COMPLETED BUSINESS/LAST YEAR’S ACTIVITIES:

Bids were taken and new insurance secured
Newsletter restarted; neighborhood luminaries resumed

NEW BUSINESS/NEXT YEAR’S PLANS/YOUR IDEAS:

Continue with pool area repairs and improvement: rotten wood, pool equipment cover, landscaping and lawn, replace pool furniture and awnings; add new basketball goal, replace the tennis court screen, monitor lake health, improve mailbox shelter and grounds, develop long range plans for new 
landscaping around perimeter of property, begin a Secret Woods Garden Club. The pool is 22 year’s old and was resurfaced over ten year’s ago.

The board will be working on clarifying the language of the covenant. The original covenant had barred homeowners from having sheds and a later vote 
upheld this. Therefore, existing sheds are grandfathered in. No new sheds will be permitted. Any existing sheds must be removed when the house is sold or when that shed is no longer usable and may not be replaced or remodeled.

ASSOCIATION NEEDS YOUR HELP:

Pool committee to monitor conditions, recommend action, contact and meet contractors, keep key inventory
Pond committee to monitor lake health, recommend action, contact and meet contractors
Grounds committee to monitor fencing, landscaping, sprinkler system, mailbox 
area, recommend action, contact and meet contractors
Block captains are needed, a new captain of the captains is needed It has been noted that people are speeding through the neighborhood. The speed limit is 20 mph. One of our residents was almost hit by a car driven by another resident a couple of months ago. This occurred on the property near the back entrance. There are a number of children, elderly, disabled, and pets in our neighborhood. Please drive safely and thoughtfully. Be reminded that several years ago, a homeowner who was speeding through the neighborhood, lost control of his motorcycle, hit a tree, and was killed. 
Remind your guests who come to visit and those who work on homes and yards 
of the speed limit.

ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS:

The following homeowners were elected by the homeowners present at the 
meeting: Jim Huttle, Gary Bassett, John Sittig

The new board held a brief meeting and will elect new officers as needed at 
the June Board meeting.

Wayne Williams officially adjourned the annual meetings at 8:11 p.m.
