MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING
SECTOR 2A AT SNOHOMISH CASCADE ASSOCIATION
7 P.M. TUESDAY APRIL 4, 2017
CALL TO ORDER / PRESENTATION OF MINUTES
1. Steve Yandl called the meeting to order at 7:05pm. Present were Steve Yandl, Tim Day and Tom Mooney.
2. Minutes of the March 2017 meeting were presented and unanimously approved.
TREASURER’S REPORT
1. Steve Yandl reported on current financial status.
a. Currently $89,008 in the checking account (operational funds).
b. There is $16,868 in the long-term reserve.
c. We have $5,700 in operational reserve.
2. Second set of late invoices were sent out to 15 members.
3. Treasurer still working on assuming bookkeeping duties.
MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
1. With so much winter weather, we’ve postponed getting quotes to augment play chips in the tot play areas. That should be done in April.
2. Request from impacted owner adjacent to NE corner detention pond asking that we address an issue with potentially hazardous alder trees near the fence line before having chain link fence installed to replace the current dilapidated wood fence. Except for Steve Yandl, others present had not seen the trees although Rick Sallee took a picture that the board can review on line. Based on the description of the situation, it didn’t seem like an urgent need to deal with the alders but the issue will be revisited.
3. Request shared from homeowner Harrigan regarding trees in buffer behind their property. Board members will try and check situation out before May (annual) meeting.
4. Early spring moss treatment and herbicide has been applied by Turfs Up.
5. Reminder notification received from Silver Lake Water to have backflow certification done on 4 meters.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE REPORT
1. Requests from homeowners for project approvals.
a. Bartsch – Roof in Presidential TL approved.
b. Kometani – Roof being done. No request but it appears to be Presidential TL.
c. Noorfeshan – Roof replacement info requested. Specific plan request not yet submitted.
d. Trosin/Browne – Request for side yard parking pad (and driveway extension from front yard) to accommodate boat parking. Request was presented at the March meeting. Barry Trosin has confirmed the pavers would be done by him rather than a contractor but has provided assurances he knows how to do the job properly. Request was approved per submitted plans but owner was warned that the condition of the landscape portion needed for transit between driveway and parking pad needed to be maintained with regard to appearance.
2. Complaints, CC&R violations
a. Complaints regarding basketball hoops were discussed. No vote was taken but the consensus was that basketball hoops in good repair should be allowed in front yard areas, provided they did not block sidewalk or street. The same would apply to other play equipment such as hockey goals.
b. Follow-up discussion on unapproved carport at Harrigan property on 158th Street. Roof portion of carport has been removed but stringer on the house as well as outer supporting members remains upright.
c. Letters for lack of mowing and weeding will be sent out soon.

NEW BUSINESS
1. The library at Totem Falls Elementary School has been reserved for our annual meeting on May 2, 2017. Reservation form completed but Steve Yandl still needs to get the insurance certificate to the school district. Meeting will be announced in the second quarter newsletter.
