ESTABLISH A QUORUM
Present were Bob Boshears (President), Glenn McLane (Vice President), Leann Warfield (Director) and Pat Angel (Secretary). A quorum was established.

PROOF OF NOTICE
Notice of the meeting was posted on the web site and a sign was placed at each entrance.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes from the June 21, 2005, Board meeting were being held for corrections.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Bob indicated that the Minutes from the May Board meeting recorded on the website mentioned that a vote was held by email. No vote was held by email. Bob would contact Nicky to correct the May Minutes on the website.

TREASURER’S REPORT
The movement of $1,000 from the contingency reserve to attorney’s fees has been completed.

Bob indicated that delinquent fees under $150 did not accrue late fees and he felt there was no reason to change that policy.

MANAGER’S REPORT
Linda Bryce indicated that during the walk thru of the neighborhood there were trash cans in the front of garages.

Linda suggested that letters be sent to homeowners with maintenance problems if the Board did not question the violation within seven (7) days. The Board discussed the contents of the letters and agreed that the letters needed to be toned down and corrections be made to the grammatical errors in the letters.

Leann made a motion to have the violation letters revised. Bob seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous for approval.

Linda provided a list of violations dated July 9, 2005, for half of GV and indicated that she would complete the list after completing her walk-thru the following week.

OLD BUSINESS
Bob summarized for all present, including the owner of the subject property, Counsel advised, based on the new information presented, (that the GV irrigation system now only exists in the front of the subject yard), that GV residents with dual irrigation systems would be requested to sign a waiver and release in recordable form.

Bob indicated that a building permit is required to construct a shed on the slab in the Recreation Area. Getting the permit will be a problem because the slab is on common ground. Bob will pursue getting approval to construct the building from the Zoning Commission. In the meantime, Bob suggested that a small storage space be rented or request that Don Tracey, Associated Landscape Company, store the pump parts temporarily.

Bob will contact Fast Signs and request a copy of the contract they use with other companies. We will incorporate the verbiage that is used in Fast Signs contract in a request for bid for the signs. Pat will provide the specifications and attachments and Bob will contact sign vendors.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

ARC Committee
