Minutes for Board Meeting on April 19, 2000

Rosie O'Meara, Marie Martel, David Cronin, Mike Smith, Rosa Lee Simmons, Nancy Monaco, Shawna Davitt, Sherry and Seymour Adler and Paul Phillips.

1. The proposed widening of the Bethany Home driveway has been cancelled due to excessive costs. There seems to be a new ordinance that applies to new construction that would probably add at least $4000. to the project. The Board feels that the cost estimates are too prohibitive for our resources at this time. Mike Smith will paint a white stripe in the front driveway to encourage everyone exiting the drive to keep way to the right to allow any incoming vehicles enough room to enter. We thank Patty Banser and Mike Smith for their work researching this project.

2. Financial reports were presented. We have four owners late paying dues. Liens will be filed if any of those owners become 90 days past due.

3. The new landscaping contractor was discussed. Rosie will speak to him about fertilizing and trimming shrubs to keep them from becoming "leggy." Re-landscaping has been suggested for the area next to the garage at 5839. Also, some plantings are needed in front of 5830. If you have comments or suggestions for the gardener, please call Rosie O'Meara at 277-7434.

4. Mike Smith is trying to find a suitable "no-key" lock for the pool and the back gate. There have been too many lost and broken keys lately. We'll keep you posted.

5. Rosie will contact the garbage collector to try to have our collection days changed back to Mon. and Thurs. or at least have pick-ups made earlier in the day.

6. The Board has decided to make a concerted effort to move the sprinkler timers to common

area walls.

7. The wall at 5833 (entrance) will be repainted. Paul Phillips and Rosie O'Meara plan to walk

the complex and assess the need for spot repairs and painting.

NOTICE

Please try to keep far to the right when leaving the complex by the

front drive. That will make it much safer and easier for those entering

to make the turn off Bethany Home Road.

The next scheduled Board meeting is WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 7 p.m. at the pool. All are welcome.
