5.  MANAGER’S REPORT

 

A. Debbie Kilroy reviewed the status of dues. There were many homeowners with late fees due to a change of address for payment. The late fees still need to be removed on some items and Debbie will send a clean report for the Board.

 

B. Violations were deferred to Executive Session.

 

6. NEW AND ONGOING BUSINESS

 

A. The Board reviewed the proposal from Communications Consulting Group (CCG) and the legal response to the proposal. The OPLG governing documents do not permit the HOA from entering a contract related to utilities for more than one year. Debbie approached CCG to see if they will accept a month to month contract and they will not. The Board may not enter into a contract with them.   

 

B. Election Update: Three inspectors of election have been confirmed. They are Kathleen Grant, Carla Canu and Bobbi Stoffers. The vote may be able to be held by acclimation. Debbie will send out the information by that.

 

C. Landscape Bids: Ron walked the project with several landscape companies and is still receiving bids on this. The water situation will be a part of the consideration for scope of work.

This new version is labeled April 12, 2022 and will be sent to all owners and posted on the website.

 

E. Reserve Study Project: Painting Bids. We have received two painting bids and Debbie will get one more bid for consideration.
