- Reviewed and approved
last meeting’s minutes.

-
The board decided at the
last meeting that names would be posted in the minutes
of any homeowner that is delinquent in paying their
dues. This warning was also placed in the letter given
to homeowner’s for 2008 dues.
|
-
There was further
discussion about changing late fees for the future. In
the 2008 letter it is stated that a late fee of 15% per
annum will be charged for all late payments. To raise
this fee, we would need to take it to vote at a future
board meeting. We have not ruled this out, but will
discuss it further if we continue to have problems.
|
- Larry presented copies
of the budget which included all incoming and outgoing
expenses for 2007. We are currently under budget due to
many resale packets being sold this year and a dry
summer which resulted in fewer lawn cuttings.
|
- Discussion of the
walking trail continued from our last meeting. We had a
quote of $300 to remove the tree’s behind the Geissel’s
house. They will remove the trees and spray the roots to
prevent any future growth. We will hire this contractor
in the Spring.
|
- There was a quote of
$3227 to sealcoat the walking path. Due to this high
price, we will continue to get other quotes and plan to
take action in the Spring.
|
- An additional quote of
$2160 was given to rip out and repair the portion of the
path that was damaged from the trees. We will put this
on hold until next year, to distribute our high costs
over 2 years.
|
- There was further
discussion regarding the trees that need to be replaced
at the front trail. We believe these trees have already
been replaced once, so we will contact some landscapers
to see if there is a problem with the soil, etc. We will
make a decision in the Spring about whether or not to
replace them.
|
- We are looking into
getting a new landscaper for this upcoming year. A quote
came in from someone new who feels they can make a
significant difference in the appearance of our common
ground areas. The board agreed that we should increase
the landscaping budget to improve the quality of the
work being performed. Larry will get a few other quotes,
then we will make a final decision before the first
Spring cut.
|
- Decision was made to
change the fee for resale packets from $175 to $250.
Other associations have these fees, and this is closer
to what the average going rate is.
|
- Concern was raised
over the quantity of trash that is getting blown around
into the common area woods. We would like to remind
everyone to take responsibility for their trash and
their trash cans. Please be considerate and pick up any
trash that blows out of your cans/bags at trash
collection time.
