The first item of business was the ARC Report. There was nothing to report at this time.

The next item of business was the Road Report. Native Excavating will be contacted to replace a speed limit sign that was knocked down during plowing.

The next item of business was review of the Annual Meeting Packet under Other Business. The packets will be mailed out at the end of the next week. Discussion ensued and issues of Board governance were also covered. Board Member Report responsibilities were discussed. It will be recommended at the Annual Meeting that the issue of updating the ARC Guidelines be resumed.

Discussion ensued regarding the Financials and proposed 2010 Association Budget prepared by Commercial Property Group. It was noted that there have been increases in the cost of administration/accounting, insurance and taxes. Replacement of worn street signs will be addressed this year. The Board reviewed each line item, adjusting some items and adding a line item for a neighborhood party in the amount of $750. The proposed Budget shows a small excess of income over expenses. There being no further discussion Tomas made a motion to recommend that the Budget as modified be presented to the Association members for approval at the upcoming annual meeting and it was seconded by Tim. The motion was approved unanimously.

The owner of Lot 41 has asked to meet with the Board in March and has requested that a portion of his third quarter 2009 water usage fee be suspended until that meeting. After some discussion, the Board agreed that a letter be sent in response, acknowledging his request, but there will be no suspension of the incurred fee though the Board welcomes him to present his point of view at the next scheduled Board meeting or he may communicate in other ways if unable to attend the meeting.

The next meeting will be February 25th at 9:00 a.m.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.




Respectfully submitted,
Stephanie McDonald
Secretary for the meeting
