Catalina Foothills Association No. 8 Board of Directors Meeting: December 12, 2006

BOD Attendees: Robert Reynolds, Jenna Cohen, Dante Archangeli, Janis Johnson, John Gray, John Tierney, and Vicki Kalen

Homeowner attendees: None

1. Approval of November Minutes: Review of old minutes and unanimously approved with minor change. Change was the addition of Leo Kreuger's name as the person responsible for removing erroneous road construction signs from the neighborhood. Minutes will be posted on the Association website.
2. Treasurer's Report: All but 17 home owners have paid their annual dues. Dante is confident that most of those will come in very soon on their own, there may only be a couple of home owners who will need a little extra attention to pay their dues. Dante agreed to deposit all checks that he receives from the association at least one time per month, it might be more often, but no longer than one month, so that checks are not held for more than one month.

Old Business:

1. Review of and distribution of old association files: Rick Graap the 2005-2006 President distributed 10 boxes of old association files that he received from Joel Katleman the 2004-2005 President. A list of the contents of the boxes and who has what is attached to these minutes.

2. Review of the first CC&R committee meeting: The committee suggested researching a new association attorney, the board voted on this and decided we would solicit ideas from the association and then the board would make the decision of whether to switch or stay with our current attorney, Tanis Duncan. The committee is also recommending to the board that even though the board has the authority to make any and all changes to the CC&R's without association approval it would be a good idea to get at least a majority of association buy in before making any changes. The board will vote on this topic at the next meeting and make a final decision of if they want association buy-in and if so at what percentage. The committee is putting together a letter that it would like the board to send to the association requesting ideas for suggested changes to the CC&R's, there will be a timeline for this and the attorney suggestions of 2 weeks. The letter will be approved by the board before being sent on behalf of the board.

3. Discussion of Transfer Fee: In response to inquiries regarding the implementation and increase of the association transfer fee, the board will research the process and intent and respond to the homeowners. The board will also look into what other comparable associations charge for their transfer fee. The CC&R committee is coming up with some language to add to the new CC&R's or By-Laws to define what this fee is and how it is established.

4. Speed Humps on Zorrela Segundo: There has been concern by one homeowner about the speed humps on Zorrela Segundo diverting traffic to Camino Miraval. The Roads Committee chair person, Vicki Kalen will address this concern with the homeowner.

5. Plaza Colonia Shopping Center Traffic Notification: The Plaza Colonial Shopping Center on the South West corner of Campbell and Skyline is having an appreciation party for their business owners on Thursday December 14, 2006 from 5-9pm. There will be light Jazz music. The traffic should not affect our neighborhood due to it not bordering our area; they are just required to notify us due to our proximity to the plaza.

6. Listserv: The current listserv is set up to be a communication by the Board to the association and then from individual homeowners back to the board. It is not set up as an open communication between homeowners. There is a directory with email addresses, and phone numbers for people who wish to have their email address and phone number made public. If a homeowner wants to talk to another homeowner they need to use the directory for email, phone or mail and make contact that way. Many homeowners on the listserv do not have published email addresses and have made it very clear that they do not want them public.

New Business:

1. Future Agendas: Robert Reynolds, President, has agreed to post the agenda for the upcoming meeting on the association website 2 days prior to the board meeting and then Jenna Cohen, Secretary will email out the agenda to the association via the listserv.

2. Architectural updates: All of the following information will be sent out to each homeowner by mail.
a. Lot 51: Requested approval of a garage addition and additional landscaping. The request was approved subject to payment of the required construction compliance deposit and receipt of the plans approved by the Pima County Building Department.
b. Lot 130: Requested a kitchen and porch addition. The proposed work appears to be in conformance with the CC&R's, but the information provided was incomplete. Based on the information that was provided it seems that approval is likely, but formal action on the request will not be made until after complete final plans are submitted to the Association
c. Lot 23: Requested approval of a new garage, guest house, ramada, driveway, and additional landscape. Some portions of the proposed design were not in compliance with the CC&R's and the information provided was incomplete so the request was denied. A resubmittal for the garage and driveway is required, or the garage and drive need to be built in accordance with the originally preliminarily approved plans. Currently the garage built with the original house has been converted to living space and the north drive is in a location that has not been approved.
