Motion:

A motion to send a 1st warning letter to the owners advising that any reoccurrence of this type of behavior will result in fines was made by Tom Bell and seconded.

The motion passed unanimously. Igor Conev (Mann Properties) will send a letter to the owners advising the association rules and regulations and the fine process that is in place to help control abhorrent behavior.

Old Business:

None to report this month.

New Business:

Recycling containers are still an issue. Frank Dean asked Marci La Rue to continue following up on this issue.

The Rules Committee conducted an exterior walkthrough inspection of all units during the week of July 2nd. Marci LaRue presented the inspection list, prepared by the committee, for board review (copy appended to these minutes).
Frank Dean recommended that the committee have Charles Kinelski (CDS Maintenance Contractor) remove any trash items from common areas and throw them away. This will resolve issues of trash for Units 636 (McDonald), 642 (Greig), 654 (Mattus), 660 (Findley), 662 (Rao), 672 (Coschignano), 714 (Schatz), 716 (Foulkes), 722 (Johnson), 724 (Klaczak), 728 (Risbon), & 770B (Price).
Also the issue with the storage of construction materials under the decks was discussed and it was determined that this was a necessary evil for the immediate future to save money if these materials are needed when the “Front of Building Project” is underway. Frank Dean stated that we should make sure that the materials are stored in a uniform manor and out of the way as much as possible. The Rules Committee will review this item and have Charles Kinelski (CDS Maintenance Contractor) fix any storage issues.
The following actions relative to the violations list were taken by the board:

Unit 614 (Cantagallo): Leaking sliders.
Frank Dean advised that the contractor (Walt Smelter) has inspected the work and found nothing wrong with the installation. Frank Dean will personally inspect the property next week (July 16 – 20) to try and resolve this ongoing issue.
Unit 636 (McDonald): No Storm Door.
Motion:
A motion to send a warning letter to the owner giving 30 days to request that the board approve the installation of a new storm door was made by Tom Bell and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously. Igor Conev (Mann Properties) will issue the letter advising the owner of the specifications for Storm Doors and that they have 30 days to initiate the replacement action or a fine may be imposed.
Unit 672 (Coschignano): Tires stowed in the carport, Plate glass leaning against the house, Car used for storage parked in lot with no current registration.
Motion:
A motion to send a warning letter to the owner giving 30 days to resolve all items was made by Tom Bell and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously. Igor Conev (Mann Properties) will issue the letter advising the owner that they have 30 days to resolve all of the issues or a fine may be imposed.
Unit 728 (Risbon): Storm Door replacement & Front Door color.
Motion:
A motion to send a warning letter to the owner giving 30 days to request that the board approve the installation of a new storm door and to repaint the front door with the proper color was made by Tom Bell and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously. Igor Conev (Mann Properties) will issue the letter advising the owner of the specifications for Storm Doors & Front Door color and that they have 30 days to initiate the replacement action or a fine may be imposed.

The Board wishes to re-affirm that it is the responsibility of all unit owners to keep their areas clean and neat.
