A. Landscaping - A notice from the city was received on November 1, 2006.We have been advised corrective action must be taken by homeowners to trim trees and vegetation along the property line and growing into the alley. Dan from Acacia trimmed the tall grass in the alley. Re-inspection date by the city was November 12, 2006. The city may come back to the association if the trees have not been trimmed, at which time the Board will advise the city that each homeowner is responsible for their own yard. Dan will also start on the sprinkler repairs in May of 2007. It was mentioned that the red flags used for sprinkler system repairs need to be kept out were they are accessible to everyone. Penny suggested they be kept out behind her back wall.

Lynn and Annie volunteered to show homeowners how to bait the traps; homeowners will be responsible for emptying them, as well. Homeowners may pick up a trap(s), plus the association will put some out in the common areas.
D. BBQ - Wendy stated that if the gas to the BBQ is cancelled, SW Gas will charge a $60.00 plus tax reconnect fee and a possible deposit if we turned it on again.

It was mentioned that the association may pay for the first tank and the homeowners would be responsible for refills afterwards.
