Guest Comments
Joyce Cameron requested that owners be given a onetime exception
to decorate their homes for the holidays early this year due to the
COVID-19 pandemic that is affecting all of us in the world. Holiday
decorations trigger good memories and stimulate
happiness!
Resignation
Tony Higley resigned from the board on November 14th. Jim has
talked to 2 members to see if they are interested.
Approval of Minutes
Motion made to approve minutes, as corrected, of the October 19,
2020 regular board meeting. Seconded and passed.
At the October meeting board meeting a motion was passed stating
“that before new Rules & Regulations are distributed to the
membership that we would have an attorney review the legality of
the document but not write it.” Carol Neupert had made that request
and has now requested to have the word resolution removed. Because
a motion has been passed in a previous meeting the previous motion
must be either amended or rescinded. Bud moved that the motion be
rescinded. This motion was seconded and passed unanimously. He then
moved that before any Rules and Regulations changes are approved by
the board, that they will be reviewed by a lawyer and distributed
to the community for comments before being adopted. This motion was
seconded and passed unanimously.
Financial Report
Linda McDermott reported that our operating account balance was
$10,466.49 and that our Reserve balance was $143,502.86 Motion made
to accept the treasurer’s report was seconded and passed.
NorthStar Reserves is optimistic that they will be able to have
our reserve study update complete by the end of the year.
ARC
There was only one request since the last meeting. It was
accepted by the ARC committee.
Landscaping
Haase will try to complete fall cleanup within the next two
weeks. They will repair any damage that they caused by snow plowing
in the spring.
Sprinkler blowout has been completed in one day.
Pool & Pond
Both are closed. Jim, Steve Watterson, and Larry Ferrante met
with Pool Service Company. Pool Service Company felt that it is our
responsibility to tell them when to close the pool. We do need a
new filter starting next year.
4 Degree Inspections
4 Degrees postponed last Friday’s inspections until today
because of weather conditions. It was completed today. Jim will
talk to owners about the violations noted.
Community Center
Jim has moved our records into a file cabinet in the
basement.
Peggy requested that we have our workout equipment serviced. Jim
is following up on this request.
Jim will get a bid to replace the vertical blinds. New weather
stripping was replaced on the south door. Other preparation for
fall has been completed.
In the future, we will review our monthly task list.
Legal Zoom Meeting
Jim, Bud, Sue, and Peggy attended the meeting. At the meeting it
was pointed out that if someone complains of a violation that the
person making the complaint is identified as having made the
complaint.
New Business
Bud moved that the Rules and Regulation regarding when holiday
lights be changed this year only allowing holiday lights to be put
up 10 days before Thanksgiving. The motion was seconded and passed.
The vote was four to two.
Peggy suggested that we consider joining Washington State CAI.
Cost is $125 for one person or $230 for two. Sue will investigate
this and find out if 4 Degrees is able to provide the same
information.
