Tuesday June 7, 2005 Minutes

Board Members present:  Jim Klementisz, Albert McCormick, Pam Ley, John Pritchard, Jeannette Goodwin, and Bob Older
Homeowners present:  None
Meeting location:  John Pritchard’s home

• Reviewed and accepted last meeting’s minutes

• John presented an updated budget for review

• Concern over the wandering guinea hens was addressed in regards to an e-mail received from Mike Washington.
  Mike suggested hiring someone to capture and relocate the hens to another living environment. It is noted
  by the Board that these hens are a loud nuisance to some residents; however, they do eat insects including
  the deer ticks that cause Lyme disease. At this time the Board will not pursue capturing/relocating the
  hens, so as not to set a precedent to control other wildlife in our community

• An e-mail of concern received by the Board on the issue of unleashed domestic cats from Sheri Thompson was
  addressed. Sheri had issues previously noted by the Board with cats defecating in her landscape. She
  currently has an issue with cats scratching the paint on her car, and killing baby bunnies in her yard. The
  Board had contacted Skippack Township in the past and was informed that there are no “leash laws” for
  domestic cats. Since there are township regulations for dogs to be kept on leashes, and to be “cleaned up
  after,” Sheri asks that all cat-owners be responsible and aware of what their cats might be doing to another person’s property. She asks residents with outdoor cats to be courteous of your neighbors, even if there is
  not a specific township law to enforce the issue. The Humane Society has some helpful advice and tips on
  this topic; click onto:
