Joe then turned to Jim Cowling for a report on estimates obtained to replace  Secret Woods fencing at the rear of the neighborhood behind the Loving's residence.  Silverman Fence Company estimated replacement cost at $9,722.00.  The board decided to postpone any decision on the fencing until more estimates could be obtained.

Joe then gave the board an update on the neighborhood's pending insurance rate increase with State Farm Insurance.  Joe spoke with State Farm spokesman Parvez Sohotra about the neighborhood's policy.  Sohotra said the new rate still isn't known  but should be announced by State Farm by  the end of May.  The neighborhood's mold coverage has been dropped as a condition of renewing the policy.  

Attention then turned to the pool which has experienced ongoing problems. Joe told the board that Portofino Pools claimed the plumbing in the pool's pump house had gone bad and was causing the erratic water levels.  David Gray Plumbing was then called in.  David Gray replaced the plumbing.  Once the plumbing was replaced, new leaks were detected in the pool's feeder lines, which are 18-years-old.  Portofino was out today (Monday, May 12) to start work on replacing the pool's feeder lines. 

This weekend's plumbing charge from David Gray was $350.  The final cost of replacing the feeder lines was still being determined.

Joe noted more pool keys have been ordered for residents.  Joe thanked John Loving and Horst Popal for handing out the keys to residents.

Joe then noted someone has vandalized the men's bathroom at the pool.  It is unknown who the vandal is.

Discussion then turned to the neighborhood's upkeep.  Possible projects discussed included new landscaping and pool upgrades.  Sallie commented she would like to see some money spent to hire professionals to improve the pool, do some landscaping and replace the fencing.  Joe asked Sallie to get a quote to tile the pool entryway, which she agreed to do.   She also agreed to help out with meeting workers from Portofino Pools while repair work is completed.

The upcoming annual homeowners meeting was then discussed.  Harold pointed out that proper notice hadn't been followed for the annual meeting.  The covenants state that each homeowner must be mailed a notice at least 15 days before a meeting, Harold said.  So the meeting was tentatively rescheduled again for Monday, June 9.   The date is tentative until Joe can confirm that the church will be available.  Mailers will then be sent out to everyone.

Tom brought up that the covenants and bylaws still need to be updated.  Joe said he would get copies to the board members to review.  Joe noted that the copy on the Website is incomplete.

Harold suggested bringing back the block captains and said the annual meeting would be the perfect time to ask for volunteers.  

The next board meeting was scheduled for Monday, June 9, with plans to combine it with the annual homeowners meeting.  The  meeting was adjourned at 7:39 p.m.
