Jack B. talked to the homeowner who covered the masonry wall graffiti but color doesn't match. The homeowner is planning to repaint this.
Jim L. waiting to get water turned on to get bids for water that sprays at the sign and get a water drip system instead.
The owner who as the pathway on W. Bruneau Ave that dead ends wants to take up the sidewalk and reclaim that land. City has right of way. Side walk was supposed to continue through to the other road and the contractor mistakenly didn't do this. This shouldn't be a problem.

Jack Briggs reported that Tim Bush may not develop the proposed strip of land on Steptoe and Center Parkway because of the requirements (masonry wall and extra ground work) our HOA demanded and were mandated by the city/court. These requirements have increased the price of development possibly making the project too costly. The Bush family plans to build one car wash per year. The car wash at Keene and Kennedy (near Queensgate) was projected for 2018. So they may possibly look at the Steptoe location in 2019. Bush mentioned that an eye doctor had inquired about the lot looking to build a two story, 20,000 square foot office and surgery center but nothing had transpired. Bush said “as for now, it’s a car wash and coffee shop”.

Resident Irene Hall asked about cats and dogs. What does the HOA do to control animals. The residents are to follow the city laws regarding pets. Her problem is cats in her yard and they want to plant a garden. Unfortunately, the HOA has no control. Complaints go to the City. She lives at Clearwater. She asked if something could be put in the HOA notices. HOA will put a reminder in the next mailing. HOA has no bylaw regarding cats except no breeding.
Bill Redmond proposed a reward for board members like a night out or a gift. Board members cannot accept payments.
There are assisted living homes that are governed by the state and are allowed. Mr. and Mrs. Hall were concerned about others running business's out of their homes. Jack B. read the CC and R Covenants Conditions and Restrictions. Chapter 6.12 regarding business's. Resident are encouraged to report any nuisances to the board.
Christine Smith requested if meetings could be held on the weekends. The board heard Ms. Smith's request and will continue to hold meetings on week nights to accommodate the majority of people who do not want to attend meetings on weekends.
It was agreed to schedule the next meeting in September, 2018.
Jack B. motioned to close the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 6:42 p.m.
