Board Meeting called to order by Todd Loseke at 7:04 p.m.
Tom gave financial report: HOA dues continuing to come in. Latest deposit will give a bank balance of approximately $12,000. Expenditures since last meeting were (1) postage, envelopes, and copies associated with mailing dues notices and (2) mowing for commons areas. About $2,400 in dues are outstanding for the current year. A 2nd notice for dues will be sent in mid-October. There are several properties in arrears on their HOA dues (more than five years). If these properties do not come current this year, liens will be filed against the properties.
One dues check from this year was returned unpaid, which hasn't happened before. After a short discussion, the Board decided to pass the bank fee on to the HOA member, but not to assess any additional fee for the bounced check.
Todd brought to our attention possible sale or development on the outlet behind townhomes on 15th and Indigo. The 7th addition was recently replatted, presumably to allow road access to the property from 15th St. We will monitor the situation, especially zoning actions.
Todd reported that there were two covenant violations reported (recreational vehicles parked long-term) since our last meeting. After a letter was sent, the vehicles were removed.
Todd reported on trees falling, leaning, and with dead branches in the commons area behind Indigo Court. We had previously decided to wait until after winter to act on these trees, but with another tree down in the last month, Todd recommended we get an estimate on what cost would be involved. He set up a walk-through with Acme Tree Service for a time TBD in the next week or so.
Todd also received a project description and service proposal from JEO Consulting for the drainage problems in the North commons area. Total estimated costs for evaluation, design review, permitting, and construction services (not including actual construction), is $6,840. North Hills HOA has agreed to split 50/50 the costs associated with this project. Todd will also approach the NRD about their 50% matching program, and will approach the affected homeowners with the proposal for their buy-in. Todd proposed that we approve payment to JEO ($750) for developing the proposal, and payment was approved.
Meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
