Board Meeting Minutes from September 14, 2004

In Attendance

• Board members: Cary Ecker, Tiger King, Brian Stern
• Homeowners: Steve Moller, Charlie Hower

CC&R Amendments

• The board received suggested ballot for voting on amendments from lawyer.
• Steve voiced objections to amendments including lack of appeals process, simple majority for future changes, number of Architectural Control Committe members, and too much association control.

Landscaping

• Cary asked our landscaper a month ago to add irrigation to the waterfall. That work has still not occured. Now will most likely be done (along with irrigation of north median) in the spring.
• A homeowner reported a dead tree in the common area that could threaten their home. This will be cut down by a hired tree service.
• Board member concensus is that our landscaper has not been particularly responsive to requests. Brian will see if Shari has a copy of the contract.
• In the past, contact with the landscaper has been through multiple people (Steve, Howard, and Brad) and this has led to some accountability issues. Cary will now be the central point of contact.

Waterfall

• Cary informed homeowners behind the waterfall that the trees that drop leaves into the waterfall will be cut down. This should occur in about three weeks.
• Tiger will install a combination lock box near the waterfall so any number of people can shut it off in case of a problem (i.e. sudsing) without carrying keys.
• Cary will dump anti-sudsing agent into waterfall every three days. Hopefully this will be a more inexpensive deterrent than security lights and/or camera.
• Tiger will look into accent lighting for the waterfall. This may act as a detterent as well.

Other

• The 2004 budget has $10,000 for fence repair and none has been used so far. Some will be spent on fence repair but most likely not all. This can help cover the waterfall overages.
• Tiger reported that the cost to repair the waterfall and the water backflow issues came to $2800.
