• Sally Taylor circulated copies of the current financial report to all residents. Current assets as of September 30,2010 are as follows:
  Checkbook balance; $13,120.24

  Reserve fund: $3,187.35
  Expenses for the year totaled: $83,500.38
• The $50.00 increase in dues that was initiated in February 2010 has enabled us to pay for the new roofs without taking out a loan.
  This amount will continue, as there will continue to be additional expenses.
  
• The $250.00 "move in" assessment will continue and sellers need to remind their realtors of this charge and also the street assessment
  for the Council Street construction. This assessment is found in the property abstract.
  

• There was discussion concerning the tree removal and trimming. DJ Smith pointed out that according to the bylaws, the association is responsible for
  tree trimming, although in order to save money and to have the owner control what work is done, individuals can do their own trimming and/or request assistance
  from those residents who are willing to do some of this work
• Harley Haber raised the question of saving money on the water bill by removing the meters during the winter months when the sprinklers are off.
  There may be a charge for doing this so Harley volunteered to contact the water department to find out.
• Several residents whose units back up to Council Street report increased road noise and would like the association to consider installing fences behind their
  homes. Norm Stepleton will check into various types and cost.
• Bill Nixon announced that he will be retiring from his job as head of the grounds committee due to the overwhelming requests and lack of volunteer
  assistance. There needs to be someone in charge of each of the different grounds duties instead of one person over everything and he will help new volunteers get
  started.

  have. The group was in favor of this and making it an informal holiday get together.
