Minutes for the Lake Forest Community Association

Board Meeting

August 13, 2003

The Lake Forest Community Association Board of Directors met at Bev’s home at 7:30 pm on 13 August, 2003.

Meeting came to order at 7:35 pm. In attendance were all the Board members: Wes Cox, Tom Quigley, Bev Franklin, Evelyn Hempstead, Steve Gilbert, Harry Hopkins, Dave Wilson and Jim Evans. Dave had to leave early.

The minutes of July 10, 2003 were approved as submitted.

George Moerman, 9115 Fisherman’s Lane, is expanding his house with significant alterations. He is requesting a letter from the Board approving the alterations. Bev will take for action.

The Community Day will be moved to Sunday, 5 October in order to provide the County the required 45 days for approval to close the section of Maritime Lane between Cervantes and Octavia. Steve has action to obtain the approval of the affected residents.

Bev made a motion to have curb numbers painted for all homes in the community, at a cost not to exceed $15 per home. Steve believes he should be able to get the numbers painted for about $10 per home. This a budgeted expense, approved at the December ‘02 General meeting. Steve is taking this project for action.

Tom reported that the tree on the Bertito Lane community property has not been felled yet, to the best of his knowledge. Mr. Meeker, the contractor, has provided no bill for the work.

Wes has mailed an overdue letter to the 6 remaining delinquent dues payers. Wes suggested that the Board review the late fee structure to consider a scalable late fee. Currently, there is no incentive for a resident to promptly pay dues once the current late fee of only $5 has already been assessed. Wes will develop a new late fee structure to present at next month’s meeting. Wes plans to have an audit conducted this fall in time to present the results at the December General meeting.

Evelyn purchased locks for the new faucets at the entrances. She plans to give keys to the locks to the residents living nearest the faucets. She purchased hoses, and green paint to camouflage the risers.

Mark replaced one bush at Modisto Lane, as agreed under warranty. Evelyn is still negotiating with him to have him re-adhere about 19 stones on the top layer of the rock wall at Modisto.

Jim will send Bev a proposed letter for her signature to Mr. Mann of Modisto Lane. It appears as though he is dumping brush in the park behind his home that is an eyesore to those walking on the pathway. This is a suspected repeat offense.

Meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm. Next meeting will be at Bev’s on Thursday, 11 Sept.
