Meeting was called to order at 6:30 pm. Present were Dave Zeemont, President; Steve Bailey, Secretary; Bob Crowley, Treasurer; Larry Felhauer and Dave Wright, Directors at Large. Also present were William Webber, Design Control Chair, and Maxine Webber.

Minutes from the previous meeting were approved. Minutes from the Annual General Membership Meeting were approved.

Bob Crowley, Treasurer, presented the Treasurer’s report (attached.) Nothing out of the ordinary, except that funds were low in the checking account because 2014 assessments have not started to come in yet. This is normal for this time of year. Regarding a question from Steve Bailey earlier, Bob researched the dollar amount that Board members were covered by bond, which he reported as $50,000. That amount, deemed insufficient, prompted Steve to increase the bond amount to $125,000. It passed unanimously.

There was a brief discussion concerning landscaping projects that were planned for 2014 and the fact that funds for landscaping were smaller than in the past. Steve Bailey asked if the road resealing schedule could safely be put off by a year so funds could be used for landscaping projects (amounts already designated for road projects cannot be touched, this question concerned money not yet designated from the general annual assessments.) The Board felt that the road project should not be delayed any.

There was also a discussion on how to implement the new parking rules and how the Board should handle any requests for waivers. First, any complaints regarding parking must be made to the Board in writing, as per the new CC&R rules. The Board’s suggestion would be for everyone to read the rules and follow them. The Board did work out an outline for handling any possible applications for waiver. The waiver system was devised so no resident would be punished for parking violations that were beyond their control. An example of this would be owning more cars than garage space. In no case will trailers, travel homes, commercial vehicles and other such vehicles be eligible for waiver. Other reasons for a waiver may be available. If you have a question, please contact a Board Member. After the waiver has been approved or disapproved, violations may result in fines not exceeding $200 per month.

It should be noted that the new rules passed in the General Membership Meeting in January will not be enforced until they have been recorded with the Dona Ana County Clerk’s office. It takes a little time to write the new rules into the CC&Rs but everyone will be notified when they are recorded. They will also appear on the CR web page.

Dave Wright, Gates Chair, reported that, although Allied had installed the electronic parts that had been ordered, the Anthem exit gate was still not working. Allied will be back tomorrow to try to fix it. (At the date of writing these minutes, the exit gate appears to be functioning properly.) Dave also mentioned that the SOS system was working properly; however, the backup batteries at Barcelona were not working properly. They will be looked at tomorrow. Torres Welding plans to replace the gate bolts with a higher quality, heavy duty bolt sometime this week. The better bolts will decrease wear on the entire gate mechanisms.

William Webber, Design Control Chair, mentioned that another application had been tended for solar panel installation. The plans are being looked at but he sees no problems yet.

Dave Zeemont reported on water pressure problems experienced in a few locations in CR. Apparently, the pressure has been increased in the booster station (good news for those higher up the hill) but that increase has pushed pressures to around 100 in some instances in lower properties. Dona Ana Mutual stated they have no intention of providing pressure relief valves because they say the homes in CR were built to withstand far higher pressures. If you are experiencing high water pressure, you can either install a pressure relief valve, or contact Dona Ana Mutual and try to talk with them.

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held on Monday, March 10, 2014 at 1236 Regency Court.
