COMMUNITY VISITORS

Lee Davis-reminded board that tonight�s meeting is the annual meeting.

Andre Zocchi-suggested a statement from the candidates in the future to help HO decide on board members. 

??- Perhaps boxes at the pool or other locations with forms for FoxTales and ACC change requests.  Neighborhood reps are being solicited to distribute information.

 

REPORTS

Treasurer: Proposed budget was presented and discussed.  Moved to table and discuss at a board committee meeting, set Monday, April 2 at Terry R�s house. Discussed possible compensation for HO who are supplying water to flower beds on Olive Ct. Anne has included a more detailed report of income and payouts.

 

Covenants: 115 surveys returned, good information from HO to help shape the ACC draft.  Many respondents in favor of $28.00 dues.  HO respondents had difficulty with the ranking question of board focus priorities. Electronic communication is working well.  Anita has created a �fast track� of information via email.  We will have a FoxRidge voicemail and email soon.

 

ACCORD: Lee presented board with Arapahoe County Sheriff booklet and information.  ACCORD will continue until 5/6/01 then its name and form will depend on the planning commission.  Dues will be prorated.  ACCORD body is expected to have as much political clout as a Centennial ward.  ACCORD is a good avenue for growth control.  Anita volunteered to assume the duties of ACCORD representative.

 

Covenant Compliance: Terry submitted report of ongoing violations.  Of grave concern at this time is the number of houses being painted without approval and the installation of a plastic white fence.  Bob B moved to support Terry�s sending of violation postcards and vigorous enforcement of covenants, motion carried unanimously.  Question arose regarding the appeals process and responsibilities.

 

D/O insurance: Has been purchased for $2100 for 3 years.  Terry will contact agent to meet with board to determine extent of coverage.

 

Landscaping/Maintenance: Time grows short for tree trimming and landscaping maintenance tasks.  Terry asks what has become of John Riggs?  Terry will contract for tree trimming and trash pickup along roads.

GID:  Funded through HO tax bill.  We can spend GID money on landscaping and improvements that affect the general public.  We have $52,000 limit, which can be carried over one year.  Terry asked about funding for trash cans and dog P-U stations.  Bob suggested FIA submit a budget proposal.  FIA plans to use GID funds for landscaping County Line and Niagara entrance and dead end of Locust Street at County Line.

 

OLD BUSINESS

FoxRidge entrance signs: Scott submitted a proposal from Bar D signs in Wyoming.  Cost is approximately $25,000.  Katie moved to table, motion carried.

Fences: questions about replacing and refurbishing area fences.
