The meeting was called to order at 5:35 p.m. by President Vince Sellen at the home of Marilyn Cawrse. Roll was taken.
Doug moved/Jean seconded to approve the minutes of the August 15 regular meeting and the September 11 special meeting as presented. Motion passed unanimously.
Doug gave a treasurer’s report which is attached. At the present time we have $69,147.03 in available funds although there are $4,837.95 in checks that have not cleared the bank. He suggested discussion of increasing the monthly dues when the budget is prepared for 2014. In that regard, it was suggested that there be a work meeting in November, a date to be discussed later in the meeting.
The president reported that Phase One of the surface repair at 39th Court is completed. They also took care of the cracks.
As we near the annual meeting in January and a change in leadership, it was suggested that officers list their responsibilities and schedules as to maintenance of the development, i.e. when the gutters are cleaned, who has done the work, etc. It was pointed out that the sprinklers will need repair in 2014 – a consideration as the budget is prepared.
Vince presented a Reserve Study Proposal given by Pacific Crest Reserves, LLC. The individuals who would prepare the study are Rick Bunzel and Charlie Barefield. They propose a discounted program which would total about $4,500 over a 3-year period. It was decided to have a special meeting in November at which Bunzel and Barefield will present. The meeting will be on November 14 at 5:30 at the home of Vince Sellen.
It is necessary to make a reservation at the library for our annual meeting in January. Jean moved/Marilyn seconded to have the meeting on Saturday, January 25 in the morning. The motion passed. Vince will see if that date and time is available.
Susan and Jean presented the 2014 landscaping priorities and projects, also attached. This report came about after Jean Taylor, Andrea Gauthier, Gretchen Sellen, and Susan Miller took an informal inventory of the Cedar Springs grounds. They recommend $6,300 be the total for landscaping within the 2014 budget.
Susan wanted to alert homeowners that, if there is a problem with the garage door opener spring, do not try to fix it yourself. It is very dangerous. She can recommend a person to do the work.
The next regular board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, December 19, at the home of Naomi Hanson.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:48 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Naomi Hanson, Secretary
