Minutes for Board Meeting on February 21, 2001

Attendees: Marie Martel, Michael Ricci, Nancy Monaco, Patty Banser, Rosa Lee Simmons, David Cronin, Mike Smith, Walt Fedourich, Shawna Davitt and Agnes Woodworth.

1. Shasta Pools has replaced the broken umbrella bases in the pool area.

2. Water bills still continue to soar. There was a suggestion to convert all landscaping to desert

type and cut off the landscaping water. There were several objections to the idea. It was agreed to turn off the sprinkler portion of the meters and try to determine how much of our usage is attributable to landscaping. Michael Ricci, Walt Fedourich, Patty Banser and Shawna Davitt volunteered to do the monitoring. We then will have a better idea what part of our expenses are due to that usage. We then can make a better decision. The City of Phoenix will test water pressure and install pressure valves at no cost to us if it is determined that they are needed. Mike Smith will investigate moving the timer control box at 5839 outside to the common area.

3. Financial reports were presented. There are four owners with delinquent dues.

4. Our insurance agent has notified us of a large increase in premiums. Mike Smith is taking

three bids for a replacement policy. A special Board meeting will be called to review those bids when they are received.

5. A proposal for garbage collection by a different company was tabled. It was the consensus that our present contractor is doing a good job.

6. A hole in the east wall was caused by our next door neighbors and they have agreed to repair and paint it at their expense.

7. A question of parking in the fire lane at 5838 was raised. It was determined that those vehicles be treated as vendors since they are there to perform service to the residents.

NOTICE

Please try to conserve water.

All garbage containers must be kept INSIDE patio areas or garages

so that they are not visible from the common areas.

If yours is not in compliance, please move it to avoid incurring a fine.

The next scheduled Board meeting is Wednesday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the pool area.
