v Old Business
§ Committee Report – Legal Counsel Search
Louis Vilardo made a motion to make a resolution to hire the Dicker, Krivok law firm to do the covenant amendments and to handle any new business. All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously.
§
Concrete street posts
Board members discussed surveying the homeowners to determine if they want to
keep the street posts and refurbish them or remove the street posts. Dave Mastran
suggested a questionnaire be included in a packet to the homeowners before the
annual meeting to also ask if the homeowners would support the implementation
of fines for covenant violations. The Board discussed whether to provide a
survey or ballot to the homeowners for the two issues. Dave Mastran said, “I
believe some Board members do not wish to be bound by the Association”. Louis
Vilardo offered to draft a survey to the homeowners regarding signs and fines.
§ Implementation of fines
Homeowner Bob Kildea submitted a resolution
to the Covenants Paragraph XV that allows the Board to implement fines. He
strongly requested the update be included on the ballot at the annual
homeowners’ meeting. Jim Jackson suggested the Board provide the following Covenant
changes to the Dicker, Krivok law firm for review:
1) implementation of fines
2) typographical errors
3) clarification of roof specifications on detached buildings
4) definition of small business
Bob Kildea inquired the status of the Stropp fence issue. Kathy Greene said there has been no response from the attorney.

§ Ellison Wilson tree trimming

should hire a service to maintain the property, and put a lien on the property

enforcement. Blas Contreras distributed a list of violations to Board members.
Jim Jackson suggested the addresses of corrected violations be removed from the
list. The list could then be submitted to the County for enforcement. Blas
