Committee reports –

Hospitality – One home will come up for sale soon.

Lawn care – Allen noted World of Green has been working around rainfall events and everything is in good condition.  DeLoyd reported he had idled the irrigations system for few days, but it was now back in operation.

Common’s area – Dayle and Paul and DeLoyd reported on the Commons area and related all the work contracted with Christensen Tree Service, Inc. had been completed.  Dayle reported a pine tree was dying in the Thies Cove Island and will be added to next tree bid.  He also noted that one resident had asked if three bids were required for tree cutting as he felt the Christensen Tree Service charged more than others.  Dayle advised him that the board had found Christensen’s work very cost effective and costs for cutting one tree should not be compared to a large contract that includes twelve or more trees.  The board also discussed the complaint from Dale Staehr regarding the ash tree that was removed.  He talked to three board members and confronted the workers. 

Fourth of July Parade – Allen and Bev discussed the once again outstanding parade.  Allen noted he was pleased to lead the parade and Bev noted everything was well organized and blocking the street for a short time improved safety.

Newsletter items – Will cover the parade with pictures and may have something regarding tree removal.

Follow up from Annual meeting – Louis indicated he had reviewed the notes from the annual meeting and suggested no further action was necessary.  John noted his pleasure the residents

 were supportive of the dues increase for both accounts.  The July agenda includes the terms of office for members.  All officers and assignments for the year remain the same.

Policy statements – Developing two policy statements was discussed. One for the Townhouse irrigated area and a second for the Commons.  The Townhouse policy statement will include requests for plantings,maintenance of plantings, (new residents often think the plantings are taken maintained by the Association), drain spout maintenance and other items.  The Commons statement will focus on trees planting to include an approved list of trees to plant with an approved location for each tree planted. 

Web site update – The current website requires updating as it is very cumbersome to use to post new information.  Louis requested some outside assistance will be required.  John indicated the funding could come fully from the Townhouse account with an adjustment made next year with the Annual account. Louis will get a cost-estimate and provide it to the board for consideration.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:02 p.m. The September meeting will be held at the DeLoyd Larsen residence.  There will not be an August meeting.

Note – the minutes for the meeting are for board use only.
