REPORT OF THE 747EBHRA ANNUAL MEETING

Sunday, January 20, 1991

There were 12 people in attendance at the Annual Meeting.

We reviewed the status of projects completed and begun in 1990.

1. Landscaping was completed with the exception of some fine-tuning. This year's frost damage, however, was severe. Our gardener has indicated that most of the plants and trees will survive with some radical trimming. The very smallest and youngest plants may have to be replaced. Full evaluation will be made in March, after danger of frost is passed.

 2. Six new metal garage doors were installed according to an as-needed survey taken by members of the Board.

The Five-Year Improvement Plan was attacked with vigor, and the results are beginning to become very apparent.

The Board decided to replace the remaining 4 wooden garage doors in the building to be painted so as to have that building's renovations totally complete. (This made a total of 10 garage doors that were replaced in 1990.)

Painting was completed on our first building (west side of back street) with the new colors. All wooden fences were replaced with stuccoed block walls and painted to match the buildings. We did have a problem with some residents ignoring the 30-day advance request to remove vines and other obstructions to the painters. They will be billed for the removal of those obstructions. We ask for everyone's cooperation in the future.

Any wooden gates in the designated building were replaced with wrought iron gates. All concerned owners were given the option of ordering upgrades to a standard gate, at their own expense.

Finally, new rain-resistant mailboxes were installed on all 7 units in the building. The response to the improvements has been very favorable.

3. Major structural repairs were made in 1990 to two units, one with a foundation leak and the other with a drainage problem and a separation of chimney from the building.

4. Some units also have been fitted with downspouts to prevent garages from filling up with water during rainstorms.

It is the hope of the Board that we may be able to paint the next building in the spring of 1991, along with the wall replacement, gate replacements, garage door replacements and mailbox replacements. And barring any unforeseen problems, perhaps another building toward the end of the year.

We are planning a "Paint Party" as soon as the weather becomes milder to paint the wrought iron fence at the rear of the complex along Palo Verde Street. We hope you will all consider participating...for getting to know your neighbors, accomplishing a needed task and saving the Association some money so that we can afford some of the things we need and can't do ourselves.

The cable TV committee has not produced a proposal to the Board as yet. If you are interested in participating or assisting that committee, please call chairman, Loren Lake, 277-1287.

Dog problems have continued to plague the complex. Please, dog owners, leash your dogs and clean up after them! If you find dogs running loose, call Animal Control, 269-3491. Mention that 747EBHRA has a letter on file permitting officers to enter the complex.

Parking in the fire lanes is another continual problem, since our parking spaces are virtually nil. You MUST NOT park in the fire lanes. It is hazardous to the other residents should an emergency vehicle need access. And it is inconsiderate to your neighbors. If you see any vehicles parked in the fire lanes, please call Crime Stop, 262-6151.

Nominations were made and all six nominees were elected to the Board. The 1991 Board of Directors is:

Marie Martel, President                    266-7997

Suzanne Bracker, Vice President     277-6399

Lynn Knode, Treasurer                    277-9501

Walt Fedourich, Secretary               266-5581

Jan Ehn                                               263-9774

Sherry Mara                                       230-7868

We hope to have a very friendly, productive and cooperative year and we welcome suggestions, offers of aid, recommendations, constructive criticisms or even compliments!
