6.0   UNFINISHED BUSINESS

6.01  Painting – 4 bids received; wide, wide disparity among all four. TNT by far the highest bid; D&S by far the lowest bid (lower than the total cost to paint in 1996 which resulted in litigation because that contractor underbid the project and then cut corners). Board will focus on the bid from Ekim and the bid from Walls. Rodger Axt and Rutherford to look at projects completed by Ekim and by Walls, contact references, and advise the board at a Special Board meeting on Tuesday, August 24th. Rodger will have his son make inquiry with the Better Business Bureau to ascertain if complaints have been filed against them. Jim Ray will solicit their current boilerplate contract language. Discussion regarding language to go into the specifications: one primer, one finish; painters will paint the gutters if it is easer for them to paint them than to mask them.

Rutherford will have someone remove the vines from the lattices. The gardeners will remove the bushes. Topes Tree Service will be asked to remove trees that are touching the buildings. Pollock recommends eliminating all ivy on lattice fences as the ivy destroys the fences.

Pollock will verify the color selections with the owners.

7.0   NEW BUSINESS

7.01   Violation Hearing #38 – Talia Fittante and Deborah Kaufman appeared. They are the tenants in #38. They declined an Executive Session. Their landlord advised them there were complaints regarding parking in Guest Parking and noise. They dispute any allegation of loud noise. No one in their home owns a stereo. They do not lock their door so no one should be knocking on it late at night. They feel they are being picked on. Rutherford advises he lives next door to them and has not heard loud music. He has heard a knocking sound at night but does not know where it has come from. With respect to Guest Parking, the Dodge Sport Pick-up is not theirs and does not belong to any of their friends (Rutherford advises it belongs to #34), the blue Tercel belongs to a friend and they assumed friends could park in Guest Parking (they have instructed him not to park inside the gate), and the maroon Honda could not fit in the garage because they were in the process of moving in. They intend to comply with all rules from now on and would like a copy of any complaints in the future.
