OLD BUSINESS
1. Dual Irrigation. A letter is to be drafted which will be sent to the homeowners outlining the Association’s position on dual irrigation. Lois was to have the letter ready for review at this meeting, however it was not done. Lois is to draft this letter and send to the Board before the next meeting.
2. Legal Opinion on Common Wall. Discussion of the legal opinion received from the lawyers stating they cannot conclusively say who owns the perimeter wall. The lawyers suggested that a survey should be taken. After further discussion, Bob made a motion for the Association to continue to maintain the perimeter walls and advise our attorneys we are so doing. Nick seconded. All in favor.
3. Legal Opinion about swing set. Discussion of legal opinion received by attorneys about the swing set constructed without ARC approval. After further discussion, Lois made a motion to ask Linda to write a letter to the homeowner telling them they need to request ARC approval. Nick seconded. All in favor.
4. Internet Voting. Lois stated our attorneys stated if a vote needs to be taken between regular Board meetings, it should be by the Secretary speaking to each Board member to get their vote. This way it prevents anyone thinking there was a Board meeting over the internet without notice.
5. Reserves. Discussion of Reserve categories and new laws governing same. After further discussion, Lois made a motion to keep our Reserves as Non-Statutory. Pat seconded. All in favor.
6. Tennis courts. Bob said he would like to meet with both companies who submitted bids to discuss with them.
7. Irrigation Box on Esplanade court. Caryl Shapiro stated she has changed her mind and does not want the box removed because it would upset the lawn and plants. Bob suggested putting in a second breaker. This item was tabled.
8. Budget. Discussion of the budget. Lois suggested removing the contingency category and moving those funds to the operating budget. Bob suggested removing the clubhouse category from reserves. It was decided that categories would be consolidated before the budget is presented to the membership and Board in October.


NEW BUSINESS
1. Insurance. Linda discussed the renewal of our insurance. After further discussion, Pat made a motion to approve the insurance renewal. Nick seconded. All in favor.
2. C.D.’s at Fifth Third Bank. Lois described that our CD’s need a signature every 5 years. The person who set up our two CD’s five years ago was with a previous management company. Someone from the Board now needs to be a signature on the account in order to bring them up to date. After further discussion, Pat made a motion to make Lois Gilbert a signature on the account to manage our C.D.’s at Fifth Third Bank. Nick seconded. All in favor.
3. Landscaping. After much discussion, it was decided that Bob would talk to Carol King Landscaping and advise them their work will be monitored until the end of the year and their performance will be reviewed at that time and the Board will then decide whether to renew their contract for another year. We will ask them to continue until the end of 2007. In December, the Board will review their work and decide whether to renew their contract.
4. Removal of Dead Trees. After discussion, Lois made a motion to have the 2 dying trees in the Clegg’s yard and one dead palm tree on Lisbon Court removed. Pat seconded. Pat, Nick, and Lois were in favor. Bob objected.

The remaining items on the Agenda were not discussed as we ran out of time.
