Nancy Adam has not paid her association fee for several years. The board has agreed to send a notice of intent to foreclose on the property. GinnyPalumbo to contact a real estate attorney and title company.
Several lots are only paying for one lot, not two. Letters went to homeowners who only paid for one lot. We did receive payment for some of them. Liens placed on other lots not paid for.
Next dues letter will include the total amount due, to avoid any confusion.
Short term rentals. A motion was made at a meeting on February 25, 2021 to add a rule no short term rentals. Need to send a letter to homeowners to vote on short term rentals. Amy Volkmann wants to discuss at the October 7, 2023 meeting and have an actionable plan.
Should we hold a public meeting to discuss the change of the bylaws?

40 homeowners have not confirmed their gate key numbers. These will be deactivated.
Still need to decide on a set of gate codes for the pavilion, emergency, and vendors.
100 more keys have been ordered and received.

Cameras have been installed in various areas. Cameras have caught several people jumping the fence.
Fixing the wall Chris Wolf has volunteered to be part of the committee to help repair the wall. The cost of the wall will be between $6,000-$9,000 to fix and put part of the retaining wall back. Alternatives would be a step down with railroad ties at the cost of $4,000 because of Ben Fletcher donating his time and excavator to repair. Otherwise the cost would be $10,000 plus to repair..
