PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Sample shingles were removed from several homes and examined by PABCO Roofing Products to determine the manufacturer’s stated life of our shingles. Homes 1802 Ct, 1804 Ct, 1806 Ct, 1811 Ct, 1813 Ct, 1901 Ln, 1903 Ln, 1907 Ln, 1909 LN, 1908 Ln, 1910 Ln, 1902 Ln, 1813 Ln, 1815 Ln had shingles with a 40 year life span. Homes 1801 Ln, 1803 Ln, 1805 Ln, 1807 Ln, 1809 Ln, 1811 Ln, 1817 Ln, 1819 Ln, 1802 Ln, 1804 LN, 1806 Ln, 1808 LN, 1810 Ln, 1812 Ln had shingles with a 30 year life span. The sample shingles that were removed were replaced with a new shingle. The Board is being proactive concerning roof replacement since this will be a large expenditure for Cedar Springs homeowners.
Paul stated that our gutters will be cleaned as soon as most of the leaves have fallen from the trees surrounding our homes. The tree that fell of 1817 Ln was removed and the damaged gutter was repaired for a cost of $2200. Paul stated that some other trees may have to be removed to avoid this problem in the future.
TREASURER’S REPORT: Cele stated that the current revenue will cover any remaining 2020 expenditures, but some adjustments will be needed when making the 2021 budget.
SECRETARY’S REPORT: None
LANDSCAPE REPORT: Bruce explained the following projects.
• 1 sprinkler control box was replaced.
• The water bill is continuing to decrease because of the updates to our sprinkler system.
• Very few sprinklers need to be replace in the future.
• The next mulching round is tentatively planned for 2022. Bruce will devise some possible
mulching rotations for the Board to consider.
• The contract has been signed with Simply Yards for 2021. The cost will be the same as 2020.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS: The Board discussed replacing the fence on the 1811 Ct. and 1813 Ct. property. Pictures of the fence showed considerable damage. Two bids have been provided. The Board will examine the fence and assess the damage. A decision will be made at the next Board meeting.
The Board decided that future meetings will use the Zoom format. The date for the Annual Homeowner’s meeting will be decided at the next Board meeting.
