TREASURER’S REPORT

  1. The balance in the checking account is $33,642. If we subtract out the deposits for the dues for 2009 and the outstanding checks we have about $10,000 in the account. We started the year with $8,000 in the checking but there are several expenses that we projected to come through in December, but they are not going to be billed until December (the mailbox replacement and a small fence replacement).
  2. As of date there are about 30% of the homeowners have paid their dues (82). We have also received 64 proxies which give us a quorum.
MAINTENANCE

  1. Fence repairs are pending behind the Mays house. Towne and Country has been contacted. They did take $200 off the last invoice for the mix-up on fence panels. The homeowners on Sno-Cascade just west of 67th Drive is asking for his fence to be replaced. We are asking that the homeowners complete the excavation work prior to Towne and Country being contracted to complete the fence repair. The second option would be that the homeowner could contract with the fence company to have his entire fence replaced, including the backyard and we would reimburse for the part of the fence that is common fencing.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE REPORT

  1. The rental situations
    1. Sherman wrote a letter to the Gerges’ attorney and we have not heard anything back as of yet. The house still remains vacant. 
    2. 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.
    3. The fines are in the $25,400 (Guimont) to $24,600 (Sharma) for the two home owners.
    4. The Warner’s will be receiving a letter to remind them of the expiration of the variance.
  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. We will continue to monitor this.
  3. A letter will be drafted the Blume’s in regards to their newly installed patio cover, that it does not meet the requirements of the CC&Rs.
