The street cleaning bids submitted for review ranged from $100 to $150 per bi-monthly activity.

The special assessment ballot will be ready at the next meeting for the street repairs.
In order to get final estimates for the installation on a new street light in the common area between #56 and #57, SRP will be contacted to do a final design so bids to place the conduit and foundation can be completed. Joe Latkowski will contact SRP.
The R&R booklet review has been completed and the printing will be done on orange paper to eliminate any confusion with prior versions.

Any additional changes would require a new rule that would require a vote by the HOA members. Any problems identified will be reported to Cornerstone for a friendly reminder letter.
The Board was asked to obtain bids on the materials required to paint the walls of all the common areas. The expectations are the labor would be provided by the HOA members to reduce cost as well as be a neighbor-building event.
