2. President’s report Brad
• HOA taxes have been signed and submitted to the IRS. Mary Hill approved payment of the bill to the accountant for preparation of the tax return.
• An electrical outlet at the front entrance has been repaired.
• The aerator pump on the lake has been repaired.

• Ron Ferris (potential home buyer) has requested an exception to the two-dog limit in our covenants. The board approved his request in December with the understanding the two older dogs will not be replaced in the future.
3. Neighborhood concerns Agnes
Board members receive occasional complaints regarding dogs being allowed to leave waste on their neighbors’ lawns. The board wishes to remind HOA members to exercise common courtesy and pick up dog messes.
4. Treasurer’s report Mary
Mary has received the files from former treasurer Phil Iwinsky. She has also received one mailbox key.
5. Pet concerns Keith
The board continues to hear of concerns regarding the number and behavior of pets in the HOA. There have been several troubling incidents regarding the death of smaller pets and injuries to people. The city of Wichita has ordinances governing the number, care, and behavior of pets, and homeowners are urged to be in compliance.
6. HOA covenant revisions Kara
• The board reviewed and discussed the newest iteration of the covenant revisions and made a few more corrections and clarifications. At the February meeting the board will review the final draft of the revised covenants and schedule zone meetings for the purpose of informing residents about the updates and conducting a vote to approve. Each HOA member will receive in the mail a copy of the revised covenants, specific dates and times of the scheduled zone meetings, and a proxy vote form. Zone meetings will be held during February and March.
• She reported no new information regarding the financial statement, but stated that everything looks good.
• Property inspections continue; one new addition has been made to the list of items needing attention.
• The neighborhood directory is in process. It will include names and addresses of all HOA residents, as well as phone numbers and email addresses of all who responded to the request for information.
The next board meeting will take place Monday, Feb. 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the home of Mary Hill, 142 S. Forestview.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
