Minutes

Bruce Whitley called the meeting to order at 7:32 pm.

  1. The minutes for the April meeting were approved unanimously. Richard Hemingway was asked to correct the date to April 9.
  2. Financial and Operations: Brad Ward commented that all, except one, Homeowner dues had now been collected. The pool has been open since May 1. A number of problems with equipment were encountered but soon corrected. The new pool covers are in use and the self closing gates are working well. Brad also discussed other pool improvements and his quote for new fencing. There is interest in replacing some or all existing fencing. Bruce Whitley asked Board members to look at the existing fencing and come to the June meeting with recommendations of what if anything we need to do in 2007.
  3. New Signage at the pool for Homeowner events. Nazri reported on progress for the proposed vinyl signs. The meeting approved the overall designs with large letters and plastic pockets to allow dates to be changed as needed. The meeting sanctioned $400 for Nazri to order the one for the Labor Day picnic as a test before ordering the remaining three signs.
  4. Potluck event. Nazri reported that this will be held at the swim pool on Saturday May 19 from 6:00 to 10:00 pm. She has ordered Margarita machines and other drinks. Homeowners are asked to bring a dish to share. Bruce Whitley and Richard Hemingway agreed to be there at 6:00 pm to deal with the Margarita machines. The pool will be open and pool covers left off.
  5. Newsletters: Nazri asked for discussion to be postponed to the June meeting.
  6. Swim Team Expansion. Steve Bartis will attend the next swim team meeting. The Board asked Steve to notify the Swim Team Board by letter that they should gain approval from the HomeownersÕ Board for their plans and higher fees for the 2008 season.
  7. Landscaping: Jim Cunnane now has the plans on a disk and they have been put on the HomeownersÕ Web site for comments. A partial copy and notice will also be on display at the pool so that comments could be collected by end of June. The meeting approved an increased monthly fee to purchase additional capacity for the HomeownersÕ web site
  8. Proposed land use by the Acalanes School District: Irene Gessling had attended a recent meeting on this matter. Irene reported that there will be other meetings before any decisions are taken. Irene commented that a woman from Miramonte had attended with a petition from the residents, local to Miramonte. Irene agreed to post a map and letter at the pool to keep Homeowners informed of the situation. No other action will be taken at this time.
  9. The meeting was notified that Mike Dechenne and Richard Hemingway do not intend to progress their informational note on roofing materials.
  10. Parking near the High School. The meeting decided that no action was needed at this time.
  11. Street lighting on Campolindo Drive near the High School. This had been promised at one time but was never installed. Bruce Whitley agree to look into this and report back at the June meeting.
  12. Richard Hemingway agreed to send minutes from 2007 meetings to Jim Sauerberg for posting on the web site.
