The meeting was called to order at 7pm by President Leon Leonard. Attendees were board members Dan Vessels Jr., Maureen Walsh, Sue Harvey, D&D Chair Shawn Magin, and homeowner Eileen Webber.
Secretary Report: the minutes of the July 14,2014 board meeting were approved as written.
Treasurer Report: Income included dues payments. Expenses were for landscape maintenance, tree pruning, and envelopes for mailing. Financial statements are available for homeowners to review upon request. Maureen will follow-up on the issue of trees splitting and whether or not we need to have our trees sprayed. Maureen has now billed all homeowners who owe a year or more in HOA dues.
D&D Committee: no action, per Shawn.
Grounds Committee: Bob, Sue, and Shawn’s original walk-around list was received and it was decided that Shawn and Sue ( and Bob if he is available) will do a repeat walk-around, and then each home owner will get an A, B, or C letter. An “A” letter means there is an issue with the house they must take care of within 30 days in order to be compliant with our CC&R’s; a “B” letter is an FYI to the home owner to let them know of conditions which they may want to attend to, but they are not required by the CC&R’s to do so; a “C” letter is a “Good Job” for home owners whose homes are in complete compliance. The repeat walk-around will happen August 19,2014.
Special Projects: HOA BBQ – Eileen Webber is the chair of this year’s BBQ. Maureen and Eileen will go shopping together for the supplies. Maureen has the list that Karen used last year for this. Leon mentioned we need to purchase more hamburgers and buns for this year. We can use Karen’s garbage can and Eileen volunteered her small yard waste can to be used for recycling. Karen has one good canopy left from last year. Leon will check on renting a second canopy, however, Maureen moved and Sue seconded the motion to allow Leon to purchase a new canopy if necessary. The motion passed. Dan will provide his BBQ, and a wading pool for small children. The following people will bring tables- Leon, Maureen, Sue and Eileen. Karen has the name tags and the forms parents fill out for their children to use the water slide and the ID bracelets that the children need to wear for the bounce house. Sue volunteered to bring her 100′ hose for Leon to use to fill the water slide and wading pool. Leon and Karen have coolers to provide. Jumpin’ Jack & Jill will bring the water slide for set up at 4:30pm.
New Business: Curb striping – Leon received three bids; one unreasonably low and the other two significantly higher that the last time the curbs were painted. The board suggested that Leon see if Stripe Rite will lower their bill so we can go with them. The board authorized Leon to spend $2,000.00 plus tax on the project.
Bark Party – tabled until September meeting.
Dangerous Dogs – This was tabled for now. We will wait to see if the home owner responds in a timely way to our letter stating his back yard fence must be repaired.
Neighborhood yard sale 2015 – we will continue to discuss this. A date could possible be set for spring.
Facebook page – Dan will look into this.
Next meeting will be September 08, 7pm at Leon Leonard’s. 2820 6th St.
Meeting adjourned at 8:45pm.
