SILVERTREE
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

Minutes from Meeting of March 14, 2007


The Meeting was called to Order at 6:30 PM.  

In attendance were:  Yvonne Hogan, David Lex, Lynne Hecker, Tom Anglin, Amcor Community Manager, and the homeowners from Lot #79. 

The meeting began with the owners of Lot #79 advising the Board that the home in Silvertree 
has been a rental since they purchased it.   In June 2006 a trailer was parked at Lot #79 in violation of the CC&R’s.  A letter was sent on behalf of the HOA, but returned to the Post Office as undeliverable, as it was addressed to the owners but mailed to the address of Lot #79.  A second letter was sent out on 7/17/06 to the owners’ address in Scottsdale and signed for on 7/20/06.  The trailer was promptly moved.  The management company, AMCOR, was retained starting April 2006.  At that time, the AMCOR representative was switched. We switched from Kathleen to Penny and one week later we switched again. During all this, the paper work was 'lost' by AMCOR and the issue was never addressed.  On 8/2/06 the HOA billed the owners for Enforcement in the amount of $230.59.   The owners of Lot #79 asked the Board to review the circumstances surrounding the assessment of these charges.  The Board agreed to discuss this issue during the Executive Committee Meeting and to advise the owners accordingly.

Minutes from the February meeting were reviewed and corrections noted (see revised minutes attached).

The financial statements were reviewed.  A motion was made and approved to accept the financial statements, as presented  

Checks to be approved were as follows:

#1083 - $5.55 to U.S. Post Office
#1084 - $683.97 to Amcor
#1085 - $72.00 to Arizona Public Service
#1086 - $1,285.00 to Lenco Landscaping
#1087 – $274.57 to City of Phoenix
#1088 - $13.26 to U.S Post Office
#1089 - $379.00 to Carpenter Hazlewood, PLC
#1090 - $23.00 to Brad & Sarah Carey

Motion made and passed to approve payment of checks.

Tom addressed all of the issues brought up by the Board at the previous meeting (see management report).   Also a new Management Plan was presented.  The Board asked that Tom amend the management plan as Lenco Landscaping will handle all aspects of the landscaping to include tree & palm trimming, spraying of oleanders and olive trees, and applying post emergents.



Old Business:

A building permit from the City of Phoenix was obtained for Lot #18’s patio extension.  A motion was made and approved by the Board to allow building to proceed.
New Business:

An estimate was obtained from Mark Reece, CPA at a cost of $1,500 to conduct an audit of the financial statements of Silvertree’s HOA.  A motion was made and approved to utilize Mr. Reece for the audit.

A Motion was made and approved to change the Board to a THREE (3) member board consisting of President, Secretary and Treasurer, with two attending members making a quorum.

The issue of possibly utilizing Amcor’s web site was tabled until the next Board meeting.

The accident at 40th Street and Tierra Buena was discussed.  A police report was filed and pictures of the damage were taken.  It is estimated that it will cost $1,200 to repair and/or replace the landscaping, with service to be provided by Lenco Landscaping.  Tom is obtaining a quote to repair the wall.  The driver of the vehicle was covered through State Farm, and the Board understands that State Farm will pay for the necessary repairs in full.

Yvonne brought up the issue of Dennis Clifford’s failure to pick up his dog’s poop while walking in the neighborhood.  Yvonne has spoken with Mr. Clifford and the Board will take a “wait and see” position before taking further action.


The meeting adjourned at 7:19 PM.
