Tiger will check into new lights for the waterfall. He or Brad may be able to get some at a discount.
Rick (of Glenbrook Services) suggests adding irrigation on the lawn near the waterfall; it dries out in summer and moss grows. He suggests removing the lawn, improving the soil, and replanting.

A homeowner expressed displeasure at any plan to develop the South Park area. Cary stated that ther were no current plans to develop it.

CC&R violations and penalties were discussed. It was decided to email Phil Bastian (Association's lawyer) and get clarification on whether we can assess a fine and place a lien if the fine is not paid. Shari will provide email address to Cary.
The need for an Architectural Control Committe to be reinstated was addressed. Tiger King volunteered to be on the committee. This also needs to be clarified with Phil Bastian.

The creek that goes through the South Park area has wandered toward the fence line of several homes and is endangering fences. Cary said that he wants to work to divert the creek with the help of the county.
Shari (Association's bookkeeper) reported that $51,000 in dues have been collected so far. About 50 homeowners have not yet paid and Shari will start sending out late notices. Liens are typically placed on homes if their dues are not paid by June (after a few late notices).
