Committee Reports:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Architectural Committee Report: <\/strong>Diane Welch introduced members of the TAC Committee.  Updates. to the TAC guidelines were provided to attendees and will also be posted on the website.  Jean thanked the TAC for their hard work over the past year.<\/li>
  2. Welcome Committee:<\/strong>  Judy Gardner announced members of the committee and said that the 2 new families that have just moved into the community will be visited soon by a member of the committee.<\/li>
  3. Annual HOA fees\/operating expenses\/irrigation options:<\/strong>  Stu presented reports on the operating expenses which showed the following allocations:  Painting 25%; Landscaping 48%; Pool 15% and overhead 8%.  Stu said that since the community was built in 1986 there is a lot of wear and maintenance required \u2013 especially as it relates to irrigation\/sprinkler systems which are very old and starting to break down.  In 2021 the cost of repairing\/replacing irrigation systems in the community was $23,300.  So far, in 2022, the cost is $5,330.  However, all of the expenditures do not benefit everyone in the community; Some people have paid to replace\/repair their own front yard irrigation systems; some have not yet incurred any expense.  Stu put forth some options to consider for the future to manage this increasing \u2013 and large \u2013 expense items in order to avoid having to constantly raise fees:
    1. Residents pay for adjustments to timer boxes (often $20)<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>
      1. Residents pay for valve box repair (often $300\/$500)<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>
        1. HOA pays up to $250 irrigation expense for the year \u2013 homeowners pay the rest<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>
          1. HOA pays up to $150 irrigation expense per year\u2013 then HOA pays 50%\/homeowner pays 50%<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>
            1. No change: annual dues increase (historically $10\/month increase annually)<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Nothing will be decided now.  The Board will review the expense in October when the 2023 budget is being developed.  However, the Board would like input from homeowners before having this discussion and encourage them to send comments\/recommendations\/feedback to Randy Vinson, HOA Administrator.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
