Kevin Gervase was asked where the front landscaping project was. He mentioned that he had not heard from the landscaper but expected to hear any day. The board decided that it needed to wait until a proposal was received from the landscaper before a decision could be made as to how to proceed with the front area. It was also noted that there was a hole in the front fence. Brian Starr volunteered to contact a handyman to possibly repair the hole in the fence.

The duties of the architectural committee were discussed and defined. It was decided that this committee would police the community for violations of the declaration. It was decided that this committee would field all requests for changes and improvements to members’ properties, investigate those requests and make their recommendations to the board of directors. It was decided that this committee would also monitor the condition of the common areas and report their findings to the board.

The issue of members allowing their pets to defecate in the retention pond was discussed. It was noted that if the owners did not immediately pick up the defecation, it could become a public health issue. Also at issue are unleashed pets. It was noted that the board needed to take a proactive position with these two issues. Ty Baden reminded everyone that the board was only responsible for these issues when it came to the common areas. He noted that as far as individual members’ properties were concerned, the property owners were responsible for unleashed pets and pet defecation. Brian Starr made a motion to purchase 2 animal waste/leash/fine signs and post them in the community. Ty Baden seconded the motion. All board members voted yes and the motion was passed.
