HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
BOARD MEETING
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1ST, 2018
1802 39TH COURT
PRESENT: Steve Daly,
Paul Davallou, Kippy Strandberg, Bruce Janicula, Paul Stannert, and Art
Shotwell.
CALL TO ORDER: The
meeting was called to order at 4:30PM by the President, Steve Daly.
APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 6TH BOARD MEETING: After correcting the misspelling of Diana
Laiche’s name the minutes were approved.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Steve Daly shared with the board that to replace all condo’s
gutters would be very costly and that repairing them would be a much better
financial option not requiring a special assessment from each homeowner.
A motion was made by Art Shotwell to allocate $3000 to repair
gutters with overflow problems. The
motion passed.
Steve Daly reported that Lynda Harper will need to resign as
a Co Secretary because of family medical issues that need her complete
focus. The Board would like to thank her
for all the time and assistance she has given to help make Cedar Springs a
wonderful place to call Home.
TREASURERS REPORT
Paul Davallou
explained the financial report for June and July 2018. He explained that the reports he receives are
not current. Bruce Janicula emphasized
that this makes budgeting for landscape projects very difficult. He also pointed out that many of the vendors
completing projects for Cedar Springs are not beings paid in a timely
manner. Paul stated he would discuss
this with Furin Inc. and emphasize that this must be handled in a much more
timely manner in the future.
LANDSCAPE REPORT
Bruce Janicula reported that we have saved $300 on water
expenditures this year. He also
explained watering was increased from 3 days a week to 4 days a week starting
July 17. Lynda Harper and
Doug Winge’s sprinkler head repair was completed. Bruce requested that if any homeowner sees a
sprinkler head remaining in the upright position, please gently push it down
with your foot to avoid damage to the head.
Bruce would like to remind all owners to please follow the
chain of communications if you have a landscape problem or a request.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE REQUEST TO THE
GENTLEMAN DOING THE LANDSCAPE WORK.
CONTACT BRUCE JANICULA, OR
LINDA JANICULA. THEY WILL THEN
CONTACT SIMPLY YARDS WHO WILL THEN INFORM THE WORKMEN.
Bruce explained that the wetland buffer can be trimmed, but
not watered. The area buffering the west
fence on the Lane side of Cedar Springs has been cleaned up and over hanging
vegetation trimmed. The area buffering H
Avenue has also been cleaned up.
Bruce explained that after discussing mulching with Simply
Yards, he has learned that mulching in March is much more efficient than
mulching in the summer or fall. This
provides more protection to the plants and prevents the mulch from being removed
when the workmen are raking debris in the plant beds in the fall and winter.
OTHER REPORTS
Paul Stannert reported that the Association was scheduled to
start the next painting cycle in 2019, but that our paint seems to be in good
condition and perhaps we should wait until 2020 to begin the next paint
cycle. The board will consider this.
Art Shotwell will add to the house rules a paragraph
explaining that homeowners are allowed to purchase storm doors or screen doors
for their front doors.
Doug Winge has installed a removable air-conditioner in a
side window that is partially hidden by plants.
Doug discussed this with his neighbor, who was comfortable with his
plan. The board felt this would not be a
problem.

these hot summer days. Please do not

Kippy Strandberg, Cedar Springs Secretary
