minutes as recorded by Clinton Thelander, unanimous.
b. M/S/C: Kret/Chatley to approve the June 20, 2012 Board of Directors
meeting minutes as recorded by Clinton Thelander, unanimous.
Financial
a. M/S/C: Kret/Chatley to accept the May and June financial reports as
submitted, unanimous.
b. Delinquent accounts: The Board reviewed the latest delinquent homeowner
list and reviewed the account summary information reports as supplied from
ASAP Collection Services. M/S/C: Daskalakis/Kret to proceed with personal
debt collection on a prior owner, lost home due to foreclosure, who owes
the HOA money; unanimous.
Cal Fire presentation: Representatives from Cal Fire are present to address
concerns that residents have voiced to them and members of the Board about
the strange electrical phenomena sometimes seen at the temporary electrical
poles. The electric corona observed is a naturally occurring phenomenon that
occurs when dust accumulates on the porcelain conductors and when there is a
foggy night. The minerals in the dust and the water vapor act as
conductors/tracking, thereby creating the corona. This is not a fire safety
concern. While PG&E periodically washes the porcelain conductors to prevent
these coronas, however, they do not wash them on distribution poles.
Committee Reports
a. Rule Enforcement/Violation Log: The Board reviewed the tracking
spreadsheet and letters sent. The Board reviewed correspondence received
from owners in response to management’s violation letters.
b. Architectural Review (Julie Kato): Minor repair and repainting applications
have been submitted and approved.
c. Waste Water Treatment Plant (Glen Chatley/Art Testani): Glen reported that
the troublesome field pump has been fixed and programming should occur
next week. Management was asked to see if Chris Hauge can attend the next
meeting.
d. Security (Stef Daskalakis): Installation is scheduled for the first week of
August.
e. Finance: No chair, no report.
f. Website/Newsletter (Testani/Kato): Management was asked to add a
classified section in the newsletter for homeowners to sell/give away. A
homeowner requested that an explanation of how to drive around a
roundabout be included in the next newsletter as too many residents are
cheating and thus driving into oncoming traffic.
g. Social (Sara Freiberg): The Board would like to encourage a welcoming
committee but feel that it would be better if the adjacent neighbors would
act on behalf of the HOA.
h. Clubhouse (Scott Richards): An updated inventory sheet was submitted to
management.
i. Landscaping (Bob Smith): no report
j. Management: The Board reviewed the action log.
6. Business:
a. Waste Water Treatment Plant: No new activity to report
b. Correspondence: None to review
7. Open Session: Paula Yates read aloud a letter she would like included in the
next mailing by management, the Board liked the letter and agreed and
directed management to include it in the next billing.
8. Adjournment: M/S/C: Kret/Testani with no further business to discuss, to
adjourn the meeting at 8:32 PM. Unanimous.
Respectfully recorded,
Clinton Thelander
