VI. BOARD REPORTS
A. President-Randy Simpson received an email from Jan Guerra inquiring about the Board’s decision to charge a $100 for transfer fees with the sale of homes in AGHA. Randy will answer her inquiry, explaining that this is not a fee for copying documents; it is a fee charged by many HOA’s for a status letter and transfer of title provided at closing by HOA’s.
B. Vice-President-Dave Estes arrived late and reported that he had just attended the Woodgate HOA meeting; they too are also concerned about the traffic being generated by the Goodwill store and have contacted the City of Aurora. Signage is being added to the east side of Dillon at Belleview restricting parking. The city will continue to monitor this situation and we are encouraged to voice our concerns. Prior to Dave’s arrival, Royal Shields made a motion that was seconded by Norm Arlt to contact and follow-up with neighboring HOA’s regarding the Goodwill store traffic and parking issue. The motion passed with Norm Arlt, Debra Jones, Royal Shields, Randy Simpson and Anne Stellmon voting for approval; Dick Moore opposing.
C. Secretary-No report.
D. Treasurer-Barb Powell was not present but submitted her report electronically. Anne Stellmon suggested that Barb report the details for the CD’s she reinvested in at the April meeting. Dick Moore made a motion that was seconded by Norm Arlt to approve the Treasurer’s report as presented. The motion passed unanimously.
E. ACC-Royal Shields presented a future request from Susan Duncan for approval. She would like to paint her house one shade different from its current color. The ACC approved the request in advance of official receipt of the document.
F. Grounds-Norm Arlt reported that the water rate structure for HOA’s in 2008 will increase about 12%. Depending on the weather this year and our overall usage, this increase could affect the AGHA operating budget and have an impact on future dues for AGHA. He and Randy Simpson will write an article for the Gazette advising the community of the water rate increase and the impact it will have on our community. They will mention the potential for an increase in the annual dues assessment.
G. Social-No report.
H. Neighborhood Watch-No report.
I. Welcoming-No report.
VII. ADJOURNMENT-Randy Simpson adjourned the meeting at 7:15 P.M. The regular Board meeting was followed immediately by a special meeting with the Covenant Review Committee.
