Lot 114 still has an outside structure in the back.

Rural Metro: No new news.

New Business:
There has been homeowner complaint regarding church parking on Camino Miraval and Camino Zorella during Sunday services. Jenna Cohen has contacted Lt. Theel at the Foothills Station requesting immediate action. Lt. Theel refused to issue tickets immediately, but suggested a 3 week wait period. Jenna Cohen strongly disagreed and requested that immediate action be taken due to safety concerns. Lt. Theel has contacted the church and the church will notify their members of the problems with parking on local streets. We will monitor the situation until February 17th. If cars are still parking on the street on February 17th the homeowners in the area will contact Jenna Cohen and 911. Tickets will be issued at that time.

Letter from Nancy Barlow reviewed. She has multiple concerns which included the following:
Lot 92 is leaving garbage cans out all winter. Roy Frieden will check on this.

She asked whether Lot 23 had further plans for renovation. We will wait to hear from Lot 23.

Ms. Barlow is concerned about animal fecal debris. The Board will consider sending a letter to homeowners regarding this.

Ms. Barlow was concerned about the islands on the cul de sacs and suggested that neighborhood teams be organized to self monitor the areas.

Robert Reynolds delivered boxes of old Board records for storage at the time of the January 8, 2008 meeting. There are 3 boxes in total. Currently Claudia Riche is in possession of one of them and John Gray will obtain it from her. In the future we will go through the boxes as a Board and organize them. John Gray will provide plastic storage bins for easier storage of these records once they have been edited.

John Tierney has suggested that renter's names be included in the directory alongside the homeowners. The Board agreed.

The Board discussed the vacancy created by Claudia Riche's resignation. John Tierney suggested that LaMarshell Karnas be elected to the Board. Roy Frieden seconded this suggestion. The Board unanimously agreed to invite Ms. Karnas to become a Board member.

Janis Johnson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. This was seconded by Robert Reynolds and the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.

Respectively submitted John Gray
