OLD BUSINESS

1. Tennis court rules and regulations?—there have been some problems with people adhering to the rules.
2. North Tennis Court repair?—this may be more complex than first thought. Lots 103 and 104 next to the court on the lakeside also have foundation cracking. A core drilling will be done and its results will determine the next step.
3. The board will discuss in the coming months, what to do about painting of the units after the first round is completed by the end of the year. Something has to change. Some items for consideration?—the possibility of changing the CC&R?’s, giving the responsibility of painting to the homeowners, or raising monthly dues and keeping responsibility with HOA.
4. Violation of community rules?—letters will be sent out to chronic abusers of trash container usage, street parking, inappropriate signs, speeding, etc. A handout will be distributed to trades people, listing appropriate procedures, such as speeding, clean up, parking, loud music, etc.

NEW BUSINESS

1. Review landscape requirements for next four months?—Russ will work on a modernization plan for the front entrance. Otherwise, we are in a maintenance mode.
2. Budget history was given to board members, to put in numbers for projected expenses.
3. In the coming months, we need to discuss Bob Wallace?’s contract, and Christmas bonuses for employees.
