The meeting was called to order at 7:04 at the home of Mary Hill, 142 S Forestview St.

It was moved and seconded to approve the minutes of the September meeting.  Motion carried.

New Business:

Mike Ball was elected President;  Mary Hill was elected Secretary and  Brad Sweet was elected Treasurer.

It was moved and seconded that an Electronic copy and the original signed copy of the new Covenants will be permanently filed at HOA Management Services.  A copy will be provided to be Brad for publishing on the Website.  Each board member has already been provided an electronic copy.  Motion carried.

It was moved and seconded that we collect an initiation fee of $100 from new homeowners; the funds to be placed in the Reserve A and B maintenance fund.  Motion carried.  This action is authorized by the new covenants.

A lengthly discussion of the ongoing improvement project at 158 S. Forestview Ct. was conducted.  We called the homeowner (who was out of town) and asked questions.  It was concluded that the Board needs to meet with the homeowner, and the date of Monday October 29 at 5:00 p.m. was confirmed.  The project has a stop work order because the concrete contractor did not pull a city permit.  

It was moved and seconded that the non-compliant issue with 106 S. Forestview Ct. will be allowed to continue because of previous documented approvals from the board.  Motion carried.  Ashley will contact the attorney for direction on filing this non-compliant approval with the Register of Deeds office. 

There was a lengthy discussion on how to deal with the problem of non-compliance issues; some have been a problem for a long time, others are a problem because of the newly approved Protective Covenants.  Should the Board start sending non-compliance letters immediately, or should we act more slowly by working with the worst offenders first?  There will be further discussion at the next meeting.  Ashley was directed to prepare a newsletter reminding homeowners that with passage of the new Protective Covenants, they could be in violation e.g. cars and trailers permanently stored on the property, trash cans stored in front of garage doors, etc. 

The next meeting will be November 18 at 7p.m. at the home of Mary Hill, 142 S Forestview St.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

Page 2: 2nd para.Correction:  David Pashman described a flooding problem behind 102 N. Rainbow Lakes Terrace, and 103 N Rainbow Lakes Rd., which could ultimately create a problem in his backyard (106 N. Rainbow Lake Terrace).  There is Wichita City Storm Sewer Drain in the back yard at 103 N. Rainbow Lakes Rd which drains to the  Reserve A lake.  When Reserve A is full, the drain becomes covered with lake standing water, which then backs up into their backyards. The home at 102 N. Rainbow Lakes Terrace suffered water damage due to the heavy rainfall.
Mary will contact the City regarding cleaning the storm sewer drain for better outflow.

Ashley Derret, HOA Management Company

Officer’s Reports:

President Mike reported on a meeting with Jeff Schauf, and other board members (Agnes Johnson and Al Cavallero, Mary Hill joined by phone), on community property behind Jeff’s home on Saturday July 13, 2019.  It was agreed by all the parties that we should proceed with the bid from J & J Custom Landscaping to regrade the community property adjacent to Jeffs’ home to provide positive drainage to the Reserve A Lake.  Jeff has the most risk associated with the project and the HOA cost would be less than $2000.

Following the 7/13/19 meeting, Jeff decided to go with another contractor because of additional work he required, but the cost to the HOA would remain the same.  We are awaiting the proposal from the new contractor before proceeding.

It was moved that the Minutes of the June meeting be approved as corrected.  Motion carried.  Mary had no other report.  A copy of the financial statement was provided to those in attendance.

Zone Rep Reports:

Agnes Johnson reported that James was willing to cut down the trees at the entryway, however help would be required with the cleanup, stacking of wood etc.  It was the consensus of the group that we will obtain bids for this work.  It is unfair to ask a homeowner to do this work for all free, and James does a lot for the HOA already’ Ashley will contact some contractors to bid for the work and report back; Ken Hughes will contact the tree trimmer who did his work, and he will mark the appropriate trees to be removed at the entryway with white paint, which Mary provided.

Jeff Hoetmer reported that he received a call that the aerators were not working in the Reserve A lake.  The noise suppression problem with the equipment behind Willie Coles’ home has not been resolved.  Mary will talk to Dave Dauffenbach about this problem, perhaps the motor needs to be replaced/rebuilt.  It has been rebuilt at least twice already.

(Spoke to Dave Dauffenbach 7/17/2019 and he is picking up the motor 7/18/19 to send back to the manufacturer who will recommend a fix.  It may have been a lightning strike that made the system fail, burn up.)

Old Business:

Mike Ball reported on some clarifications he proposed for the covenants and why.  After much discussion it was moved and seconded that we proceed with passing the covenants to the Attorney for review.  Motion carried.  We requested that Ashley forward the covenants to the attorney for review, and emphasize the urgent need to have them reviewed, in order to have them in the mail in accordance with the ByLaws.

We also discussed topics dealing with the annual meeting which is scheduled for 1 p.m. on September 21, 2019 at Station 21, at 2110 N. 135th St West. 

New Business:

The next meeting will be August 19th at 142 S Forestview at 7 p.m.

Post removal in Lake behind Richard Rose Property.
President Brad will contact Richard advising him we will wait until the water is much lower due to the potential liability if something goes wrong. These posts are not really hurting anything, but if cut off below water level and someone accidentally were hurt by the poles which they could not see, we could have a problem.
Treasurer’s Report:

Balance on Hand in savings account $27,002.62, June 19, 2017.
There are 6 delinquent accounts remaining, two of which are $300 each. One is in Zone 1, one in Zone 2, three in Zone 3, and one in zone 5.
A discussion of the services provided by Custom Lawn Service affirmed that they are doing the job they were hired to do, at the Maple street entryway, and it is in better condition as a result. They are treating the trees, and fertilizing and providing week control
There is a tree growing inside the scotch pine located just East of the East side monument which needs to be removed. Cleaning up the overgrown greenery inside the monuments, and later making other planting improvements inside the monuments, was also discussed.
Rusted out Mailbox
Mary Hill reported she had forwarded a picture of the rusted-out mailbox in Zone 1 to the Postmaster General, and as a result the box was replaced with a new postal receptacle.
She is now attempting to have some of the Westar electrical boxes that are also in bad condition, replaced.
Old Business:
The proposed contract from the HOA Management Company, previously provided to the board, was discussed.
Phil Iwinski moved and Keith Stutzman seconded that we sign a 12-month contract beginning July 1, 2017, with the HOA Management Company, motion carried.
Our insurance is due soon and it is hoped that by signing an agreement with the HOA Management Company we may be able to reduce our insurance expense. The management company would also be the point of contact for the homeowners for ALL COMPLAINTS.
It is anticipated that the HOA Management company then would do all the preparation for the annual meeting, send out notices, notice of dues, etc.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:00 p.m.
The next meeting will July 18th at 7:00 p.m. at the home of Mary Hill, 142 S. Forestview.
