Officer Reports:
President: The President reminded Board that budget discussions would be held at the October Board Meeting. In addition, the Board would update the 2007 Reserve Study. Tom Harvat volunteered to take on the project of getting the end of Bradwood Street cleaned up and installing “No Dumping” and “No Trespassing” signs on Leewood property adjacent to that area. Copies of the Community Association Statutory Handbook containing the 2008 changes to the Property Owners Association Act were distributed to Board members with the request that they read the sections impacting POA packets and HOA financial obligations. The President made a motion to waive POA packet fees for one property in Leewood due to extenuating circumstances. The motion was carried. The President expressed appreciation to Juan Laguna for the work he has been doing with the utility companies (particularly Cox and Verizon) on getting wires buried after they have been installed. The Board again considered the request of a homeowner to have a tree removed from the common area adjacent to the homeowners yard. The Board made the decision that the tree would not be removed this year and that the homeowner should proceed with the walk repair cited as an ARC violation.
