HOMEOWNER'S MEETING

October 21, 1980 10 Present

Treasurer's Report was given.

President reviewed collections and expenditures for the year. Total collections and 1979 balance: $30,460. Total expenditures were $24,724, with approximately $815 presently outstanding.

Our gardener has not been on the premises for three weeks, yet he has indicated that if we do not pay him a full month's fee, he will cancel our contract. It was discussed and decided that we would pay him for one week's portion of the monthly fee plus $50 for the rye seed he supplied, and cancel his services.

Screening for a maintenance man is to be pursued vigorously to assume the duties of the gardener, the pool service and for general maintenance in the common areas of the complex.

Late charges for delinquent Homeowners' Dues were discussed. It was approved that heretofore, a late charge will be levied if dues are not received by the Treasurer by the time the next month's billings are sent out.

TERMITES were found within our complex (5806). This is the second time they have been reported in the area. We remind you that it is each individual homeowner's responsibility to provide termite inspection/protection. Melanie Buros (5806) has offered to put any interested homeowner in contact with her pest control agent for a FREE termite inspection.

Curbing vs. Railroad Ties was discussed at length. The old railroad ties are in horrible condition and something needs to be done soon. The pro-curbing faction argues that curbing would: (1) be permanent (2) hold the water within the planting areas (3) prevent sprinkler head damage (4) cost less than to replace ties. The pro-railroad ties supporters argue that the railroad ties: (1) look better aesthetically (2) have lasted 8 years (3) could be backed with some kind of plastic or metal to keep the water away from them. The Board requests that all homeowners provide their feelings on the subject. Please use the form below and return it with your next Homeowner's Dues payment, or put it in the black mailbox by the pool.

The McFadden unit is $800 in arrears. She was sent a registered letter requesting payment, which she ignored. It was approved to retain a lawyer to collect these delinquent fees.

Enclosed is a copy of the proposed letter to new residents. All Homeowners are encouraged to suggest revisions, additions, deletions, etc. Please put your suggestions in the black mailbox near the pool.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:20.
