UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

1. Initial Capital Contribution Amendment: This amendment passed. The effective date is 8/21/06. It has been recorded at the courthouse and is being placed in Daily Record for two weeks. It will also be posted at the mailbox bulletin board. A letter was prepared for mailing to realtors to inform them of this amendment. A copy will be provided to each member, which may be picked up at the mailbox bulletin board.

2. Legal Action by Attorney: The attorney has completed the work requested by the board.

3. Sprinkler System: The sprinkler system repair has now been completed. The old system had deteriorated. The are now five sprinkler zones with five hand-operated valves.

4. Lights at the pool: It was reported that people, when using the pool in the evening, are continuing to place towels over the lights. The issue of the brightness of the lights is being addressed and all are urged not to place towels over the lights, as this is a safety hazard. The motion sensor lights are up. However, there has been damage to one of the lights at the tennis court due to someone repositioning it. If you have a concern about the way the lights are positioned, bring it to the attention of a board member. Sallie Wnuk is contacting All-Service to work on the bright light issue and to repair the damage light. Also, repair of the bathroom lights and fans was approved and Sallie Wnuk will also coordinate this with All-Service.

5. Shed Discussion continued: This discussion will continue in October. Handouts from other associations were provided in order to see what their policies are about sheds. At this time, however, the covenant prohibits any sheds.

6. Pool: Katherine Frazier reported. Crown Pool’s estimate was $8346.00. This estimate is good for 30 days. The guarantee is for 20 years. The owner said the black algae problem, once resolved, could be prevented from recurring if proper pool maintenance procedures are used. The owner contacted the state and reported that the slope/marcite is not an issue. Crown Pool also provides pool maintenance.

Renaissance provided a bid of $13,600.00 There would be a 20 year guarantee. A rebid was asked for, but the company declined because they said they would have to reconsider due to slope/marcite state regulations. Their current bid proposal is good for 60 days.

Ms. Frazier will contact Crown Pool for an estimate for pool maintenance. An answer will also be obtained for the time frame for the work can begin and how long the pool will be shut down. She will also contact the Better Business Bureau and call references.

NEW BUSINESS:

Lawns: Nine letters went sent to homeowners about the condition of their yards.

Vehicle Signage: Mr. and Ms. Zerincue addressed the board concerning signage on his work van, stating he could not guarantee that he would be able to comply with the October 1, 2006 agreement. After much discussion, Mr. Zerincue said he would cover up the signage “as neatly as possible” until he received a new van. The board took this under advisement.

Swing Sets: There was a question raised as to whether or not swing sets are allowed. This was tabled until the October 2006 meeting.

Newsletter: Ms. Frazier reported on the development of an association newsletter. Included in it would be such topics as birthdays, special events, special occasions, neighborhood news, recipes, gardening tips, etc. This was unanimously approved. We hope to have the first issue as a Christmas issue. If you would like to be on the newsletter committee, please contact a board member.

A motion was made to give Mr. Wayne Williams a special thanks for all of his hard work. This motion was seconded and unanimously approved.

The next meeting will be Monday, October 9, 2006 at 6:30 pm.

Respectfully Submitted,

Dale A. Elzie, Secretary
