Meeting Notes:
Introductions made and a quorum was established with 15 home sites represented. June presented the presidential report and reviewed the 2006 year end report from the HOA board to the homeowners. The key highlights for the last year included the old tree removal, overall landscape improvements, Chandler Grant research and the creation of the neighborhood web page [http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/chandler/suncrestvillas/ ].
The HOA board then discussed raising the annual dues by $2 a month starting in January 2008. The motion was raised by Jun Sinclair and second by Jon Rhoten ?– no objections from the 15 homes owners. Overall discussion went well ?– everyone agreed the landscape improvements and increase in costs for maintenance was worth the extra money.
Jim Bahl went over the budget and financial records with no areas of concern. Members agreed to keep a minimum balance of $10K in checking account for reserves. Financial data also supports spending the next year upgrading the sprinkler system on a street by street basis (phased implementation as funds arise).
