There were no minutes of the November meeting as it was a social BarBQ.

Treasurer?’s Report:

The current balance is $2805.67. There are 13 homeowner?’s in arrears. The largest amount in arrears was paid recently. The current arrears is $1512.00. At the time the declarant turned over the financial records they were billing for past quarters. To avoid a double billing to achieve the required advance billing the Treasurer is gradulally moving the billing forward. If you pay early this will help us get the billing cycle in its desired format without having to do a double billing. The board requested that Karen obtain a ?‘report?’ from the landscaper showing what was done when.

Motion: Marjorie moved to accept the report.
Second:Brad
Vote: Approved unanimously.

Correspondence:
Internal correspondence from Kenn on information about changing the HOA status. No interest in persuing this, as the change would be detrimental to the HOA?’s interests.
Landscaping; loss of trees and bushes
The issue of Mr. Jury is complete, all that will be done has been done.
Brad is assigned to contact the Sherrif?’s department and get the report and find out how to and whom to persue to get the tree replaced.
Kenn is assigned to obtain the list of needed plants for the entrances from our landscaper. He will review the watering system with the Landscaper.

Report of Arctitectural Committee (Kenn)

Plans: One set of plans has been submitted to the Architectural Committee before a building permit is requested, as required by our CC&R?’s. It has been reviewed by the committee but not our architect. One set of plans has gone to Queen Creek but has not been approved by the Architectural Committee yet.

Fences: The issue of view fencing was brought up. There is one property with noncompliance fencing. This was allowed as the then Architect, retained by Mr. Jury ?– the declarant, did not respond in a timely manner as required by the CC&R?’s. A second property has approval granted by the same previous architect but not yet installed. In discussiong this with the owner, Mr. Cooper, the board agreed to a time limit for this fence to be installed. After that time, the fence will have to comply with the Policy Resolution #5 requiring all view fencing to be vertical wrought iron as on lots 19 and 20 and set out as policy in the December 1999 annual meeting.
However, these fences do not meet pool requirements, so owners who wish to install pools are advised to check on the spacing requirements. See lot 23 for an acceptable variation.

Violation issue and actions:
A list of current violations was brought to the Board?’s attention. The Board?’s goal is to make this a neighborhood. Except in the most serious cases it has attempted to work with homeowners rather than fine them. The board is considering a new review fee for the Architectural committee. This would be a large fee of a few thousand dollars refundable if all work is completed on time and in compliance with the CC&R?’s.

Creation of Budget:
The budget is presented in a monthly format. We will vote to accept at the next meeting.

Election of Officers:
As there were so few at our meeting, and no one has come forth to volunteer to serve, the Board decided to hold elections at our next meeting or vote to continue the existing board an additional term.

New Business, Issues:
Anyone knowing the owner?’s of lot #3 Kelly and Brandy Slade could you please give their address and/or phone number to the Treasurer.

Next Meeting:
March 4, 2002 at 7 PM at Burnell?’s: 22884 S. 194th Street.

Adjorned: Meeting adjorned at 9:30 pm.

Respectfully submitted:
Marjorie Burnell, secretary.
