Eleanor- Treasurer\u2019s Report<\/p>\n
The 2013 \u201csnapshot\u201d for the Budget and the 2014 Proposed Budget was circulated for review and discussion.\u00a0 The goal for 2013 was to save money and build capital for the road repair. Details on expenses\/capital improvements were provided (pool, electric meter).\u00a0 The amount of volunteer hours to manage property keeps expenses down; especially pool and grounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Carol-Grounds<\/p>\n
Grounds work in 2013 was the usual\u2026weeding, watering and bagging leaves.\u00a0 If broken limbs or other matters are of concern, contact Carol for removal.\u00a0 Antonio continues to do good work.<\/p>\n
Automatic irrigation water system in the medians is working well and we\u2019re asking homeowners to consider installation.<\/p>\n
Dog poop continues to be a problem.<\/p>\n
Inquiry regarding LED lamp replacement for lampposts requires a $450 initial investment per post for the conversion kit.\u00a0 We currently pay home owners apprx. $125 annually for electricity usage from street lights. \u00a0Current lamps are not high energy use so is the conversion worth the investment?\u00a0 Are solar powered lamps an option? \u00a0\u00a0Karen will research the matter and a vote will be put to the community on how to handle street light issues.<\/p>\n
Plants will be native\/ornamental grasses and hearty plants that can withstand the tumultuous weather.\u00a0 The Grounds Committee has been given the ok to replace plants and to fill in bald patches, though the budget will not support a major project.\u00a0 If home owners want to pay for plants, the can submit request and the Grounds Committee will approve and plant.<\/p>\n

Eleanor and Bob will be leaving by the 1st<\/sup> of September and a call for volunteers went out without much response.\u00a0 We will need a treasurer.\u00a0 Eleanor has a list of tasks and will be open to reviewing the QuickBooks system.\u00a0 There\u2019s an HOA computer for keeping the books.\u00a0 Annell is also leaving the community (April\/May) and will need to be replaced as a board member.\u00a0 With the changing community we should consider going from 9 board members to 5.\u00a0 After discussion it was determined that 7 might be optimal.\u00a0 This will have to be voted on next January (2015) due to changing the by-laws and a 2\/3 vote.\u00a0 If there\u2019s no response, a bookkeeper with have to be hired which will cause HOA assessments to increase.\u00a0 Decreasing the number of board member was motioned and approved.\u00a0 Discussion will continue and a vote will be held next year.<\/p>\n Roads- Karen volunteered her husband Tom to lead the charge on the roads project.\u00a0 Probably can\u2019t begin until April or May 2014.\u00a0 Requires expertise in architecture and engineering.\u00a0 Short term and long term goals should be developed and evaluated to address current and long range road conditions.\u00a0 Permanent and part time homeowners can participate in the planning process and part time homeowners will be contacted for the \u201ccall to action\u201d.<\/p>\n The idea of selling community property to build the capital budget was discussed and is a less favorable approach.<\/p>\n Suddenlink is an ongoing issue and Kim is going to call on behalf of the community.<\/p>\n Please look at water meters, as several are an issue regarding flooding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meeting adjourned at 8:37pm<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Post Forest Annual Progressive Party and Meeting January 21, 2014 Attendees: Carol, Kim, Kim Carr, Antonio, John Cozad, Bob, Eleanor,\u00a0 Jack, Carol Benson, Joyce, Meredith Collier, Malcolm, Ozden Ochoa, Rhonda, Karen Kim called the meeting to order at 7:10pm at # 17.
