HOMEOWNER INPUT
One homeowner attended and wants the
association to do something about dogs off leash but already was called into
animal control and a neighbor’s camera surveilling his backyard and objecting
to the restriction on signs and a difficult neighbor blowing leaves into his
yard. The board provided information on limitations on Board action and that it
was neighbor-to-neighbor issues rather than non-compliance issues. The
sole homeowner left shortly thereafter.
The minutes from May were approved as corrected
and will be posted on the AMS and Clearmeadows website.
NONCOMPLIANCE TOURS
The AMS manager of noncompliance tours who is
very familiar with Clearmeadows was reassigned but Pam said she would try to
keep her in place since she is so familiar with the development and efficient
and the tours get done of all 416 homes in about two hours and since a board
member goes along, that efficiency is very much appreciated.
GRAFFITI
The pocket park was vandalized with graffiti and also the path to nowhere on the south
side of Clearmeadows. It was approved that Carol would be reimbursed for spray
paint to paint the bench, and to cover up the paint on the tar path, and gray
to paint over the graffiti on the fence and Carol volunteered to do the
painting.
INSURANCE
The board approved renewing Clearmeadows insurance policy
The collection resolution proposed by the
attorney was analyzed and discussed. The board agrees professionals have the
skills to create legal documents and previous resolutions may be incorrect.
CM attorney revised resolutions and Pam provided them. The Board discussed and revised the Collections resolution, Pam will e-mail the revision to be finally approved at the next meeting. The Board unanimously rejected the suggestion of an ARC application fee. The other resolutions were tabled for next meeting.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Chris reported nothing unusual in the
financial reports. Chris will be going to Riverview to move the CDs to another
bank for improved interest rates on CDs FDIC insured.
The Clearmeadows annual garage sale signs
were completed and Chris tendered the bill for reimbursement to Pam for
$173.72. This was approved at the last meeting.
TREE ROOTS CUTTING The board wants the tree root cutting to help with lifting of sidewalks
on 20th and 176th to be pursued and Carol will get on that project
as promised with Pacific Landscape.
OWNER
Stephen is discussing with Reserve Study Brian re:
connecting with the County or City about deeded owner
of that small strip once the model home.
TREES REMOVAL
Trees removed without city permits and AMS approval will
be reported the city forester for action.
PACIFIC LANDSCAPE
ITEMS
Pacific Landscape contracts for the bio swale
required by the city and aeration to improve
absorption of irrigation water in the common areas were signed.
Proposed and accepted that the options
proposed annually by Pacific Landscape be approved at one time annually.
TREE REMOVAL
Tree removal / replacement approval requirements
were changed because Clearmeadows board cannot supersede city permission or
denial of street tree removal and replacement. The homeowner must get city
permit which is given to TMG/ AMS management to be put in the file for future
reference in case somebody reports the tree being removed or it is noted during
a compliance tour and at that point the homeowner may proceed with tree removal
per city instructions.
Steve is working on a picnic for the 4th next year.
Steve is researching the city park playground,
tables, and a summer porta potty
Steve also reported that he applied for AND
received a mini-grant to place dog waste
stations in the park. Steve will provide volunteers/hours to maintain the stations.
The Garage sale went off as planned and except for a
shower in the AM one day, the weather cooperated. Note from Carol-it was so nice to meet a few homeowners.
The revised website will allow us to increase communication with
owners who would like to help and participate with park activities.
Anyone interested in commenting on anything related to the
community is encouraged to connect by going to the Clearmeeadows.org or
Clearmeadows.com and fill in the contact form listed on the left menu column.
The Clearmeadows homeowners’ website is now
functioning properly. Any problems noted need to go through Website to the
board who will work with SmartSkill to correct any issues.
There will be future improvements, updates, posting of Minutes and maintenance each month expected to be between $25
and $50 a month. Some past homeowner’s suggestions are better pictures, the
ability to E blast information to homeowners, and FAQs, an “Angie” type list of
vendors used by homeowners. E-blast is set up to get information out to
homeowners signing up for such when homeowners send a message via
Clearmeadows.com.
Also planned
is a survey system for question to gather homeowners’ opinions.
AMS will be asked to provide the e-mail addresses of
homeowners who have given permission to receive community e-blasts.
