Treasury Report: Dante Archangeli gave report, see attached sheet for details.

Old Business:

a. Construction Application: Jim Wezelman presented the final version for Tanis Duncan (association attorney) to review. Once Tanis has reviewed it then the Board will discuss how to proceed.

b. Tudisco home problem: The home on lot 23 has been under construction for a year and a half. Still waiting on a survey of the land to check the set backs of the driveway. The construction committee will be taking over this issue and working with Tudisco on rectifying the situation. Construction committee will report back with a time frame for this at the next meeting. Roy Freiden has also volunteered to help with this matter.

c. Special Assessment, status and review of procedure for ballot counting: It was pointed out that after careful review yesterday by Tanis Duncan, who specialized in HOA law, found no procedural or legal problems with the entire ballot process. It was also pointed out that the Board study in 1991 regarding the takeover of the Cat #8 private roads by the county mandated that all the roads be brought up to county standards first, at the homeowners expense, which was estimated at the time to be a cost of $3000 per home owner. Then the county would only consider, not guarantee, taking over the maintenance thereafter. Inquires regarding the same issue by the Cat #9 Presidents on repeated occasions last year revealed that the policy remains unchanged. The meeting was then opened up to homeowners present. No conclusion was made other than at the April 13th meeting of the association, there will be an official counting of the ballots and a final decision on road repair will have been made. Many homeowners spoke and expressed their deep resentment of the project and of the board. Some people believed that the roads did not need repair, some people thought that the roads did need repair but did not want to pay since they live on a county road, some people thought the roads needed repair and were willing to pay but not unless a whole new vote was taken with all information regarding humps and bumps taken out of the equation.

New Business:

a. Garbage Collection: Tony Lubberman will look into potentially switching services to a company with lighter trucks to preserve road quality. The current trash collection is through Waste Management.

b. Buffel Grass: This is a potential fire hazard issue. Pamphlets are available to learn more. Tony Lubberman wants Rural Metro to come out and survey the neighborhood for Buffel Grass and other potential plant hazards. He is going to contact them to see what they will do to help detect hazards in our neighborhood.

c. Survey of Zorrela Segundo residents regarding the "bumps": Majority of people on Zorrela Segundo want them.
