MINUTES OF THE MONTHLY BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

SECTOR 2A AT SNOHOMISH CASCADE ASSOCIATION

7:00 PM   WEDNESDAY    December 10, 2008

 

CALL TO ORDER / APPROVAL OF MINUTES

  1. Duane Oord called the meeting to order at 7:10pm.  Present were Duane Oord, Steve Yandl, Trina Coleman, and Joyce Bowen.
  2. Trina Coleman presented the Minutes from the October meeting.  It was moved and seconded to accept the minutes as amended. Motion carried 4 – 0.
TREASURER’S REPORT

  1. The balance in the checking account is $17,610.00. There are five checks that are not showing up yet, which would bring the balance to $17,231.00. And another $3,400 was just signed.  This puts us further ahead then we were planning, partly because we have not installed the new mailbox yet and there is still a fence section left to be repaired.
  2. There have been no questions on the budget that was printed in the newsletter. There is additional money ($3,000) placed in the maintenance fund to cover any bad debt that we may experience.
  3. Nothing has changed in the long term capital fund or the operational reserve.
MAINTENANCE

  1. Steve reported on behalf of Cheryl Carlson, there were three new fence sections replaced on the north side of Snohomish Cascade just west of 67th Drive. Although these did need to be replaced at some point these were not the intended sections for repair. There was some miscommunication between the workers as to which fence sections should be repaired, rather than paying the bill outright, we want to see if there can be some concessions on the payment.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE REPORT

  1. There is a boat that has been parked outside of the house at 15704 67th Drive SE. Joyce will call the owner and also send a letter reminding him of the parking limitations.
  2. There is a vanpool van parked outside the house at 15417 70th Avenue SE. There have been complaints from neighbors in regards to the excess cars parked in the cul-de-sac.
  3. The rental situations
    1. Sherman will be writing a letter to the Gerges’ attorney
    2. The Guimont’s attorney is still representing them.
    3. The Sharma’s’ attorney was paid to write the initial letter. And it does not sound as if she is still representing them.  It seems as if the Sharmas may be in a difficult situation because of the quit claim deed of 1 percent of the house to the tenant.
    4. The next step of action would be to have Sherman contact the lenders for the Guimonts and the Sharmas. Bill and Steve will meet with Sherman prior to this.
    5. The fines are in the $21,000 to $22,000 for the two home owners.
YARD OF MERIT

  1. The judging for holiday decorations will be on December 15 at 7:00pm, after judging meet at Bill’s house.
