Old Business

1. Rental units of delinquent accounts. Leland has sent letters three weeks ago. We haven't collected rent yet. Rent collection should begin in November. This addresses units whose owners collect rent but do not pay their HOA dues. A recently passes law allows the HOA to collect rent directly from tenants to satisfy past due money owed the HOA.

2. Remediation of units that have had water intrusion. Four had been identified. Exteriors have been repaired. No more reports of water intrusions have happened. There may yet be interior damage of affected units that need to be addressed.

3. Property Management. Discussion about Leland's bid. It has asked us for a price. Board considers asking for fee reduction considering fewer paying units. We have bids from two other vendors.

4. Aluminum rear enclosure discussion. An owner wondered why she could not install one. The board responded that it has voted that aluminum does not match the character of the community. Brian Wade said that he was going to learn whether it's feasible to have new extended rear roofs that match the ones already in the community. Another owner said that he had bought a unit on Marble Fawn that had an aluminum rear enclosure already installed when he bought his unit from a bank.

David Hey made a motion that when Aida Martinez sends a rejection for an ARC request that she sends a copy to the board and to Brian Wade. Kimbra Patterson seconded. Motion passed 3-0.

New Business

1. Slowing traffic. Someone suggested speed limit signs. Stop signs were discussed. The difficulty getting speed bumps were discussed. Brian Wade promised to check into it.

2. Someone asked about feral cats and getting rid of them. Consensus seems to be there there is not much to be done.

Next Meeting

November 11, 2010 at the River of Life Christian Church on Krycul Ave.
We need 10% of all unit owners to attend to reach quorum for the budget meeting.
For a 268 units, that would mean 27 must attend.

Open Owner Forum

An owner mentioned that the hibiscus tree in front of his unit was dead and that other flowers were wilting. David Hey mentioned irrigation inconsistencies that are killing some landscaping near the Johanna Avenue entrance to the community. Discussion ensued about doing a walk-through of the community with Patrick.

Adjournment

At 8:46 p.m. John McQuiston moves to adjourn. David Hey seconds. Motion passes 3-0.
