Meeting
called to order at 7:00pm by Mark Southern
-Minutes: Shelly read the minutes for August 2003. Minor corrections were made and the August
minutes were approved.
-Treasurer’s
Report: Jill
reported that the account balance is $34,005.00
One
delinquent payment for homeowner’s dues was received. Jill received the annual nonprofit
corporation report from the Secretary of State and requested Shelly to complete
and return the form. Jill also reported
that our water bill is 3 times as high as it was last year at this time. Our landscaping company has been working on
our watering system over the summer and should now have all leaks
repaired. Mark reported that the water
is now turned off. Jill will call the
City of Bellevue to have our water account deactivated for the winter.
Park
Paths: Mark reported that in
preparation for the path repaving, the tree roots have now all been cut. Don worked on the paths in our park, and Mark
worked on the path to Sammamish Beach Club at the end of 194th Ave,
SE. Ryan of Able Paving is in the
process of cutting out the required 18” of grass, so the gravel could be spread
for the repaving. Able will also jack
hammer specific areas of the SBC path.
The last step for prepping the SBC path is to remove the protruding
corner of the homeowner’s raised planting bed.
Rules Committee/Covenant
Changes:
David reported that we have received approximately 141 votes in favor of
the Covenant changes, 9 No votes, and 139 unreturned ballots. David printed out copies of a list of the
homeowners who have not returned their ballots and gave them to each board
member. Sections of the list were
divided up and assignments were made for each board member to make an attempt
at obtaining signatures for the unreturned ballots.
David reported that the deadline to file the
Covenant changes is October 30th. We
should have a working list of which signatures are still required by our
October 17th meeting.
Government
Affairs:
David reported that the South Lake Sammamish Association, SLSA,
postponed their September 18th meeting to September 30th,
2003 in order to accommodate King County Councilman, David Irons’
schedule. The main topics for discussion
will be road safety and repair. One goal
of SLSA is for completion of as much road repair as possible prior to
annexation in order not to be viewed as a burden to Issaquah.
-Park/Landscaping: Mark
reported that signature Landscaping will give us a proposal on re-doing our
park sprinkler system in order to obtain optimum watering. Mark advised that most likely, we would find
that our current system of 8 different zones is adequate and can be regulated
by ourselves. Jill reported that the
park “poop-scoop” bags have arrived and will be installed near the tennis
courts.
-Beach: Craig reported that he spoke to Tom Franklin
of Marshall Dock regarding the manufacturer of the buoys, and possible
solutions other than simple replacement.
Some of the buoys that are not broken can be snapped back together; but
they tend to come apart again. The buoys
appear to be inferior to the type we had previously. Craig advised that Tom Franklin must be more
responsible for the outcome and will continue to work with him. Craig reported that the 2nd ladder
has not been re-installed onto our dock.
He will speak to Mike Quaranta and confirm how the dock is anchored in
order to keep the dock safe.
-Architectural
Review Committee: Don reported that at our next
homeowners’ meeting in October, the new roofing materials information should be
ready for review. Don reported that 1
Application for a fence was submitted and approved.
David confirmed that some of us still have mailbox keys that belong to “extra” boxes at some of the new mailbox stations. Each of us will write a note to the mail carrier, requesting that the key be kept in the vacant box. The note should be placed in the out-going mail slot.
Annual Meeting: David inquired about the best option for obtaining a quorum to elect the board members. David reported that sending out pre-stamped post card ballots would get the best responses. A motion was made to authorize approximately $64.00 for the purchase of pre-stamped post cards. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Meeting
was adjourned.
