January 14, 2010 Board Meeting\ \ Meeting was called to order at 6:30 pm.\ \ Board Members present were Dave Zeemont, President; Steve Bailey, Secretary; Larry Felhauer and Barbara Rose Farber, Directors at Large.\ \ Also present were Lamar Harrison, Design Chair; William Webber, Mailbox Committee; Dave Wright, Gates Chair; Kathy Mayer, Webmaster; Bob Crowley, Erosion Control Chair.\ \ Minutes from the previous meeting were approved.\ \ The Treasurer was not present, so no Treasurer's report was issued.\ \ Dave Wright, Gates Chair, announced that he does a check on the gates at least once a month to make sure everything is working smoothly. The batteries are working fine; however, he noticed that the Barcelona Gate emergency signal opener was not working properly. Moisture had gotten inside the seal and caused corrosion to form. The problem has been repaired. He stated that he had sold five opening clickers to owners. Also, the burned-out spotlight on Anthem has been replaced.\ \ Dave was asked about the lime leaching through the gates, most obviously at the Barcelona Gate. After some discussion, it was decided that it would not take much to repair them and he will look into getting someone to do the work.\ \ Lamar Harrison, Design Committee Chair, officially stepped down as Chair. William Webber, a current Committee Member, was nominated to take his place and the Board voted unanimously in favor. Lamar stated that he would be happy to remain on the Committee if wanted; William has asked for anyone wishing to be on the Design Committee to contact him ( [This email address is being protected from spambots.

It was decided that the member list would reflect anyone's wishes not to have their information published. Although the list appears on a secure site (password protected) , residents may opt out of having their email address and/or telephone numbers listed there. It was also noted that the Website is a perfect spot to locate the CC&Rs and By Laws of the Association.\ \ Barbara Rose Farber, Landscaping Chair, announced that Kelly Dickson has agreed to do emergency storm cleanup with his skidster when needed. Kelly would charge $75 per hour for the skidster and $15 per hour for his labor. This work would be done at the request of the Landscaping Chair following any major soil removal from our roads following a storm. In addition to being a lot cheaper than hiring the landscaping company, this would also allow us to better judge whose property could be charged for the work if it is shown to be their responsibility for the damage.\ \ Bob Crowley, Erosion Control Chair, announced that his committee had purchased a pump and assorted hoses, etc and has now drained the large ponds and several of the smaller ones. County regulations require a quick draining of the ponds for health and safety reasons and owning our own pump will prove to be far cheaper than renting pump and equipment each time it is needed. Bob also announced that Kelly Dickson had been hired by the property owners of two lots to repair the erosion damage and to prevent further flooding/dumping of large amounts of soil on north Sonnet Court. Bob has also been in contact with property owners about repairing ponds F and H on north Constitution Road. In addition, the drainage problem involving Lots 34, 35, 36, and 37 would most likely require input from the County as well as consultation with a qualified engineer to develop a plan to re-route the water collected in the "dead-end" ponds.\ \ The Board discussed a lighting problem that was brought up by a resident. The resident complained about a light shining in her eyes at night from a neighbor. Although the light is in compliance with the CC&Rs, the Board will try to work out a solution. Barbara Rose Farber will handle it.\ \ Dave Zeemont announced that the PRC has acknowledged our complaint against the water company regarding the large over charge for water this past spring. The PRC has given PHUC 20 days to either fix the problem or to challenge their findings.\ \ The remaining part of the meeting was spent on the agenda for the General Membership Meeting which will be held on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 6 pm at the Country Club. A short version of the agenda will be sent out via a separate email.\ \ Meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.\ \ Respectfully submitted,\ Steve Bailey\ CRNA Secretary\ January 15, 2010
