MINUTES Board Meeting of Cedar Springs Home Owners 19 Jul 2005

Present were: Vince Sellen, Melissa Pratt, Don Lapworth, Jan Berry, Eloise Brookman, Ed Mazur, Paula Dinnel, Kippy Strandberg

President's Report

1. Vince met with John Lumsford of the forestry service to discuss the horsetails and teasels appearing in the wetlands as an invasive plant. They cannot be treated with chemicals due to the wetland designation, but they can be pulled. Garner's Landscaping service will pull the teasels this week instead of their normal weeding. The horsetails will be cleared out later in the season when they are easier to deal with.
2. The irrigation system is being turned on for a few days at a time. This is a temporary way to manage the system until it is completely fixed. The board is aware that there are leaks, broken or missing sprinkler heads and faulty valves. If there is a problem in your area that you do not think has been noticed, or if a new problem appears, please call Art Cawrse or Vince Sellen to inform them.
3. The satellite dish at 1802 39th Court was approved by the board. The satellite dish at 1903 Cedar Springs Ln was approved by the board with the request that the occupants hide the wires coming from the dish under the eaves of the house.

Vice President's Report

1. Don Lapworth presented the service contract proposed by Pratt Pest Management. He recommended that we do not pay for an exterior pest control program until pests become more of a problem. The cost proposed by Pratt Pest Management is $100 per year per unit, to be paid out of the Association account.
