APPROVAL OF MINUTES
• The minutes from the April meeting were approved as published.

HOMEOWNERS FORUM
• Joe reported that the stop sign at the West exit and the dog cleanup sign on the East side of the large common area were missing screws that were removed by unknown parties. The signs have been re-attached.
• Joe showed the attendees a picture of graffiti that was spayed on the speed bump in front of #21. Chris took the action to contact a source to remove and/or repaint.
• Joe reported that two of the new plants on the East entrance have died. Kathy will return them to Harper’s for replacement.
• Kathy reported that someone removed a dying plant from the South planter at the East entrance. She had planned to return it to Harper’s for replacement. Chris indicated that the crew from Pure Green had removed it. Pure Green will provide replacement at no cost.
• The homeowner at #24 asked Chris what can be done about the cats in the neighborhood. Chris took the action to provide the homeowner with information on what can be done and the limitations of the HOA to help with this problem.
• The homeowner at #19 was appreciative of the trimming mistakenly done by Pure Green of the scrubs/trees at the West entrance but was upset that his soaker hose was damaged. Chris took action to ask Pure Green about providing a replacement.
• Chris reported that the new owner of #17 will submit an ARC form for changes they plan to make to their front landscape.
• Kathy reported that #18 has a wood trellis along their wall that needs replacing. Chris will contact the owner to request the change.

FINANCIAL REPORT
• The financial reports provided by Chris were reviewed and approved.

OLD BUSINESS
• A recommendation was made to purchase an exterior bulletin board from Lowe’s ($136.19). The Board approved the motion. Joe took the action to order and install.
• The open items’ report was reviewed for current status. We are still waiting for a response from Pure Green on the trimming of our olive trees on 26th Street and Lindsay Road.
• The status of reprinting the summary CC&R documents is still open. Mike has found the file, and will send to Chris for initial comparison to the file of the 2008 changes. Chris will email the Board with his analysis.

NEW BUSINESS
• Bids for the wall painting were presented by Chris from two of the contractors. There is one more bid due. The received bids were very close in pricing. The Board was not sure at this time if it would proceed with doing all the walls at approximately $4000 expenditure. Chris was asked to invite the contractors to the next meeting so we could ask additional questions.
• There was discussion on the “use” of the bulletin board since it will be locked. A policy was proposed that only HOA members could use it. Any request to post private material must be routed to a Board member.

ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE
• There were no requests.

ADJOURNMENT
• Meeting was closed at 8: 22 p.m.

Next meeting is scheduled for June 15 at 7:00 p.m. Location TBD
