Call to Order: Diane opened the meeting at 6:59 p.m.
Minutes: Stu moved to accept the minutes from the May meeting as distributed by email. Mike seconded. Minutes approved.
Old Business:
1. Parking concerns: Diane has not had any complaints from neighbors. No one has requested placards.
2. Tree Concerns: Jean Long sent letter 5-14-21 and dialogue continues. The tree in question was trimmed in April at a cost of $450 which was paid by the homeowners although HOA offered to apply their $450 toward removing it, the homeowners did not want it removed. In answer to their further question about potential liability caused by the tree in the future, Stu will draft a letter stating that any and all future responsibility/liability for the tree is the responsibility of the homeowners.
3. USPS mailbox/pole repair: Diane is still researching the best options.
4. Lot 88 Wall – Mario quoted $3000 – he’s in Mexico until next month. Another estimate being obtained this week. The lot owner will pay half as required by CCR’s.
5. Update on 530 W. Tierra Buena. Everything is resolved. Closed on 5/17. No need to rehash.
6. Pool shade – Stu will contact Bill G to buy 1 more umbrella for a table.
New Business
1. Architectural Committee report: Re: Bill Goshert’s recommendation that when we take out a tree, we plant another. AC is against this policy. Decided that AC will draft a policy statement that says something like:
If a tree is removed, the homeowner can select a tree or bush from the approved list – IF they want to replace it. The replacement will be planted in the most appropriate place on the property to allow it to thrive and grow. AC will bring the revised statement to the next board meeting.
2. Handyman – Former handyman (Dan) was terminated by the HOA Board for cause. Our current handyman (Jeremy Long) is not licensed or bonded. The HOA wants to be protected from liability, but does not want to place an undue hardship on a handyman working in the community. Randy will contact our attorney to get a recommendation on what is needed to protect the HOA in addition to any insurance we already have. He will update the board on his findings.
3. Capital Reserve. We have $110,068 in Capital Reserves as of 4-30-21. See financial report.
4. Financial Report – Randy distributed the Financial Report and reviewed it with the Board.
Other:
1. Diane reported that Mary Bartlett inquired about the 7th Ave. repairs to the walls- it needs to dry out and then an assessment will be made on what needs to be done this fall. Jean will get back to her with this response.
2. Jody Rhodes reported that she has a concern with her wall and the school’s watering system – it is seeping through. Diane said she will talk to the school principal (Perry Mason) – sure it won’t be a problem to get their help if needed.
Adjourn: Stu moved to adjourn. Diane seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8:24 p.m.
Next meeting: July 14, 2021 Place TBD Respectfully Submitted: Judy Gardner, Secretary
