Financial Report by Susan Keene

Property Report by Larry Edwards

1.  Last set of roofs to be done this year will be completed next month.

2.  Test homes were power washed. Larry indicated the homes needed to be washed before ‘Spray and Forget’ was applied since he found that ‘Spray and Forget’ is a preventive product, recommended to be applied yearly.  Bob Stewart found in our governing documents that the HOA is responsible to clean the siding of homes as needed.

Continuing Business 

 1. Sprinkler System Update - Karen St.Clair reported that two irrigation companies have assessed the irrigation system since our May board meeting. Both companies have found the leak to be main line related. Finding this leak without having the underground specs for piping makes it difficult and costly to repair. A motion was made by Karen St.Clair that we not repair the irrigation system, continue to water manually as needed, and have Aqua Management professionally close the system in the fall.  2^nd by Bob Stewart.  Motion passed.

2. Dead trees at Entrance by Mike Lowden – There are 2 trees in question along Burnett Blvd planted last Feb.  There is no warranty on the trees.   The board agreed to leave the trees alone and see if they pull through, and replace next year, if necessary.

3. Sport Fishing by Chet Mayflower – There has been fishing at the pond by a resident’s family member and his friends.  For liability issues, Mike Lowden made the motion to have a ‘Resident Fishing Only, Catch and Release’ sign made and installed at the pond.  2^nd by Bob Stewart. Motion passed.  TO DO: Larry will order the sign and install. Karen will add this notice to the August newsletter. 

 4.  Lawn Care by Mike Lowden - Rob Cox, owner of Classic Lawn Care, came to board meeting to address board questions and concerns about lawn care.  Rob Cox apologized for not completing the edging and trimming of the bushes at entrance.  Rob will hire additional staffing to finish this work.  Since this first edging is being completed so late in the season, the board agreed to have only one edging completed this year.  The mulching at the North and South entrance still needs to be done, but Rob said that is PSG’s job. 
                                                

New Business
   
 1. Budget Categories – started discussion about categories on operating statement of budget and adding a general category to identify expenses that do not fall within a specific category. Discussion will continue at the August board meeting.                                                                         

 2. Siding Damages reported due to mowing. TO DO:  Larry will repair damaged siding at the end of the mowing season and charge Classic Lawn Care.                                                

 3. Landscaping at Entrance – it was agreed by the board to consider hiring one company to plant perennials at entrance, mulch, trim bushes, weed the common areas and to report back to the board.   

TO DO: Mike Lowden will contact companies for bids.
