Full Summary of Meeting
Attendees: 6 home owners and 4 board members: Rick Couch, Mike Wilson, Deanna Gallo, and Sue Nelson
Review of Anticipated 2016 Budget
Proposal of $300 per household for the year provides an operating budget of $23,400
Last year our expenses were ~$21K. This would provide a buffer of $2,400 for 2016 if our expenses remain the same.
Review of Reserve Funds
We do have some funds in reserve. It was noted at the meeting that these reserve funds may be affected should we experience a significant, unexpected expense (a selection of which are highlighted below in upcoming & long term expenses).
Review of 2015 Expenses
New street light installed
Fixed pond electrical box
Shut down Shanghai Road irrigation system
Court common area maple tree trimmed
Repair to a fallen street sign
Review of upcoming & long term expenses
20 year old irrigation system. Continued maintenance & repairs. Full system replacement possible in the future.
Retention pond. There is natural erosion and silt gathering in the pond over the years. This may need to be dredged as it continues to fill with sediment.
Ash Tree Removal. There are 5 dying trees in common area that are to be removed early 2016.
Covenants Review. Our covenants were last updated in 1993. We’re currently reviewing the covenants to update the document for our current & future needs around certain items including landlord agreements, homeowner responsibilities, and compliance. Attorneys fees may be part of this project during 2016.
Front entrance landscaping. To keep our community looking great, we will be working with a landscaper in 2016 to review our long term front entrance landscape plans.
Street maintenance. There are many cracks throughout the community on the roads. The board anticipates we may be faced with repairs eventually.
At this point in the meeting, the board moved to vote on the Proposed 2016 Budget.
Vote passed unanimously. It was decided that there would be dues of $300 for 2016 per household. These dues are due March 1, 2016.
