Old Business
- Architectural Committee Report (Kathy): standard monthly report will be distributed later this week.
- Home Owner at Lot 38 requested payment for landscaping repairs she had to pay for during her project to transition between grass and gravel. The committee agreed to reimbursement of $180.
- Meg DeBorhegyi homeowner of Lot 54 shares a common wall with the HOA that has water damage. The homeowner brought 2 bids for consideration. The board agreed to share the cost of wall repair. Kathy will work with Meg to assure this project is completed. One column and one section will be replaced.
- Kathy gave an update on this project. Mary voiced concern that the red brick was removed from the pool park. We signed a contract received to replace the borders between real grass and gravel, which only applies to about 50-60 homes.
- Ursula brought up the fact that the landscaping company president, Cody, attended our the May meeting and said that his company will replace any sprinkler heads that are broken by landscapers. Ursula will ask Jean to be sure to contact Cody about these situations first to see if they can repair before we use our handyman to do the work. The group reviewed the documentation and communication processes to assure the landscaper addresses the issues. If Jeremy looks at the leak and determines it is landscaper error, Jeremy is to contact Jean and Randy to say it has to be redirected to landscapers. Jean will discuss the a process with Cody that will require a 24 hour turn around time and if not done in 72 hours, the landscaper will be billed after Jeremy completes that work.
- Pool Update – Mary reported on the damage done to the pool area including broken umbrellas and dragging a couch into the pool area. Cameras have been up and down. Some kids also jumped the fences and police were called. Mary will work with the security company as they have not provided the service that was promised.
- Legal Review of Architectural Guidelines – Ursala reviewed the comments from our legal counsel that compared the CC&R to the Architectural Guidelines. Ursala will send the changes to Lisa Holland to incorporate the changes recommended by legal counsel.
- Insurance Premium – the board agreed to remain with the current agency.
- Financial Review – Randy reviewed both the June and July financial reports. The 3 items over budget were not under the control of the HOA but are not significant.
Meeting adjourned to Executive Session at 8:25
