MINUTES FOR THE LAKE FOREST COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

BOARD MEETING

Apr 10, 2003

Meeting opened at 7:40 p.m.

Present: Bev Franklin, Steve Gilbert, Evelyn Hempstead, Jim Evans, Harry Hopkins, and Dave Wilson.

Old Business

The minutes of January ’03 were reviewed and approved. Minutes from the General Meeting during Dec. ’02, along with Board minutes from Feb. and Mar ’03 are missing due to the absence of the Secretary at these meetings. Steve will review his notes so minutes can be reconstructed for the Community web site.

Evelyn purchased 15 bags of mulch for each entrance. She also hired a new landscaper – Creative Landscaping and Design at no change in cost to the Association. Evelyn anticipates having a surplus of several hundred dollars in the grounds maintenance account, and is pursuing a rock wall for the Cervantes entrance. She is getting several estimates for this work.

Sprint has installed the cel phone tower at the Fire House. It appears as though it will not detract from the amenities of the community.

Treasurer’s Report

 Wes was absent tonight. No treasurer’s report was provided.

New Business

Community Yard sale is scheduled for Sat 17 May.  Jim Evans will have Sally Tomlin post notices on the entrance signs and will send an advisory by email to the Community. Harry will post a notice on the Community Web site. A rain date was not established.

The house at 7707 Cervantes was just sold with a standing shed. A letter will be sent to the buyers of this property indicating that the shed will be maintained in good condition, but if destroyed, an application must be filed with the Association to replace it. The letter indicated that the shed was built before the Association covenants were in force, and therefore the structure was grandfathered.

Steve will find several vendors to give us some estimates for painting house numbers on the curb. The work will include removing the old numbers that are now in very poor condition.

Orange Hunt Pool has requested to place an ad for new members in the Association newsletter, and to place a sign on community property. The Board voted to permit this at no fee, though any signs placed on community property will be removed by June ’03.

VEPCO is not maintaining their right of way at the end of Maritime Lane. Bev will investigate whom to contact regarding proper maintenance of their right of way.

Meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.

Next meeting will be at 7:30 pm Thursday, 8 May at Bev’s.
