As always, if something is of a life threatening nature please call 911 to ensure
you receive prompt attention.

Laurel Lakes Easement Committee

• Progress on metering the lake fountain has been slow due to low number of bids
received. Cost of those have been prohibitively high. In the meantime we will be
computing how much we owe based on power ratings for the fountain and street
light.

• Median improvements of a non-landscaping nature would cost approximately
$4,000 and bids are being solicited to clean up the mulch and
plantings.. Also, there has been discussion to add two more street lights on the
Laurel Lakes Blvd.

Budget Committee

• Two meetings were held on September 25 and October 7 to discuss proposed bud
get numbers for 2009.
• After working through the various big tickets increases, looking at reductions and
cost cutting are possible there was consensus that a modest increase in
assessments for 2009 was needed.
• Suggested increases were in the range of $30 to $50 per quarter which translates
to no more than an 8% increase over the current 2008 budger numbers.
• Final budget numbers will be presented at the Annual Budget Meeting.
• We are entering the 6th year of existence (building wise) and have seen several
big repairs over the past several months. This will continue and the possible
increase will allow the Association to take a more proactive stance to
maintaining the community.

Management Report

• Reviewing schedule of maintenance work so that activity can be better managed.


• Fountain light and timers fixed.

units and asked the Association to look into what options we may have.

vacancies and whether we can require locks to be changed annually without
violating owner rights.
• Tim Gibbons was concerned about the use of visitor parking passes on a
permanent basis and some residents having more than two vehicles. Much debate
between various owners and members of the Board regarding how restriction on
vehicles should be enforced. Tim asked whether residents could lease spaces that
are not currently assigned.
• Debbie Graves asked about possibly charging owners/tenants more during the
application process so they have more to lose if they do not comply with
rules/regulations.
