Nancy Woyciechowski, Modifications Committee Chairman, advised the Board that Robin Bowman has resigned from the Modifications Committee due to a new job. She asked the Board to appoint Tim Sherer to the Committee (has been alternate) and appoint Alan Roth as an alternate.

A motion was made, seconded and approved for these appointments.

Gary informed the group of the following new items regarding the proposed Town Hall: 1) An activity room of approximately 600 square feet has been added to the Town Hall as a result of input from comments from resident meetings and forms returned by residents. The cost for this addition is estimated at $100,000. It is anticipated that with other savings there will not be an increase in the previously stated assessments to owners. 2) In a meeting with Rex Jensen, SMR, Gary learned that if the CSO pays the District rent there is a chance the Districts could lose their tax-exempt status. SMR is drafting an agreement between the Associations and SMR that will protect the Associations at such time as they might decide to change management companies. 3) Finances – Gary explained the various methods of financing the Town Hall: 30-year bond, 20- year bond, 15-year bank loan, and 15-year bank loan with balloon. This will be on the agenda at the Public Workshop scheduled for the District, SMR and owner-supervisors on September 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the CSO.

Jerree was asked to find out if a one-time payment would be possible.

Gary reviewed the attached report from the Association attorney regarding rental restrictions. In summary, the attorney does not recommend that rentals be banned. He does feel comfortable with the Board amending the restrictions to allow each neighborhood to vote on increasing the minimum term from six months to one year. Current homeowners would not have to be grandfathered. Gary also reviewed the attached procedures for a neighborhood to get approval and take the vote. The vote will be secret ballot counting by CSO staff. It was suggested that the neighborhood committee be allowed to go door to door to collect the envelopes for their residents. The neighborhood committees were asked to review the amendment and be prepared to vote on the amendment at the next meeting.

A discussion followed on how rental escrow money can be used to correct landscaping violations. It was explained that first a fine must be placed on the owner.

It was announced that Gary Berns and Phyllis Troy are running for the District Board. Gary will be resigning from the Board and Phyllis will not run for election next year.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted

Date: Jerree Amodio, Director of Community Operations
