CEDAR SPRINGS HOMEOWNERS BOARD MEETING
The Board of Directors met September 16 at 7 p.m. at the home of Alex and Jean Taylor. Present were the Taylors, Don Hanson, Jean Thomas, Vince Sellen, and Susan Miller.
AGENDA: COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS, EASEMENTS AND RESERVATIONS
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
1. Article 13 - Wording for the deductible portion of our Homeowners Association insurance policy was discussed. It was noted that in the majority of similar homeowner associations, the owner pays the deductible in the event of damages to his or her home. The Board must first approve that change in our policy before this goes for a vote to the membership. Motion made by Don and seconded by Alex was approved to initiate this action at the next meeting, pending agreement with CAI, our insurer.
2. Article 22 - Amendment of declaration # 22.1 regarding the quorum required for a vote. A motion made by Don and seconded by Alex was approved to clarify the wording in the CC&Rs and ByLaws so that the requirements are better understood.
3. Article 12 - Discussion was initiated on # 12.13 Rental Units, regarding the ratio of units rented to the total membership. This issue will continue to be addressed before presentation at the Annual Meeting in January 2010.
TREASURER’S REPORT
Don Hanson reported that our current balances are as follows:
Operating Fund: Insurance Fund: Reserve Fund:
$1,477.05 1,747.83 52,797.63
The Reserve Fund paid out in June and July for major repairs and the sprinkler/irrigation improvements. One homeowner’s past due account will be paid this month, making all accounts current.
Landscape Coordinator’s Report:
Susan Miller presented an illustrated study of the various types of raised garden planter boxes, an idea being formed by a group of our residents for a community garden. More discussion and presentations will follow before the issue is presented for a vote.
Good of the Order
Alex reported that we are using less water with the improved sprinkler system. The City continues to charge us as a Commercial unit which our Board is protesting.
Don Hanson will search out a Resolution the City cannot locate.
Earthquake insurance will continue to be explored.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted, Jean Thomas, Secretary
