VII.          BOARD REPORTS

A.                President-Randy Simpson reported that he had been in contact with the person responsible for the City of Aurora Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Program.  The City has grant money available for sidewalk projects that could include adding a sidewalk along the Parker Rd. /Andover Glen right-of-way.  Concerns were raised about the AGHA responsibility for snow removal and insurance should a sidewalk be added.  More information will be available at a latter date.

B.                 Vice-President-No report.

C.                 Secretary-Anne Stellmon received an Architectural Request Change from the Randell family for a security door. 

D.                Treasurer-Adam Tucci handed out copies of his monthly report, correcting that we have a CD maturing on 11/03/06 rather than 11/30/06.  Adam proposed that we begin “laddering” our CD investments/reinvestments for longer terms as they mature.  A motion was made by Randy Simpson to reinvest $12,000 in a 6 month CD and use the other $3,000 for future bills.   The motion was seconded by Anne Stellmon and unanimously approved.  Our Policies and Procedures reflect the SB100 requirement to have a review every 2 years.  The new SB100 requirement is only for HOA’s that have an annual budget of $250,000 or higher to have a review every 2 years.  This will be an item for the SB 100 committee to review.  The cost of an informal review by an external company or person would not be excessive.  There was general agreement that we continue with a review rather than an audit every 2 years.

E.                 ACC-Royal Shields presented an Arch. Change Request from Quink Arlt to add a white cupola with a copper whale (weather vane) to their roof.  Cindy Wagner made a motion to approve the request.  It was seconded by Randy Simpson and unanimously passed.  Royal will ask the Randells for pictures or a plan for their security door.

F.                  Grounds- Norm Arlt provided the Board with a written report.  Norm is attempting to find out who cut down willow trees on our property.

G.                Neighborhood Watch-Bob Meyer reported that over $1000 in prizes were awarded to the recipients of the SPIFF Awards at the Annual Homeowner’s Meeting in September. Bob would like for the advertising money generated by the SPIFF program be put back into his budget.  There has been no police/crime activity in our neighborhood recently.  The Block Captain Program will not be used at this time but could be reinstated at a later date.  Bob will use flyers as a communication tool for emergency notification of homeowners.

H.                Social- Deb Jones reported that Dumpster Day was again a success.  Six families used the shredding and it was suggested that we offer shredding once a year.  She reported that a committee is being formed for the Holiday Party on Dec. 9^th at the Hanson/Zabinski home.  She assured the Board that less than $363 would be spent for the party and will let us know when they will meet for planning purposes.  Deb would like to ask a realtor to sponsor our Easter Egg hunt next spring.  

I.                   Welcoming-Cindy Wagner reported that two homes were for sale in the neighborhood; one has been for sale since last summer.

VIII.       ADJOURNMENT-The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
