The meeting was called to order at 7:06 PM by the President, Karen Purvis. Attendees were board members Sharon Cook, Karen Purvis, Sue Harvey, Dan Vessels, and Maureen Walsh. Bob Cook, D&D Chair also attended.
Secretary’s Report. The minutes of the September 9 meeting were approved as submitted. The minutes were posted on the HOA website. Sue volunteered to take minutes in Leon’s absence.
Treasurers Report. Income included dues payments and reimbursement of an erroneous bank fee. The expenses were for landscape maintenance, irrigation repair, fence paint, and copying. A payment schedule has been established with one of the homes owing back dues. We currently have 13 homes that are rentals.
CCR Revisions A fine schedule is needed to form a basis for fines. The CC&R will need to be changed to specify that failure to pay fines will result in a lien.
D and D Committee. Bob reported that lot 7’s color request was denied because the color was too dark brown. A discussion followed that a paint palette committee is not needed because there are already colors in the CC&R. No vote was taken. The D&D committee needs to stay in communication with the Board on house color and other variance issues and needs to let the Board know if more time is needed to review an application. No action was taken on the fine letter for lot 24. Bob asked whether he should send letters to homeowners who have not yet addressed issues identified in earlier letters. The Board asked that those letters be sent.
A question was raised about why the Association has two separate attorneys. Maureen explained that the attorney who sends lien letters is not on retainer and does those letters on a per case basis. The other attorney has been consulted twice regarding paint approval questions. She is not under a retainer.
Old Business. Murray’s garbage truck has been driving on the grass. Karen has taken pictures of the truck on the grass. Maureen is getting a bid on repairs. If there has been damage to the sprinkler heads, which will be addressed in the spring when the water is turned back on.
HOA Dinner. December HOA dinner will be December 5 at 6:30 at Black Angus. Spouses are invited.
No meeting will be held in November. There will be a brief meeting at the HOA dinner.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:19 PM.
