Board Meeting Minutes

11/13/03

In attendance: James Pontello, Dave Tagliaferri, Sandy Taylor, Robert Law, Leigh Koon, Kara Donley, Barbra McNiel

The following updates were provided:


According to by-laws, sheds/boats are not permitted
All zones for irrigation are now operational. One zone was broken. The timer has been set for every 3 days. George from Malibu Landscaping will fix the Rainguard (gauge) and send the bill for payment.
It is possible that we might have anywhere between $3,000 - $8,000 left after this year.
The annual premium for our liability insurance is $2,428.00. Sandy Taylor agreed to shop premium for next renewal. (exp. Date of 8-27-04).
We cannot place messages on mailboxes. We must either mail or post to our website.
If a Bank forecloses on a property, we do not get the money we laid out to repair the violation.
There is a 6 ft. height restriction for fences.

The following decisions were made:

Engage new landscape company - January 2004 start date. Plantings will take place 2x a year, spring and fall. Plans will be reviewed by the Board/Landscape Committee. Cost to mow (in excess of agreement) is $60.00 each entranceway.
If we can save $25.00 or more with a new Management Service for our lakes, we will change from Lake Doctors.
Inform residents (via newsletter) that outlets by both entranceways are “live” & to remind children not to play behind the plants near the lights.
As of 1/2004, we will no longer have Signature Realty as our Management Company. We will re-evaluate after (3) months (by April 1, 2004) and institute additional checks and balances, including, but not limited to hiring a new Management Company.


James P. to check:

If attorney’s letter is sent to 12155 Mantle (3 letters sent previously), does this mean that the resident has 10 days to fix the violation or the lien takes effect?

Open Items:

1. Need to set guidelines for sheds, cannot address just one. We must address all and whether or not the shed is detracting from the value of our property.

Kara to give proposal back to owner to complete form for approval of shed.


2. Must speak with Corey and ask if he wants to remain on the board. If yes, we need another board member. If not, we do not necessarily need to replace him.
