UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

*Election of officers: Beth Reiney was appointed Vice President of the Neighborhood Association, and Rob Hagen was appointed Treasurer. Pat Parrish will remain as bookkeeper and Katherine Frazier was appointed Secretary.

*Block Captain Liaison: David Hargnett volunteered to be the Block Captain Liaison.

*Pool Liaison: Beth Reiney, Rob Hagen, David Hargnett and Gary Bassett have all volunteered to be the pool liaisons. If a neighbor sees a problem in the pool area they should report it to one of the liaisons who will in turn call the appropriate repair service.

*Pool Furniture: The pool area is in need of additional seating. The board approved a budget of up to $150/per chair with a total of six chairs to be purchased immediately.

*Water Fountain: Discussion was held regarding the budget for replacing the old water fountain. Additional information is needed before approval can be made. A quote from a plumber on the estimated cost to install a water fountain will be brought to the next board meeting.

*Red Tip Shrubs: The red tip shrubs on the south end of the tennis court are dying and need to be replaced. Several hardy types of shrubs were suggested as well as installing one or two new sprinkler heads to reach this area with water. The board approved up to $1,000 to remove the old shrubs, replace with new ones, and install sprinkler heads. Beth Reiney will begin the process of getting prices on this project.

*Pool Service: The board has not been pleased with the current pool service and is getting bids from other pool maintenance companies.

*Covenant Violations: It has been brought to the attention of the board that several neighbors are in violation of one or more of our covenants. A reminder will be posted on the bulletin board to request residents to respect the neighborhood by adhering to the covenants.

NEW BUSINESS:

*Lights and Spotlights: It was noted that two lights on poles at our pool are not working and need to be replaced. The timer on the flagpole needs to be adjusted for Daylight Savings time.
