Continued Records Request from Tim Russell
The Board discussed with Tim his requests for financial records from 2006 & 2007. After receiving certified letters requesting these financial records, the Board had replied to Tim in writing requesting further information. After not receiving a clear response from Tim, Dian (Board Treasurer) attempted to set up a meeting with Tim to clarify his request; Tim declined to meet with Dian. Tim has stated he believes there is money missing from the Association. Sharyn noted that Tim was provided with financial records and a general ledger when he previously requested records in July 2012, and had possession of the historical records from 2008 and earlier when he served on the Board. Following discussion, Bill made a motion to provide Tim with the check register (detail of deposits and disbursements) covering the period January 2006 through present.  Dorick seconded and the motion was approved unanimously. Sharyn (as bookkeeper) will send that document by email. 

Design Review Committee
Building plans have been submitted to the committee for Phase 1, lot 11 (1025 Boylan Road).  The plans do not include a landscaping plan. The committee recommends approval subject to receipt of the missing plan. Sharyn, on behalf of the Board,  will contact the owner to collect the design review fee ($50) and inform the owner that a preliminary landscape plan must be received prior to construction.   

Park and Trail Committee
Adam confirmed that the drainage easements/catchments in Phase 2 (Augusta Drive) do need cleanout.  He will proceed to implement the drainage and trail maintenance as approved by the Board at the September 9 meeting.
Sharyn provided an update that Grass Chopper winterized the sprinklers in the Phase 2 Park and also completed spot spray with round-up for weed control within the Phase 3 trail.  

Executive Committee
There has been no news or activity on the legal proceedings with member Bill Beebe. The decision is still pending with the District Court.                             

Finance/Treasurer Report
The Board reviewed the Profit & Loss Budget to Actual statement for July 2013 through today. Sharyn reported that as Bookkeeper she sent reminders for payment of assessments/member dues in early October.  To date there is only approximately $700 remaining in outstanding receivables; and only one owner with overdue assessments >1 year.  

Communications with New Owners of 12 Acre Parcel adjacent to Phase 1 Park
Dian met with the new owner and representatives from the architecture firm he is working with and provided a summary of their meeting and the 3 proposals discussed. Following discussion by the Board, Sharyn made a motion to provide the owner (Tom Murphy) with a written response that the Board is not interested in discussing an easement to his property across the park/trail at this time; seconded by Dorick; approved unanimously.

Acceptance of Certified Letters
            The Board agreed not to discuss this item. 

Update on City Landfill Issues (VOCs)
There is a Public Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at the Holiday Inn at 6:30 pm.  The membership was notified by email (those that have provided email addresses) on October 30th.  Additionally, the City sent letters to owners in Phase 2 and 3.  Sharyn (as Bookkeeper) is working with the City to make sure they have current addresses.  The Board will continue to monitor and communicate information on this issue.
