MINUTES

TREASURER’S REPORT:

Chris noted all as usual.

 

 Board is requesting what the new interest rate would be on the CD at Alliance which matures in May this year with an eye to moving it back to a local entity probably Edward Jones so all those CDs will be in one place and easily accessible. Pam of AMS will get the new rate in advance of the maturity rate.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

The board appreciates architectural request information new since previous meeting reports.

 

 In the meeting report, the board would like the compliance report after a tour consisting of only new reports with name, address, non-compliance issue, and which letter sent.

 

The community fence on 20th street between 176 and 180 was damaged by a vehicle and Carol will ask the original fence installer, Marc of Executive Care and Dave May, also a vendor with AMS  to provide a bid for that and the tree on the community sidewalk which is lifting the sidewalk to a dangerous level.  To expedite repairs, bids will be sent by e-mail and will provide for unanimous approval and be part of the next meeting and minutes.

 

 Discussing  the path which is on 24th and ends at the cyclone pasture fence is tabled until the next meeting.  It is vulnerable to graffiti and needs repairs.

 

 RESOLUTIONS: to be reviewed, and changed or approved in a meeting so can be mailed to homeowners with annual assessment coupons.
