Warren Deutsch, Maintenance Manager, stated that fertilization will begin this week, repairs and improvements to the irrigation system are on-going, some back-filling is being done in the new concrete areas and edging is being reset where needed. A new employee is working on pruning from the southeast area of the complex and working to the north, pruning what in not covered in the landscaper contract.

The warranty work from Brannan Sand and Gravel for the 2004 asphalt work needs to be addressed. The Board requested a written response from Brannan as to when the work will be performed, hopefully before the seal-coating project begins. Another option would be for the Association to do the work themselves and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to recover the cost.

Homeowners present at the meeting discussed the upcoming request for a dues increase and the overcrowded landscaping. Several homeowners volunteered for a phone committee to contact owners to remind them to submit their vote regarding the dues increase.

The Board decided to have a capital improvement planning meeting on August 26, 2006 at the clubhouse at 9:00 am to prioritize all short-term and long-term projects.

Dick Campbell made a motion that the Association repair the split-rail fence on the south side of the property for an estimated $365.00 and recover ½ the cost from the shopping center management company, after the management company agrees in writing to do so. The motion was seconded by Don Rothschild and was passed.

The Board reviewed the dues increase letter and written proxy for mailing July17th. Loren Rohl reported that the air conditioning work in the clubhouse is about half done and should be completed this week.

A proposal to trim 31 cottonwood trees for an estimated $18,600.00 was presented. The Board will review the proposal at the August planning meeting. The owner of 2503 East Geddes Avenue is concerned with the grading around the unit and has offered to pay for rock, fabric and plantings. The Board tabled this request until the August planning meeting, but asked Warren to address the grading issue.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
