5. The Association will pursue interest and legal fees on these open accounts and the offenders have lost their ability to participate in HOA functions and to vote in HOA matters, until these fees are resolved. The HOA will use George Nicolson as our attorney and Mr. Bonacum will front the attorney fees. At least one HO responded to the collection procedure and paid up. Open.
6. The Board further discussed the financial condition of the Association. It appears there will be a short fall in the actual income vs. actual expenses. The Phase I irrigation system pump was replaced and the estimate for repairing the front gates is $500. The Board has already approved borrowing the money for these repairs from the street paving fund until such time as new dues are collected to offset the repair costs. There was a discussion of the procedure for raising the HOA dues. The by-laws provide for up to a 10% per year increase, cumulatively. There were no increases in 2001. The Board motioned and approved a 10% increase for 2001 and a 10% increase for 2002, non-retroactive. The next dues with contain the 10% increases, the second compounded on the first. On-going.
7. The Newsletter has been published. Closed.
