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

  1. Block Watch update:<\/strong>  Diane\nreported that neighbors have volunteered to be in charge of different areas of\nthe community for the Block Watch Program. \nJill Haley and Barb Runquist will be in charge of 6th<\/sup>\nDrive.  Lisa Holland and Giovanna\nMcDermott will be in charge of 6th<\/sup> Avenue.  Jill Hunt will be in charge of 5th<\/sup>\nDrive (Jean Long offered to help if needed.) Karen Kukey will be in charge of\nTierra Buena.  Jane Scoville and Billie\nHorn will be in charge of Marconi.  <\/li>
  2. HOA:<\/strong>  FYI  Our attorney offers lectures concerning HOA\ninterests.  Also Mulcahy Law Firm has\nvideos available concerning HOA.<\/li>
  3. Legal information:<\/strong>  Section 2.3\nof the By-Laws explains what entails a quorum. \nAfter reviewing this section, our Attorney advised they be re-written to\nclarify a quorum.  Mary will contact\nAttorney for sample.  By-Laws do not require\nhomeowners\u2019 votes.<\/li>
  4. Tree Trimming update:<\/strong>  The tree\ntrimming has been completed for this cycle. \nThe cost came to over $4700.  The\nincrease was due to the removal of a large pine tree at 15827 6th<\/sup>\nDrive and having to replace the sidewalk it was destroying.  The concrete work cost $650.  The cypress trees on 7th<\/sup> Avenue\nwere removed and we do not plan on replacing them at this time.<\/li>
  5. Sprinkler Expense update:<\/strong>  The\nrepairs to the sprinkler systems are averaging approximately $100 per house per\nyear.  When the timing box for the\nsprinkler system needs to be replaced the cost is approximately $125 per\nbox.  It is requested by the Board that\nthe homeowners LEAVE THE TIMING BOXES ALONE.<\/li>
  6. Lawn Committee update:   <\/strong>Jean thanked all of the members of the\nlawn committee for their hard work in getting the data that is being\nprocessed.  Jean will present an update\nto the cost of the upkeep of the lawns at the Annual Meeting in April.<\/li>
  7. Review of Christmas Party:  <\/strong>The party was a great success and everyone who attended seemed to\nhave a good time.  Unfortunately, the\nrain started so we had to end early. \nNext year we plan to communicate the event earlier and to encourage more\npeople to attend.  We have a heater in\nthe tent and plan to have a larger tent next year.  The Christmas Party is usually scheduled for\nthe first Saturday in December.<\/li>
  8. Financial Report:  <\/strong>Most of our homeowners remembered that the fees have risen to $120\nper month.  Randy sends out emails if he\ndoes not receive the fees from a homeowner. \nThe resealing of the streets will be a significant expense this year.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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

    1. Homeless Woman:<\/strong>  There\nwas a woman who appeared homeless in our neighborhood.  She was trying to open the gates at different\nhomes.  Please be aware of your\nsurroundings and if something unusual is happening, contact the police by using\nthe 911 number if it is an emergency and, if it is not an emergency, dial\n602-262-6151.<\/li>
    2. Activities committee:  <\/strong>We discussed starting an activities committee to help us better\ncommunicate with our homeowners and to help create fun activities such as the\npicnic and the Christmas party.  Several\nnames were mentioned.  Mary will be\ngetting in contact with these people.  If\nanyone else would like to be on this committee, please let us know.<\/li>
    3. Annual Meeting Plan:  <\/strong>The Annual Meeting of Tamarac at Moon Valley is scheduled for\nApril 4.  Mary is checking with Saint\nPaul\u2019s Catholic Church to see if we can rent a room there for the meeting.  We also discussed if we could rent a larger\nroom and include a picnic potluck after the meeting so everyone can chat.<\/li>
    4. Solicitation of new members:  <\/strong>We will have two Board member spot up for election at the annual\nmeeting.  One of our Board members will\nnot be running for reelection.  It would\nbe outstanding if some of the other homeowners would step forward to run for\nthese openings.<\/li>
    5. Demo of computerized voting system:  <\/strong>Mary demonstrated to us how smart phones can be used for recording\nvotes in an election.  This would allow\npeople who have this type of phone to vote electronically.  The cost is estimated at $10 per home.  Of course, people who do not have these\nphones or do not wish to vote by phone will be given paper ballots to fill out.<\/li>
    6. Pool resurfacing:<\/strong>  It has\nbeen 10 years since the pool has been resurfaced.  The pool is in need of resurfacing.  The cost will be about $13,000.  It was noted that several contractors were\ncontacted to bid on this job.  Unfortunately,\nonly one showed up to bid on it.  Mary\nmoved that the pool be resurfaced before spring.  Pauly seconded the motion and the motion\npassed.  Mary will notify CDC Pool so our\npool can be scheduled for resurfacing.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Adjourn:  <\/strong>Pauly motioned that the meeting be adjourned, Diane\nseconded.  The meeting adjourned at 8:40\npm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
