{tab=Treasurer's Report}
Treasurer’s Report: Bank balance is $14,849.96.  There have been 76 voluntary donations from residents since the first of the year totaling $2,990, an average of $39.34 per resident, which represents a 10% increase over this time last year. Architectural fees are $25.  Expenses to date amount to $370.28, most of which was spent on printing and mailing the newsletter.
Treasurer’s report unanimously accepted following a motion by Kelly McGuire and a second by Frank Chuba.
{tab=Arch Control}
Architectural Control: Chairman Frank Chuba introduced resident Brett Hull who presented plans to the Board for landscaping by utilizing Salome stone around his residence at 4730 Red Forest Road.  The plans were reviewed and unanimously approved following a motion to accept by Fred Lanyon and a second by Kelly McGuire.  The $25 fee has been paid.
{tab=Old Business}
Old Business: The Dyad drilling was discussed and Fred Lanyon said things are moving slowly at this time.  It is expected resident input will not come about until autumn of this year and the earliest drilling would be the spring of 2010.  Resident Brett Hull said drilling companies are not obligated to divulge chemicals used in drilling and there is great concern in the event of a leak and possible contamination of the water tables.  As drilling takes place, the chemicals are supposed to be contained in concrete casings, but there is always a chance of human error.
President Ketels said he would be responsible for running the chipper on 16 May 2009 at the Association Park.  Because of concerns for liability, residents who bring branches for disposal will not be allowed to run the machine and Mr. Ketels will receive instructions from Dan Elders who is donating the chipper for the day.
The residence at 1 Pixie Park still has shown no major improvement and President Ketels said the Association has done all it can do at this point.  Now, the next step is up to the neighbor who made the original complaint.
The work at the McLaughlin residence at the corner of Sandstone and Spruce seems to be complete with most of it being interior, but Brett Hull stated that there appears to be some external improvements such as a deck.  Chairman Frank Chuba will check to see if indeed exterior work was done.
President Ketels thanked the Board for stuffing and mailing the newsletters at the last meeting.
{tab=New Business}
New Business: Director David Weber turned the water on in the Park for irrigation purposes.
President Ketels suggested that members help with tasks around the tennis court, i.e., helping seed the area west of the court over the weekend of 15 May 2008 while manning the dumpsters.
Jim Bergeron suggested reimbursing Dan Elders for fuel costs for the chipper if residents did not contribute enough to cover the bill.  Members agreed to do so.
