questions regarding HOA rules and law.
CCR Revisions. Revisions to the CC&Rs will be presented to the homeowners at the annual meeting. Proposed revisions included
• Section 2.09 Fine schedule needs to be changed to specify failure to pay fines will result in a lien
• Section 6.01 Clarification that homeowner has responsibility for grass parking strip in front of home, as well as trees
• Section 10.01 (b) Trailers, fifth wheel, utility etc.
• Section 10.01(d) Provision for on-street parking to be consistent with Puyallup Municipal Code (PMC10.36.110) which specifies that cars cannot be parked for greater than 3 days.
New Business. Karen received an inquiry from a homeowner regarding somebody putting trash in their trash can and spilling trash from the can. Several suggested that the homeowner not put out their trash until Friday morning, since it is not usually collected until nearly noon.
Bob and Dan will put rocks at the corners of the back common space to prevent vehicles from running onto the grass and damaging sprinklers. Bob will consult with the mailman about putting pavers in front of the mailboxes to prevent cars from driving onto the lawn.

The next board meeting will be February 10 at Karen’s house, 510 28th Avenue.
