Old Business: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Block Watch update <\/strong>\u2013 Diane reported that a small group of people\nattended the meeting.  The Block Watch\nrepresentative discussed blight, theft, and trespassing in the surrounding\narea.  Also discussed was how to proceed\nwith forming a Block Watch group in our neighborhood.  Suggested that Block Watch leaders for each\nblock or area of the community be the next step.  Suggested to add this issue to Annual\nMeeting.<\/li>
  2. Landscaping issues<\/strong> \u2013 Landscaping was discussed in depth.  The fact we have previously solicited lawn\nmaintenance crews and have discovered we are too small for the large companies\nand too large for the small operators. \nThe cost of landscaping will increase next year.  The cost increase is necessary because our\ncommunity is not made up of look alike yards so the landscapers have to take\nmore time to meet the needs of each unit.<\/li>
  3. Tree trimming and removal<\/strong> \u2013 The cost of trimming the 32 trees that need\nto be trimmed is $2750 and will take several days to do.  The trees are trimmed so they do not hit the\nroofs of the houses or damage any property. \nThe Cypress trees on 7th<\/sup> Avenue are looking distressed and\nwill be removed.<\/li>
  4. Sprinkler Expense update<\/strong> \u2013 The sprinkler system repairs so far this year\nhas cost an average of $88.50 per home. \nBill Durham, who fixes the sprinklers, reports most of the problems are\nin the drip lines.  <\/li>
  5. Lawn update<\/strong> \u2013 This committee consists of Randy Pence, Diane Palmer, Lauri\nDemetres, Barb Dickerson, Jayne Kerr and Jean Long.  The committee is in the process of getting\nbids to find out the cost of replacing the grass areas in front of homes with\ngravel, artificial turf or leave them as is. \nSo far two companies have met with Jean concerning putting in artificial\nturf and they are to report back to her soon. \nThere are several gravel landscapers that have been asked to bid but we\nhave not heard back from them. The committee\u2019s plan is to have a complete\nreport ready for the Annual Meeting in April<\/li>
  6. Voting on rental issue update<\/strong> \u2013 As of this meeting, there have been 78\nballots collected concerning this issue. \nAll ballots are due by December 1, 2019. \nThe results will be reported as soon as possible.<\/li>
  7. Community picnic update<\/strong> \u2013 There was a small turn out at the\npicnic.  About two dozen people showed up\nbut they seemed to enjoy themselves.  The\nBoard needs to better inform the community about this event.<\/li>
  8. Community yard sale update<\/strong> \u2013 There were a few people who participated in\nthe yard sale.  Stu and Joe put the sign\nout Friday before the sale.  Recommended to\nput the sign closer to Moon Valley Park and have it up for 5 or 6 days before\nthe event.  Again we need to communicate\nevents better.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
