REPORT OF BOARD MEETING 8/9/88

 

Met with landscape architect and discussed:

 

Plants and trees for removal,

 

The meeting with BFI concerning locations and specifications for 2‑4 cu. ft. dumpsters which will be serviced twice weekly.

 

Replacement/removal of ugly light pole near entrance. Discussed possibility of

Substituting low voltage system in the  landscaping,

 

Pre‑fab curbing to replace certain, rotted railroad ties near the entrance,

 

Plant varieties and tree species with attention to Size, water conservation and‑ low maintenance,

 

Phasing of the landscape plan. Phase I will be the Bethany Home Road area, the entrance, the pool area, removal of large and dangerous trees and dead trees and as much more as our special, assessment will pay for

 

Completed landscape plan shou1d be ready for presentation to all owners by early fall.

 

Due to the scope of this project, the poor condition of our vegetation, the number of trees necessary to remove and the costs, it appears necessary to complete the landscaping in phases over a two or three year time period, with new assessments each year. We will save considerable money by having our lawn service men doing a lot of the work but the estimated need is $30,000.

 

Treasurer reported. Dues are current except for two units ... one in bankruptcy land one in foreclosure. Special assessments are slowly coming in. REMEMBER, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ARE DUE ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 1988.

 

Bids were reviewed for carport ceiling replacement at 5801.

 

Complaints were heard AGAIN regarding cars parked in the fire lanes, obstructing traffic and in front of the security fence on Palo Verde. All residents MUST remember, that the fire lanes were established for the safety of every resident. These rules must be obeyed by each and every resident AND their guests. If any part of the vehicle extends beyond the red line, DON'T PARK THERE! We hope that it won't be necessary to begin having illegally parked care ticketed.
