Minutes for Annual Meeting on
January 30,2005
Attendees:
Walt and Judy Fedourich, Marie Martel, Patty Banser, Jan Ehn, David Cronin,
Nancy Monaco, Michael Ricci, Agnes Woodworth and Kari Root
1. Kari Root presented the
Treasurer's report. She said that the budget for 2005 will be essentially the
same as 2004, so there is no need to increase dues at this time. We have
$44,147 in the savings account which we are allocating to future painting of
the buildings. She also reported that there are three owners delinquent with
dues..
2. Walt
Fedourich presented a paper titled "What happened during 2004". Here
is the text:
1400 feet of fire lane curbs were
painted by volunteers. Hundreds of feet of stucco were painted by volunteers.
60 feet of leaking underground pipes were replaced by contractors. 300 feet of
new sprinkler pipe was installed by volunteers. The rear gate fell down and was
repaired by a contractor. It was repainted by a volunteer. Hundreds of hours
were spent planting new trees and plants—all by volunteers. 65 tons of
decorative gravel was spread by volunteers. The front entrance was beautified
with plants, trees, lighting and paint—by volunteers. Many times, neighbors
were given a helping hand by neighbors who volunteered. These acts are just a
few of all that were actually performed in our complex by volunteers. We are on
the way to maintaining the common areas without dues increases or special
assessments. This would not be possible if not for volunteers saving the
Association money. Let's keep this trend going-get to know your neighbor; get
involved and share your skills, knowledge and kindness with us all. The reward
you get from volunteering is PRICELESS to you and your neighbors. Some of you
haven't noticed that the speed limit here is 5 mph. There are sharp blind
comers and if someone were walking the same time a speeding car came around a
comer, there would be no time to stop. Please obey the 5 mph speed limit. We
don't want to see any of our volunteers run over-we need them!
3. Patty Banser presented a
preliminary color chip board for eventual selection of paint colors for the
complex. We will vote on the selections when she has completed her work.
4. Some vandalism of cars has
occurred in the past month. Be sure to lock your cars and do not keep valuables
inside the cars.
5.

6. Garage sales are prohibited in
the complex because we cannot handle extra traffic. But we did hold one a
couple years ago at the rear gate along Palo Verde Street and it was quite
successful. A few residents have requested that we hold another similar sale.
So start gathering all your white elephants—The tentative date is Saturday,
April 9th. We'll keep you posted.
The next
scheduled Board meeting is Wednesday, February 16th at 7:00 p.m. in the pool
area.
