CEDAR SPRINGS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
MEETING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2015
MINUTES
Present: Candy Cooper, Steve Daly, Bob Gauthier, Art Shotwell, Paul Stannert
Guests: Andrea Gauthier, Carol Tank, Doug Winge
The meeting was called to order by president Steve Daly at 4:30 p.m. He thanked the Gauthiers for hosting the board meeting and recognized the guests.
Bob Gauthier/Art Shotwell moved to approve the April 29 minutes. The motion passed unanimously.
Art Shotwell notified the board that the Cedar Springs Insurance has been renewed as of 6/1/15. This is a one (1) year policy and does not include earthquake insurance. The annual policy is approx. $5,000 less without earthquake coverage. The BOD will continue to access the value of adding earthquake insurance. As of June 1, there are 2 delinquencies. A letter will be sent to both of these homeowners.
Steve indicated he is still working on the Gutter repairs. Paul reported that the “fix” that he has tried seems to be working but since we have not had significant rainfall, time will tell. This continues to be work in progress.
Bob Gauthier reported that he had contacted Simply Yards regarding the sprinkler system and resetting the times currently set for automatic sprinkling. Also, some areas seem to be dryer than others. Motion was made by Paul and seconded by Art to get estimates from other companies to handle repairs and maintenance of the sprinkler system.
House Rules have been reviewed and will be updated and distributed.
The BOD is reviewing the mulch options for the common areas. A homeowner had Simply Yards mulch their bed and the mulch was extremely unsatisfactory. Andrea presented a very nice display of different types/costs of mulch varieties. Most of the common areas have not been mulched in years so we will proceed with getting costs of the mulch and costs to have it spread. This will probably be done by someone other than Simply Yards due to costs.
There was a homeowner request to have the trees along 1810 and 1812 trimmed back so the sun isn’t blocked. The board discussed that these trees provide privacy from the 2 story homes behind these units but will be looked at to see if trimming would help.
Steve stated the cost to have the roof moss treated was $1,125.00 per year so the BOD decided this was a good price and will implement this to be done annually.
Candy stated the homeowners contact list has been updated and will be distributed.
The annual picnic will be held August 1 and the location will be at 1903 and 1907 Cedar Springs.
Due to personal reasons, Ted Krieg has resigned from the board of directors. We thank him for his service and wish him well.
The next meeting of the board will be August 26 at the home of the Gauthiers.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Candy Cooper
Secretary
