C.                 2008-2009 Dues.  A discussion took place to increase the AGHA dues for the next year by 5.9%, which would raise the dues to $340 per annum.  This increase will cover the increase in water rates and maintenance of the common areas for the next year.  The rate increase would amount to $.052 a day or $1.58 a month.  Money was taken from our reserve account during the 2007-2008 budget year to meet our obligations.  The Board agreed that it was important to keep the increase to a minimum for this year. The Board is hopeful our xeriscape projects and decreased water usage will help keep costs down proportionately.  A motion was made by Royal Shields and seconded by Norm Arlt to increase the dues by 5.9% for the 2008-2009 budget year. The motion passed unanimously. A notice will be placed in the next Gazette and a notice sent to all homeowners regarding the increase in dues.
