·         Minutes from April 9, 2013 meeting were reviewed and approved.

 

Open Forum:

 

Parking concerns were brought up and it was discussed what board members had authorization to call the towing company to remove cars from the community.  It was agreed that all board members would be given a copy of the towing contract and be placed on the contract to authorize future towing. There was a concern on commercial vehicles continuing to park in reserved parking. The resolution was to ticket and tow these individuals.  For the next bulletin the local dumps will be provided and a note regarding paint cans.  It was noted that homeowners have complied with the request to picking up trash and debris in the common areas.  It was suggested that trees in the common areas needed to be pruned to deter children from playing on them and to prevent property damage to homeowners’ vehicles.  A request will be made to Shenandoah to walk the property again and check for trees that need more pruning.  The board discussed damaged grass that needed repair after a drainage pipe was put in by homeowners.  It was also noted that Daniel Marte needed to repair shingles.
