Secretary’s Report

The minutes of January 2007 meeting were accepted with minor corrections.

Treasurer’s Report

First Quarter: dues received = $9395; 8 homeowners late on current dues, 1 owner short paid, 2 owners have 12 months outstanding due, 2 owners have legal fees assessed = 13 follow up letters.

Greenlink has submitted a new contract to us, we suspect that they lost the copy that we sent to them late 2006. They did not change the fees for 2007 from the 2006 contract, and state that in 2008 costs will not rise more than 3%, and may remain the same. We are considering changing landscape companys, if the price is right and the reputation is good. The current contract with Greeenlink is $15,427.50, divided into 11 payments of $1,402.50 commencing in February. John Patton was to investigate the current status of the Greenlink contract.

After renegotiating the contract for trash pickup with Allied, we have received a better offer from Ecology trash company. They are offering $2.00 less per house per month, and adding a free bulk pick-up spring and fall. Michele investigated Ecology’s services and references. Costs would be $5.50 per household x 104 = $572/month. Next day pick-up on holidays, 2x year bulk collection that we schedule, Christmas tree pick up. The Board suggested to pursue terminating Allied contract in favor of Ecology contract.

AERC Report

Christopher Hitchens, the association attorney, believes it will be between one and three months to complete the pond maintenance transfer. The recent change in the County Executive has caused the delay, as the County Executive signs the transfer, and also the staff is hanging at this time.

It was suggested that parking spaces in need of immediate repair be completed as soon as possible, preferably by Asphalt Paving, Inc.

The Board discussed replacing dead trees and shrubs in 2007, estimating the cost at about $900. Approval was given pending the funding being available.
