Minutes for Board Meeting on June 19, 2002

 

We had a very well attended Block Watch meeting conducted by the Phoenix Police Dept.  A robbery detective and two patrol officers presented talks and materials.  About 25 residents attended.

 

1. Kari Root is still soliciting bids from licensed plumbers to detach the crossover to our landscape water meter.

 

2. Landscaping along the west wall is under way by Jan Ehn and Michael Ricci.

 

3. Kari presented Financial Reports and will establish a budget for approval, based on past expenses.  It was also

suggested that  she earmark  appropriate funds for capital improvements and special projects along with operating

expenses.  It was also approved to require cost approvals before making purchases or arranging services

(anything  exceeding $25.)

 

4. Our new Architectural Committee made its first tour of the property on June 1st to assess the

condition of our property, streets and buildings.   We have made two lists of items needing attention…one for the repairs that the Association is responsible for and the other list is for items that is the Homeowner’s responsibility.  The Association will classify their repairs by type and obtain the proper contractor to complete. 

  

  The Homeowner's repairs or infractions that were noted are:

a. Additions to homes that were not approved by the Board.

b. Entry doors and trim that are in need of repair and/or paint

c. Garage doors and trim that are in need of repair, cleaning  and/or paint

d. Patio landscaping that is not maintained.

e. Cat's claw on building walls

f. Torn screens and broken windows

g. Sagging or broken rain gutters and drain pipes

h. Garbage cans visible from common area

i. Pails and boxes piled higher than the patio fence

j. Trees planted within a few feet of homes or walls

k. Cables and wires on the outside of homes visible from common area or by a neighbor

l. Automobile oil leaks  in driveways and carports

Please .....if any of the above items apply to you as a homeowner take care of them immediately. The Board is committed to monthly walk-thru's to see that are CC&R's are being followed and that our complex remains a beautiful place to live.  After this GENERAL notice we will make another walk-thru and then have to give individual notices and fine letters for non-compliance.  If you have any questions call Walt at 266-5581.

 

5. It was also decided to suspend painting discussions at this time for two reasons: we can't afford it and we need to concentrate on necessary "fixes" before taking on the painting project. In the meantime, it has been approved to change our trim and door color from Sealpoint to Crete Semi Gloss.  You don't have to change colors unless you change out a door or just want to paint one.  If you do, contact Walt Fedourich (266-5581) and he will supply you with the necessary paint.

 

6. The Board regretfully accepted the resignation of Rosie O'Meara as our President due to family commitments.  She has served us well for over 5 years and we all are grateful. THANK YOU ROSIE!

 

7. The Board has elected Walt Fedourich as our new President.  Since he has served before, we know that he will do an admirable job.

 

The next scheduled Board meeting is Wednesday, July 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the pool area.
