The meeting was called to order in the gazebo at 6:45 pm by Rita Pierson.

Marcus moved to approve the minutes as presented. Ed seconded. Minutes were adopted by unanimous vote.

Stan Scheiber presented the financial report. There were three delinquencies and the owners have been notified.

We have received a reimbursement from the insurance company for approximately $2200 relating to a settlement from the March 25 hailstorm. The money was deposited in the operating account to help offset the costs of painting and repairs.

A quarterly termite inspection was performed in September and no termites were found.

Stan stated that the 2006 budget will be presented at the November meeting.

John Yount stated that his crew is working their way around the project. They are up to unit #90 on repairs and have painted the siding and trim on units 1-54. He needs a decision from the board on the door color so he can proceed on schedule.

The board looked at several sample doors that had been painted by the contractor. The board then approved the red-colored doors after discussion.

One resident inquired about the recent increase in utility bills. It appears the average bill has increased from about $12 to $19.

Stan explained that an increase in wastewater fees that the association experienced last year is now being allocated to residents on the individual utility bills. The association has been paying the additional amount but the cost has not been passed along to residents due to previous problems experienced with the billing allocation by the company that collects the residential bills. The problem has been corrected and is resulting in higher residential bills.

Stan explained that there was also an increase in the surcharge that had not been allocated previously that is now being allocated.

The new allocation should result in less cost being borne by the association and more costs being paid by individual owners.

One owner said that her billed amount had increased for August but decreased for September. Stan said that he would look into the issue further.

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 14, 2005 at 6:45pm in the gazebo.

Marcus motioned to adjourn the meeting and Marcus seconded. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
