New and Short Term Business:

  • Scott Chase informed the board of the instances in increased crime in the West Campus neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch signs have been posted by the city. There are homeless on the greenbelt and evidence of car break-ins. He shared a flyer that he put together that would inform the neighborhood and educate them about calling 911 about ANY suspicious sitings/instances. Randy offered to get enough flyers copied for all of the Campus Woods divisions. The board agreed to help distribute the flyers to West Campus and Scott and Pat will contact members of the other HOAs involved to see if they can also distribute flyers in their neighborhoods.

  • The bid from American Family Insurance was $1,071.00. The second bid was received from AAA (third party vendor): $2,415.69. The Board unanimously agreed to go with the American Family bid. Jackie said that she would contact American family to activate the insurance.

  • Randy contacted Theresa at Sound Legal Partners (recommended by Eydie Leighty) to have a lawyer review West Campus CC&Rs, By-Laws, etc. to confirm that annual dues are expected to be required (that it has been misunderstood as optional). We should receive a response from them in the next week. Update: Sound Legal Partners interpreted our documents that the annual dues were optional. There was discussion about getting a second opinion. It is unclear how the board can enforce any CC&Rs when dues are optional.

  • Jackie will call Eydie Leighty and inform her of the board's progress.

Ongoing Business

Safe City — report suspicious activity to the Safe City web site.

Vinyl fence — Carl was not present. No progress by Carl in checking with a lawyer on the wording for an amendment to CC&R 3.7 so that a vinyl fence can be installed on the greenbelt. The amendment will specifically ask if a vinyl fence is acceptable. Carl has agreed to pay the costs associated with the lawyer, printing the letters, two envelopes per lot, and stamps for the mailing and return envelopes. Carl has not attended an HOA meeting for several months; no progress.
