President's Report
1. Update on weeds in grass - still working with Jim Garner to rid the lawn of weeds.
2. The irrigation system is still being worked on so that it can be turned on for the season. A couple of lines need to be repaired and one control box needs to be rewired.
3. Is anyone interested in a work party, similar to the one held last year? If you are interested, please contact Vince Sellen.
4. Motion put forward that the Homeowners' Association pay for plant replacement by Don Lapworth, Melissa Pratt seconded and it was approved. If you have replaced plants, contact Art Cawrse or Vince Sellen.
5. The Block Watch meeting was on the 14th of June. Enclosed are some materials for your information and a summary of the meeting from Vince Sellen. The Mormon Church was broken into a couple of weeks ago.
6. All owners that rent out their units are reminded that their tenants need to be familiar with the CC&Rs and abide by them. Tenants should also be made aware of who they need to contact for specific inquiries.
Several issues have been brought to the attention of the board lately concerning satellite dish installation and the use of the common areas.
Dishes are allowed with consultation with the board. This is intended to make them as unobtrusive as possible.
It is important that we all understand the use of the common areas. Though we all respect each others' rights to privacy, it is important that open areas be available for all of our use. It is the intent of the board that we work together to maintain the friendly, cooperative spirit of Cedar Springs.
Vice President's Report
1. Dana Pratt, of Pratt Pest Management briefed the board on different options for pest control. Thus far, only a couple of units have reported pest problems (mostly ants) that have since gone away. Mr. Pratt estimated the cost of eliminating an ant infestation at $300 for initial treatment and follow up visits, with guaranteed results. He also briefed us on a preventative program that would treat the exterior of all units once a quarter to deter pests. Mr. Pratt is going to provide an estimate of cost for year round pest prevention, and the board will consider whether or not we will pay for it from association funds. This would cover the exterior of the buildings only, any interior pest problems would be the responsibility of the owner, with Mr. Pratt offering a reduced rate if we contract with him to treat the exteriors. Dan Lapworth will remain the point of contact on the board for pest problems.
