A letter with a warning about a possible $25 fine needs to be sent to homeowners who have not taken action on items identified in the last D&D committee letter. This letter should be sent the first of May.

New Business. Leon requested that the attorney used for lien letters might also be used for other legal questions regarding HOA rules and law. Maureen will check with the lien attorney to find out if his firm has an HOA specialist.

The Board discussed whether each property can only be represented by one person on either the Board or the D&D committee. The issue will be discussed at the next meeting. Additional volunteers will be needed to fill vacancies on the Board and the D&D committee if this rule is implemented.
