1. Shingles and building permits have been ordered for roof project. Suggestion made to stagger the roofing project throughout the year so all the funds aren’t pulled out of the reserve at the same time. Reroofing will begin as soon as May.                                                                 
2. Electricity has been wired for the pond aerator. Bid still pending for installing the aerator.

1.  Resolution letter - Chet will notify the owners that the board approved four trees to be 
planted at this property.
2.  Letters to homeowners for removal of dead trees was reviewed by board, written by Susan Keene. Susan consulted our attorney and his suggestions were included in the letter.
3.  Muskrat bid – Aqua Pond does not service the Hendricks County area. There is a company from Fortville, IN that will get rid of all the muskrats for $400.00. Motion made by Cheryl Simpson to hire this company to remove the Muskrats in the pond. 2nd by Bob Stewart. Motion passed.        
New Business                                                                                                                                     
1. Beautification Project- A proposal was presented by Mike Lowden and Cheryl Simpson for trees, bushes and benches to be added on the common area between the Westside of the pond and Westover Road.  Estimated cost and labor for the trees and bushes is approximately $1,200.00. Average cost for resin benches is approx. $400.00 each plus the cost of a cement base.  Several opinions where shared on the number and type of trees and bushes and how the project will be funded.  After discussion, Cheryl Simpson made a motion to fund this project with a cap of $2000.00 from the Common Area budget and to give the committee approval to move forward with the project. The committee will be chaired by Mike Lowden and whomever he recruits.  2nd by Mike Lowden. Motion passed with vote of 3-1.
2.  Roof leak damage at 8171 Burnett Blvd. – Board agreed that the inside damage from this roof leak would have to be covered by the homeowner’s insurance since this leak had been addressed in 2003 by Sentry Homes.
3.  Board officer election schedule – a suggestion was made to stagger board elections more evenly because of the newly 6th member elected to the board last November.  The schedule currently stands at a 3-2-1 election pattern. The aim is for electing and/or re-electing 2 officers each year which would allow for a 2-2-2 election pattern or to add an additional board member.
