Board of Directors Meeting

10-21-2008

In attendance were board members Trent Gale, Frank Galloway, Tom Minor, Jim Byars, Jim Trimble and Glenn Terry.  There were 7 visitors present.

Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as amended.

Old Business:

A letter was sent to the homeowners involved with the excessive dog-barking.  There has been no response to date.

Those interested in mowing the dam will be asked to submit bids before the next budget is set.

There was a question and answer fact sheet presented to the board regarding the building of the fire station.  There were some questions asked and answered that were not on this fact sheet.  These will be posted on the bulletin board and on the web site for clarification.  A copy will be attached to the minutes as well.

New Business:

Security is still a concern for Eagle Landing residents.  The community is still experiencing break-ins and thefts.  The board is exploring the option of hiring off-duty police officers to do random patrolling.  The city of Avinger has been contacted and the Board is waiting for a response.  Other surrounding cities will be contacted as well.  The board will continue to investigate other legal solutions as well.

George Meriwether was appointed by the Board to replace Dr. Steven LeGrow.

Committee Reports:

Request to allow a variance from covenants for Gary Grogan to extend his dock by six feet to enhance water access.   Motion was made by Glenn Terry and seconded by Tom Minor to allow the variance.  Motion carried unanimously.

Architectural guideline clarification:  The committee may approve requests that are routine and standard.  All variations from the covenants should come before the full board for approval.

Common Area:

There will be a bill for $485 coming for the removal of some storm downed trees from the common area – approval to pay the bill.

The weevils have been so successful that the budget next year will be concentrated on adding more weevils instead of chemical usage.

Neighborhood Watch / Firewise:

Beware of a 2000 Ford Windstar – maroon van – Texas license number 606-LZN - in the area.  Also a red Ford Taurus – these vehicles are believed to be involved in suspicious activities.  Please report to the police if these vehicles are spotted in the area.

Watch for alerts posted on the bulletin board and on the web site.

The bridge construction is expected to resume shortly.
