The meeting was called to order by President Alice Taylor at 10:00
Members present: Keith Martin, Nancy Cockshott, Mike Dolio, Mike Willemsen, Administrative Assistant Cora Bell
A quorum was established.
Correspondence:
Cora presented copies of two letters from homeowners. The first was a response from the tenant in lot #10. The homeowners had previously written her a letter addressing the issues of excessive noise and traffic in the residence. The tenant said they do not park cars on the street and that there was only one occasion when they had a noisy party, and that was in May. Nancy Cockshott stated that there have not been any problems with this residence since last May.
The second letter was from the Ziskins regarding the dead trees on their neighbor’s lot. She requested that the homeowners intervene to ask the Avillas to cut down the dead trees on their lot. The board agreed that a letter should be sent to the Avilla’s to tell them that they need to remove their dead trees. The homeowners have the right to fine them $100 per incident. We need to hear from them within thirty days of the date of the letter to stop the fine. The letter should be sent certified.
Discussion Items: The fire department will be more concerned about vacant lots this year. We will notify them about vacant lots this year.
There are PG & E poles in Lilac park that need to be removed. Alice has called PG& E and nothing was done.
Motherlode.com has information about trees and plantings.
Cora needs to give Mike and the board members a current list of homeowners names and addresses.
Keith Martin expressed concern that the proposed housing development next to his lot his moving forward. The homeowners will protest this development because it would create too much traffic for our narrow roads.
Approval of minutes:
The minutes of the last meeting were read. The date of the meeting was November 4th, not November 3rd. Mike moved and Nancy seconded that the minutes be approved. The minutes were unanimously approved.
Financial Report:
Cora presented the financial statements for 2006, and a summary of checks and deposits for 2007. In the future she will continue to present a summary of the check register instead of a financial statement. This willgive the board more detail. Financial statements will be created at year end for summary and income tax purposes.
Old Business:
Alice will begin to work on the reserve study when the weather clears. We need to decide on some kind of release for pool use after hours. We need to set dates for clean up and repair. We need to identify an access for getting out of Lilac Park in case of a fire that blocks the roadways.
New Business: Gaylord is interested in doing the pool. It was suggested that we not have the pool open after hours. Mike suggested that we get one of the giant debris boxes so people can dump their pine needles and yard debris in it.
