Homeowners open forum agenda only: Richard E. brought up that anyone buying a C Can should be able to buy a Tuff Shed that would blend in with the rest of the property. Trying to hide a C Can is hard to do with most lots being visible from at least two streets. Was asked to hold his thoughts till the item was brought up to see if we have answered his questions at that time. He also felt the divers were unnecessary expense and they may be better way, ultrasound, to check the tank, this was mute as the tank cleaning was already done and would be covered in Kevin’s report.
Financial Report: Linda presented. We have one outstanding account but was promised check was in the mail. She is working on the 2020 budget and a discussion was held as to whether we should raise the Reserve Assessment. It is currently $300.00 per lot and 25% or 50% raise was discussed. This account is for “fixed assets” only and we have held to this amount from the beginning of the assessment that is required by state. An informal poll of the board was 4 to 1 in favor of the 25%, but Linda will give a comparison at the next meeting. Richard E. stated if it wasn’t for the BLM lease, we would not need it. Held over to next meeting.
Airport Mgr. report: Bill Poole was absent but sent a report: stated that the airport inspection is scheduled for 10/3 about noon. Stated the taxiway signs have been installed and will reschedule the windsock rewire soon. No problems were reported. Carl reported the Lindbergh sign was replaced with the correct spelling. Elaine stated she would investigate what it takes to correct the spelling with County and changing Texas to Beech. Will also check with Water Resources to correct their records on well ownership. It is correct in office files but does not show when accessing on the internet.
Arch committee: 810 Eagle brought plans to install fencing and setbacks and regulations were discussed. Will get with committee members and board members and bring before next meeting.
Unfinished business: a. Water report. Kevin reported on the repairs to the injector pump, pipe repairs on Beech (cause unknown, possible damaged in the earthquake) and the pipe repair on Geronimo caused by a contractor. The owner will be billed on this one. He gave a summary of the report the divers prepared of the tank inspection. Shon is preparing to put it on the website. In meantime a picture of the sediment pumped out of the tank was circulated. They stated the tank is in good condition overall and suggested we check again the 3 years. Elaine reported that the Water Quality Report for 2018, that is prepared by Utility Services, was posted on the bulletin board back in July. It was missed in the next Newsletter and will be put in the October Newsletter notifying all owners that they can request a copy. b. C Can containers: reviewed the draft of the amendment to the Rules and Regs. It was suggested that a time limit for the unit to be painted be added. Will be presented at the next meeting. Discussed the procedure for the amendment…. Board to approve, sent to the membership, and a 30-day time period the amendment passes if there is not a simple majority to disapprove.
New Business: a: Carl resigned as board member due to moving out of state, effective immediately.
Open meeting: Reminded that the elections for board members is coming up and to watch for info in the coming Newsletters. Larisa is looking into a grass that has very low water need that she wants to try. Putting in a area as it is seed. All expressed interest and will be watching to see how it goes for her. She will provide the board with all information.
