The units that do not correct their deficiencies will be subject to fines and legal actions until such deficiencies are corrected.
B) The architectural standards procedure continues to be under construction.
C) The solar heating of the pool project has been re-instated as the board learned that the SRP program changes for 2010 will benefit our community the same if not more than the original reviewed program from 2009. Lance Donatello will send via e-mail the 2010 program documentation which the board members will review and discussed in one of the next two HOA meetings.

New Business:
A) Steve Cheff informed the board that numerous homeowners have called Heywood realty to inquire about where to obtain the ceramic tile numbers that identify each unit of the community. Steve Cheff informed that the same numbers type is no longer manufactured at this time and as a result some units have replaced their numbers with a number type different than that of the original. The board discussed the possibility of replacing the number of each unit of the community during 2011 in order to keep uniformity throughout.
B) The board discussed the possibility of seeding with winter grass at the end of 2010 the areas of the community that are not presently seeded during the winter. The last estimate the board received regarding the cost of seeding those areas was $4,800.00
