Property Management

• We have signed up with Port Gardner Management to be the property management company for the neighborhood
• Corey Bartholomew from Port Gardner attended and explained the benefits and what would change
• Most frequent HOA complaints are insufficient CC&R enforcement and timeliness of repairs and maintenance - property management should help significantly with these
• One homeowner questioned how difficult CC&R issues are handled - these will still be at the board's discression

Waterfall Status

• The waterfall has been off for a while, due to the complexity of the repairs and the shorthanded board
• The waterfall was damanged when someone let the water out of the lower bowl, potentially damaging the main pump. The current status is unknown.
• Repairs to the waterfall will involve simultaneous electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and landscape work
• Bob Roush suggested a homeowner who runs an engineering company who can do this type of work. We will proceed with Bob's suggestion to get an understanding of the current state
• Two homeowners asked that they be kept in the loop of the waterfall status.

Board Member Elections

• The terms of Brian and Tiger are up as of this meeting
• Don Davies was elected the new board President
• No other homeowners volunteered for the remaining positions but Sara Blair (who had to leave early) expressed interest in the Secretary position
