4.0   APPROVAL OF MINUTES – Motion by Glen Grossman, seconded by Betty Lauritsen, to accept minutes from 03/21/06. Motion carried.

5.0   REPORTS

5.01          FINANCIAL REPORTS –Director Grossman asked if the gardeners had been in advance for work done in April.  Since the invoice had been paid and he didn’t remember seeing it, he asked Chaffers to insure Amrik Chand had sent us the audit.  The board requested that Chaffers distribute the audit to homeowners so we are in compliance with regulations.  Chaffer reviewed the financial statement.  Motion by Candy Pollock, seconded by Betty Lauritsen, to accept (subject to audit) the financial statement.

5.02          NEW RESIDENT INFORMATION REPORT – Director Lauritsen and Lynn Bomburger reported they had welcomed new residents in Units 54 (Sunday Spencer and her 4-year old son, Christian).  President Rugar reported the new owners of Unit 72 (Munoz) will not be fulltime, but will not be renting their unit out.

5.03          WEBSITE REPORT – Director Grossman reported that the domain name expires in June.  President Rugar requested he bring renewal prices to the next meeting so that we can vote on renewal.

5.04          GARDENING REPORT – Director Pollock reported that the gardeners have been challenged by the rain, but have continued to replace plants as required and are working on some irrigation issues.  Marce Grossman said they had replaced only one of two plants that had been removed and requested a specific plant be placed in the corner.  Director Lauritsen thanked them for removing a jade plant.

5.05          MAINTENANCE REPORT

-         President Rugar reported that the pedestrian gate lock had broken and had been repaired at a cost of approximately $200.

-         President Rugar reported on a quote he received from Sun Rain to install a shelf over the gutters to keep them clear.  The price was $11,500 to do that for only second story gutters.  They quoted $3800 to only clean second story gutters.   Director Pollock suggested they install the shelf on one building so we could see how well it functions.  After discussion, he will do further research on alternative solutions.

-         Marce Grossman suggested the gutter on their patio needs to be sunk further into the ground.

-         President Rugar contacted a couple of termite companies to see what it would cost to inspect the units.  One came out at no cost and provided a report.  President Rugar will review it and report back next month.
