APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MINUTES: Paul Davallou made a motion to approve the August 1st Minutes as written. The motion was seconded and passed.
PRESIDENTS REPORT
Steve Daly reminded the Board that the Board President and Treasurer will be resigning because they will be moving from our Cedar Springs community and therefore we must be canvasing homeowners to find replacements for the Board. He pointed out that we needed to prepare for the January Annual meeting at our December 5th Board meeting. A budget for 2019 will be presented at that meeting. (THE BOARD ENCOURAGES HOMEOWNERS TO ATTEND THE DECEMBER 5th BOARD MEETING AND CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING TO BE A BOARD MEMBER.) The first Board meeting following the annual meeting is scheduled for January 23rd..
TREASURER’S REPORT
Paul Davallou reported that the September Reserve Account was $108,000 and the Total Asset Account was $121,426. He stated that we have stayed within our 2018 projected budget.
SECRETARY’S REPORT
Kippy Strandberg reported that all but 3 homeowners have returned the Annual Contact Information and Water Safety Certification form. She stated that hopefully next year homeowners would return the forms in a more timely manner.
LANDSCAPE REPORT
Bruce and Linda Janicula reported that the homeowners seemed generally pleased with the Simply Yards Crew. They will be coming 3 more times in the months of November and December. The problems with the sprinklers seemed to be solved. 6 shrubs and 1 large tree were purchased and planted. Herberth Silva completed pruning of branches over hanging on roofs. It was recommended that a problem tree, at 1804 39th Court, be considered for possible removal in 2019.
The Treasurer reported that in 2018, for the months of July, August, and September, the cost of irrigation decreased by approximately 10% when compared to 2017.
The Board would like to thank Linda and Bruce for doing a spectacular job!
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Steve Daly reported that this winter 13 units with drip problems will have new higher quality sealant applied in the leaky seams of their gutters and possibly have a new down spout added to improve gutter performance. To solve the overflow problem, one unit will have a diverter installed in the problem roof valley this winter as a test case. This diverter solution will be evaluated in the Spring. If successful, then diverters will be installed in all units having an overflow problem.
Steve asked Bill Westlake if he would oversee this gutter repair work. He accepted.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
It would be appreciated if all homeowners and renters would retrieve their garbage cans and recycle bins on Thursdays and store them in your garages. Art Shotwell will work on adding this to House Rules for discussion at the Annual meeting. This will help maintain the attractive community appearance that Cedar Springs is so noted for.
December 5th is the next Board Meeting.
The date of the Annual Cedar Springs Homeowners Meeting will be announced once we confirm availability of the Multi-use room at the Anacortes Library. We intend on starting at 10:00 am either Jan. 19th, 12th or 5th in that order.
January 23rd will be the date the new board meets to determine the officers for 2019.
ADJOURNMENT:
The Board Meeting ended at 5:50 PM.
Respectfully submitted by,
Kippy Strandberg,
Cedar Springs Secretary
