President's Report
1. If you have experienced problems with your furnace, Strandberg and RAM Heating have agreed to pay for the faulty boards and repairs. Bills that have been submitted will be paid, though it might take some time. Future problems should be directed to either Alpine or RAM for repair without charge.
2. There was some interest in the Neighborhood Watch program. We will schedule an informative meeting with an officer from the police department. They will explain how we can be more effective at watching over our community in the near future.
3. A few homeowners have shown interest in a neighborhood garage sale. If you are interested in being on the committee that will arrange the sale, please contact a board member to give them your name.
4. Ongoing work is still needed on the new CC&Rs.
Secretary's Report
1. An updated contact list is included with these minutes.
Treasurer's Report
1. In order for the secretary (Art Shotwell) to oversee the HOA accounts (made available online by Furin and Co) he needs Quickbooks. Vince moved that the HOA buy a copy of the Quickbook software, Melissa seconded and it was approved.
Landscaping Report
1. The lawns will be treated with a weed and feed type fertilizer by Garner's soon.
2. Sprinklers will be turned on when the dry weather has settled in. Art Cawrse will discuss it with Garner's. Jan Berry brought up that she has a broken sprinkler line near her house.
Old Business
1. The Board needs a copy of each homeowner's insurance policy for our records. Please give them to Art Shotwell, the treasurer.
2. The awning at 1804 39th Ct will be installed shortly.
New Business
1. Jan Berry and Eloise Brookman have both seen sugar ants at their units. If anyone in other units have problems with pests, please contact Don Lapworth. He is looking into treatment solutions.
2. Creekside currently does dryer vent cleaning as a group. It isn't required by our insurers. If three or more people want to have their ducts cleaned they will get a discount rate from Cascade Duct Service (1-866-391-8873 or 360-766-4342 or 360-420-2627). All homeowners are reminded not to run major appliances (clothes washer and dryer, and dishwasher) while away from home. The shared nature of our dwellings puts other homes at risk if something were to go wrong with these items while you are not at home.
Next Meeting Date
1. The Board will meet again on 08 June 2005 at 7:30 pm at Eloise Brookman's house. Anyone interested can attend.
Respectfully Submitted,
Melissa Pratt
