OPEN FORUM
There were no homeowners in attendance who wished to address the Board.
MINUTES
Motion was made by Billy Lee and seconded by David Matarese to approve the November 27, 2012 Board Meeting Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.
FINANCIALS
The December Treasurer’s Report is attached.
The November and preliminary December 2012 financials were reviewed. The Board decided to hold approval of the financials until they are finalized. Financials will be preliminary until all outstanding invoices for 2012 are received and processed, and the audit is completed.
Charles Schnitzlein stated the board feels an annual audit is prudent regardless of the statutory requirements. The association also conducts a Reserve Study about every five years (completed in 2011) to ensure Reserve funding is at proper levels. Prior boards over-funded the Reserves which is part of the reason the association has been able to reduce assessments the last few years.
COLLECTIONS
The Collections Status Report as prepared by Attorney Patrick Willis’ office was reviewed.
Board Action Requests – Collections:
- The Board approved proceeding with HOA lien foreclosure against 2727 Willow Creek Drive.

PROPOSAL REVIEW
- Change from reclaimed water back to well
- The Board decided to table this project until they have information in writing from the City allowing the change to be made.
- Remove portion of wooden boardwalk (from beginning of structure to bench)
- Motion was made by Billy Lee and seconded by David Matarese to approve Roger’s Renovations’ proposal in the amount of $845.00. Roger will also reuse some of the decking to board up the opening so people cannot readily access the rest of the boardwalk. Motion carried unanimously.
