UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Landscape Chairman Bob Albertson back in May had brought up about removal of Association Tree behind residence 5809 Doris Ct. This tree is again causing damage to the sidewalk at the corner of Connie Blvd and Edna Way and damage to the homeowner’s patio. Estimate for removal of the tree and its roots by our landscape contractor is One Thousand Seven Hundred ($1,700.00) dollars. Accordingly, there was a motion by President Alan Schnelwar second by Director Barry Schwartz that we contract for the removal of the above discussed tree. By voice vote, all Board Members voted in favor and the motion was unanimously adopted.
Under landscaping Director Barbara Quinto inquired that based on the lawn cutting schedule that April thu September our lawns should be cut 3 times per month. Barbara reported our lawns have been cut only two times per month. If we are paying for 3 times per month, our landscaper should be here every 10 days. The Landscape chairman will have a conversation with Norgen concerning this issue.

NEW BUSINESS: President Schnelwar reported that so far, our finances are doing well. Very shortly Breezeline Communications will be submitting a proposal involving wi-fi for the entire community. If the Board is possibly able to maintain our current maintenance, our president reported that we may be able President Schnelwar is looking for a feeling from the board as to the Board providing WI-FI to all the community residents. Some residents might still be using other companies other than Breezeline. Upgrades include the elimination of TVIO boxes and the use of cloud storage and possible extension of our current contract. President Schnelwar stated he will have more details at next months meeting.
