Homeowners Concerns: 
  • Fuels reduction – Ellyn working with a neighbor on King Way who can help us get in touch with Fire Marshalls and possibly grant money for working in the green spaces
    • May look at getting Fire Marshall at an in person meeting in the future
  • Ben – Wondering if anyone knows about the drains work around 95th Ct
    • Drain work on 96th and below, posted on county website [Dave B received a mailer]
    • Is wanting to put up a fence in the near future and wanted to know who to connect to
  • Nancy mentioned seeing something about chip seal for fixing the bad spots in asphalt paths.
    • Less prone to cracking
  • Charlie mentioned fence install at his house [without approval]
    • Kevin had already spoken with him and was going to bring issue to the board at the meeting.
    • Kevin requesting a variance in fence design due to the layout of is lot [fence height is too high forward of house, but Charlie is parking a larger vehicle on side of house].
  • Chuck Zwick brought up issues about renters, upkeep of properties and parking of numerous vehicles
    • Discussion on parking issues in Cts around the HOA.
    • If vehicles are moving once in a while, there is not a lot the HOA can do to prevent parking vehicles in street. Streets are public roads [not private], so we cannot enforce any parking restrictions on vehicles
      • Vehicles in disrepair that do not move for long periods can be fined and/or have the county tow them away as abandoned vehicles [last resort]
    • Upkeep of properties [landscape and rubbish] is the responsibility of the homeowner [regardless of whether they live there or rent it out]
      • Repeat offenses should be brought to the covenants chair so that letters can be sent out and potential fines for offenses
  • Dave Blank brought up issue with financials at the annual meeting not being discussed
    • Wants to know if we can publish on the website
    • Wants to know if we can get it annually [Jan or May meeting, depending on financial cycle]
    • Alternate option would be to post in the newsletter
    • Dave mentioned that as a nonprofit in Oregon, we should have a balance sheet and a P&L statement annually to publish
      • New executive positions to look into the issues brought forth and ensure we are compliant with Oregon laws and HOA rules
 
Officer Elections
  • Roles that need to filled this meeting [officer positions]; President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer
  • Roles that should be filled; Environmental, Covenants, Architectural, Safety
  • Discussion about positions for the new board members to see which assignments might suit them

    • Darrel mentioned being interested in Environmental
    • Chuck mentioned being interested in Architectural
    • Kevin mentioned being interested in taking President role
    • Josh mentioned he would do the VP role, but not alongside the Secretary role
