The meeting was called to order at 5:06 p.m. by President Paul Stannert at the home of Jean Taylor. Roll was taken. .
Paul Stannert reported that he has a new contract from SonHouse for gutter cleaning and moss removal. We have used this company since 2008. The work will include (1) cleaning all gutters this fall or winter (when most of leaves are off the trees); (2) application of moss retardant such as “Moss be Gone”; (3) cleaning of outside of gutters; and (4) making a return visit (price not included in contract) to clean gutters on south side adjacent to wetlands and units on upper east side of street. The cost is $1,125. This includes $375 for moss killing application. It was moved by Vince Sellen and seconded by Art Shotwell to accept the bid. The motion passed unanimously. One of the renters reported leaking gutters over their front entrance. This has been an ongoing problem with many units. Resealing of the corners has not been successful. The real solution is to install new larger gutters and have them lying at a correct angle for drainage. This solution would be very expensive.
Paul reported that the completion of the painting of the remaining six units (3 buildings) will take place in 2013 at a cost of $13,146. This cost will be included in the 2013 budget plan.
Susan Miller gave the landscaping report which is attached. The budget for 2013 will include trimming of dangerous branches over the Strandberg unit on 29th Court, removing another branch to save a cedar tree near “H” Street and creek, and maintaining rocks around circular driveway. Art volunteered to ask Denise Crow to consult about Quaking Aspens rhizomes for a second opinion of need to remove them. Susan reported that the landscaping budget for 2013 was $8,650.00. She felt that we cannot afford a 5-year long-range plan without raising dues. Susan further reported that she had given $100 bonuses to the three Simply Yards workers who have done Cedar Springs this past year.
Art indicated that he will prepare a 2013 budget for the next board meeting. There was discussion regarding a long-range budget plan and the reserve account.
Vince responded to Naomi Hanson’s request to study the pervasive problem of wet lawns throughout Cedar Springs and also other areas of Anacortes. Art offered to discuss the problem with the Anacortes Public Works Department before paying for a consultant to look at the problem.
Jerry and Jan Martin reported that there is a crack in their cement foundation. Paul will see if a contractor he is familiar with will give advice on the best method to repair the crack.
The board will need a budget review meeting prior to the annual meeting on January 26, 2013 at the Anacortes Library. A date was not chosen.
The annual meeting will be on Saturday, January 26, at 10:00 a.m. at the Anacortes Library.
The meeting was adjourned at 5.55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
