TREASURER: Maureen Walsh
Maureen summarized finances for this past year and provided spreadsheets for the actual 2017 budget, as well as the 2018 expected budget. Income received for the first quarter of 2018 were from dues payments. Expenses were for landscape maintenance and costs associated for our annual meeting preparation. Future expenses will be for any water leaks and/or replacement of irrigation lines when our water is turned on for the summer. If you see a leak in the irrigation system, please email Maureen at mkw23477@msn.com. She will get back to you. Maureen will also be transferring funds from our checking account into our reserve account.
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT : Bob Cook
No report at this time.
GROUNDS: Bob Cook
Bob summarized the responsibilities and differences of both committees. The walk around for the first quarter has not been completed. Further discussion of procedures and timelines will be done at the next board meeting in May.
FINANCE : Don Kelley
Don led a discussion of the ongoing need for our HOA Board and Committee Volunteers. We discussed whether to keep our board “in house” or to turn it over to a management company. After discussion about what is expected from a management company vs our community keeping our HOA, it was unanimously voted on to keep our HOA Board in our community. Our dues have remained the same since 2001. We discussed the need to raise our dues to meet our ongoing expenditures, as well as keeping our reserve fund funded to encompass our 5-10 year plan. Further discussion will be at our board meeting in May.

Old Business:
Sharon identified projects that have been completed this past year. Two pet waste stations installed in both the front and back common area-thanks Bob Cook. Three picnic tables installed in our front common area-thanks Eric Daniels for ordering/installing them. Plants, shrubs were either thinned, removed or transplanted. Sunshine Landscape put down the beauty bark. Special Projects committee- thanks Brittany Vessels for community garage sale, annual BBQ, and Halloween festivities.
Outstanding Issues:
Parking – continues to be an ongoing issue, as space is shared and is limited. Our perimeter homes have parking for four cars. Some, but not all, homes on our interior have parking for two cars. Please remember that our city street is shared parking. Please park in front of your home if possible, and facing the correct way.
Next meeting will be on Wednesday, May 23, 7pm, at the home of Karen Purvis. 510 28th Ave SE. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meeting adjourned at 8:50pm
