CALL TO ORDER
Meeting was called to order at 6:48 p.m.
In attendance: Joe Merlo (5), Steve Easthope (60), Kathy Adamson (34), and Chris Lynch (Right Way Community Management).

APPROVAL OF PRIOR MEETING MINUTES
The April 19 minutes were reviewed and approved as published.

HOMEOWNER DISCUSSION
Kathy is to get four Lantana plants to replace the dead ones in the flower boxes on Lindsay.

It was noted that the tire marks were cleaned off of the walls on 26th street.

Chris was going to talk to Frazee about potentially getting color palettes online that could be posted on the association's blog. We also discussed putting basic association information (blog, contact information for board and ARC members) in the mailbox bulletin board.

Kathy mentioned some concern on the quality of the screens on some of the homes in the neighborhood. Chris said he would look at them in his next inspection and send letters as he felt necessary.

FINANCIAL REPORT
The financial reports were reviewed and approved as published. It was noted that the tree trimming invoice was paid.

ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE REPORT

An ARC request is needed for House #23, for the stone work done on the front yard, as well as other items.

A letter was sent to #33 about the gate, requesting dimensions on an ARC form.

An ARC request for #31's gravel had been received.

Chris read the rules for the ARC committee - the CC&Rs clearly outline that the ARC committee is made up of 3 members with 2 alternates. It also outlines that the board is the entity that appoints and removes members from the ARC. This would make Scott Thompson an alternate ARC member - he volunteered in the last meeting to be a member of the ARC.

OLD BUSINESS

The Board reviewed proposals for rock for 26th street and for Lindsay Road. It was decided to hold off on rock proposals until we deal with getting some plants along in those areas. Joe Merlo was going to look at the number of plants that needed to be replaced, and Kathy Adamson was going to look at the pricing.

Rock proposals were received from All Rock Supply, Pure Green, and Granite Express.

NEW BUSINESS

• Chris reviewed new law changes that went into effect in the state of Arizona - referring to an email he sent earlier to the board.
.
• In a prior meeting, the board proposed that Chris reduce the amount of paper distributed at the meetings. The Board members agreed this meeting that it would be nice to have the summary of the Financials including the Balance Sheet and Profit/Loss statement, however.

ADJOURNMENT
Meeting was closed at 7:50 p.m.

The next meeting is scheduled for June 21, 2011 at 6:45 p.m. with the location TBD.
