SCOTTSDALE COLONY
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION MEETING
September 28, 2009
The board meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM. Board members attending: Suzanne Muusers, Lance Donatello, and Brian Weimer. Also attending: Steve Cheff of Heywood Realty and Bruce Adams.
Bruce had some concerns regarding the landscaping in his area. Steve explained that there was an issue with power surges burning up the sprinkler control box that regulates the irrigation in that area. All plants that died will be replaced and those that are struggling will be monitored. There was a surge protection device installed at the irrigation control box to protect it from getting burned out. Bruce also raised the question about getting some touch up paint. The board wants all owners to know that they can get touch up paint at the next meeting if they will bring their own containers for it. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 6 PM at the clubhouse.
Time was turned over to Kevin of Performance Solar. He gave the board a presentation regarding solar heating of the pool. He spoke of the benefits of solar heating and how 70% of the overall cost can be recouped through incentives from SRP and state tax credits. The board will review installation of solar heating at the board of directors meeting on October 28th.
The minutes from the last board meeting were approved as presented.
The financial statement for August was reviewed. Steve to check into the payment to Heywood for December management fee.
Old Business:
As the meeting was running late due to the solar heating presentation, many of the agenda items were tabled to be discussed at the next HOA meeting. Suzanne continues to work on an Architectural Standards program for the HOA. Steve will have more asphalt bids for the next meeting.
New Business:
The board decided to postpone the Neighborhood Watch meeting in October due to lack of participation from the members of the community. As per the City of Scottsdale, the board is not allowed to run the program for the HOA so others need to take charge of getting the program up and running for Scottsdale Colony.
The board discussed and voted on an HOA fee increase to begin January 2010. New fee will be $138 per month. Notices to be sent to all owners by December 1.
Steve to have the tree company remove a couple of dead trees on the property. Any owners with dead trees on their property must have those removed on their own.
At the October board of directors meeting there will be discussion regarding the upcoming special assessment for the asphalt project.
