Minutes for Annual Meeting on January 24, 1999

Attendees: Rosie O'Meara, Jan Ehn, Marie Martel, Walt Fedourich, Mike Smith, Agnes Woodworth, David Cronin, Audrey Lake, Henry Dunn, Megan Shorb, Betty Kizer, Rosa Lee & Jana Simmons, and John Bonar.

It was a nice turnout. We are always striving for more participation by the owners.

1. Tree trimming/removal and vine removal has been completed. The owner-responsible costs have been paid except for one. Rosa Lee Simmons reported that a tree near her property was not trimmed as discussed. John Bonar requested that the large Ficus tree in front of his house be thinned to control its growth before it begins heaving up the sidewalks.

2. Fire lane painting is proceeding. Mike Smith will be adding the lines across driveways soon. He will give a 1 -day notice to affected owners and requests that they not drive over the red paint for about 3 hours after it is applied. PLEASE OBSERVE THESE FIRE LANES.

3. Our old lanterns will be taken to Brunk's Auction by David Cronin. Whatever we can realize from their sale will be found money for our treasury.

4. Mike Smith's leaking ceiling has not yet been opened for inspection. The Board will examine the exposed area to determine if it involves load bearing beams. If it proves to be a structural problem, the Association will pay for structural repair according to the CC&RS. Mike will be responsible for inside repairs.

5. The Treasurer submitted the financial report and budget for 1999.

6. Nominations were opened for Board members for the coming year. Eight owners agreed to serve

on the Board. They are: Rosie O'Meara, Jan Ehn, Marie Martel, Megan Shorb, Mike Smith, John Bonar, Rosa Lee Simmons and Walt Fedourich.

After the general meeting, the Board held a short session to elect officers. The officers are:

Rosie O'Meara, President (277-7434)

Mike Smith, Vice President (234-1804)

Jan Ehn and Walt Fedourich, Treasurer & Co-Treasurer (263-9774, Jan) (266-5581, Walt)

Marie Martel, Secretary (266-7997)

Members at Large: Megan Shorb, John Bonar (264-1070), Rosa Lee Simmons (263-1984)

Jan Ehn agreed to serve as Treasurer if Walt Fedourich would help with the bookkeeping because her job is so demanding. It was agreed to try this arrangement for 6 months to see if it works out well.

YOUR INPUT IS IMPORTANT AND WELCOMED

If you have concerns, suggestions or items that need attention,
