VI. NEW BUSINESS
A. Budget Jan Guerra presented the proposed Budget 2006-2007. An item by item review was done by the Board. A discussion was held about increasing AGHA dues and how to balance the proposed budget. Because of increasing expenses it may be necessary in the future to raise dues rather than use reserve funds to balance the budget. Jan will write an article for the Gazette about the budget. A motion was made by Randy Simpson and seconded by Cindy Wagner to transfer $1500 from the reserve fund to balance the budget. The motion was passed with one “No” vote.
B. Neighborhood Vandalism There has been a significant increase in vandalism this spring. Bob Meyer called CDOT to remove their sign that was vandalized. Homeowners are reminded of the 11 pm curfew for children.
C. Code Enforcement The Board encourages homeowners to contact the City of Aurora regarding possible city code violations. Homeowners can make these calls without identifying themselves.
