He noted that the dues were increased this year due to expected added expenses, as work on
the drain and common area.

Environmental Committee: Jim Graham

Jim said Jason Dumont of Mosaic has taken over the annual maintenance of the common area
green space. The summer work will be done on August 1 or 2. This is primarily cutting and
treating invasive plants. Spraying for ground ivy will be done in the fall.
Jim asked Jason if we should take off the tree guards on the trees previously planted in the
common area. He said to leave them on until the trees can go by themselves.
There were a few vacant houses where the yards were mowed, but there are none now.
Storm Drainage: WES (County Water Environment Services) came to inspect the drain in the
common area between Derek Court and Kela Court, at Jims request. The question was if the
bell housing on the drain pipe allowing for overflow from the pipe was original or added later.
WES said the bell housing was put in with initial construction. This allows run off during heavy
rain. Normally there is no over flow unless there is a blockage. The blockage is probably due to
roots in the drain. It was suggested to use root cutters to clear any roots, then check with a
camera to make sure its clear. River Cities price is about $2400. It was agreed that Jim will
schedule the work. This is within the budgeted amount.
Covenant Compliance: Dan Otis
Dan talked to the homeowner about the wood pile in front of a house on 93rd Court. The
homeowner said he would take care of it.
He discussed a house on Stevens Way that had a complaint about the yard. He said it is
vacant and the yard appears to be ok now.

neighbors house at 10686. John will talk with the neighbor about the issue.

the property with the limbs and contact an outside vendor to grind the concrete. Pamela said
she would check on the trip hazard on all the concrete paths. Carl made a motion to grind the
concrete paths that were uneven and were a tripping hazard at a cost up to $500. John
Chapman seconded and all Board members present approved.
