The Minutes of the May 25, 1999 meeting were approved. There were some open issues which needed to be addressed by Howard.

2. TREASURER'S REPORT

Don reported the following balances:

Checking account: $2,213.00

Invested cash: $47,674.00

3. OLD BUSINESS

A. Landscape: The walk-thrus with landscape contractors would be held July 10, 1999, to commence at 9:00 A.M., to meet at the Stirling entrance. Bids would be submitted and would be reviewed at a meeting to be held on July 26 (before the general meeting). It was anticipated that the new contract would start August 1st, but no later than August 15, 1999.

B. DOT Landscaping: There were few residents in attendance at the landscaping meeting. The plans called for a 6' chain-link Fence and a barrier of various size trees and plantings. Bids for the project were expected to go out in January 2000, with the work projected to commence April 2000. It was also mentioned that the sound wall buffer would be considered should the DOT engineers find decimal levels meet their criteria. A letter should be written by Howard concerning this.

C. North Entrance Sign: Rolf Bodstrom is to submit a bid with drawings. A review of DOT's landscaping plans should be reviewed before making a decision on the Board's final plans for the north entrance, i.e., possible wall.

D. Stirling/Hawkes Bluff Lighting: Mike advised that it should take 8 to 10 days for the electric to go in for lighting of the median. Because of the small size of the project, and the recent rains, delays have been encountered.



 

E. Liens: Don reports that for the first time, before the end of June, all assessments for homeowners' fees had been paid.

4. NEW BUSINESS

A. New City: A discussion was had regarding the annexation efforts by Sunshine Ranches and other surrounding communities, in order to form a new city. Mo will contact the members of the Civic Association in an attempt to establish a presentation meeting, of all interested communities, to be held either July 29th or August 3rd. Notice of the scheduled date and time will be furnished.

B. Vandalizm: Vandals have struck again, breaking many of the lights. Any one seeing vandals in action should report the crime to the police.

C. Code Enforcement: The $250.00 charge has now been increased to $1,000.00. The Town will no longer mitigate down damages. The Board has no fining powers regarding code violations.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:12 p.m.

Next Board meeting: July 26, 1999, at 7:30 p.m., at Mo's.

Next General meeting: July 27, 1999.

Respectfully submitted
