3. HOMEOWNER & GUEST FORUM:

Ms. Weaver reported for the NAC, Neighborhood Advisory Committee. She stated that there were reports of drug activity in the neighborhood.

She shared there has been an increase in car break-ins and encouraged residents to get a ring video doorbell to deter crime.

4. MANAGEMENT REPORT:
   
   1. Snow Clearing Contract Renewal: The Board reviewed the snow clearing contract renewal from Ruppert Landscape. As the Board is aware, the Association is only responsible to clear the common sidewalks in the community, as the streets are City owned and maintained and are plowed by the City.

Motion: To approve the snow clearing contract from Ruppert Landscape as presented.

            Ferguson/Weaver                                         Vote:/ 7/0/0

1. 2. New Pool Furniture: The Board reviewed a second proposal for the outside furniture repair. Members of the Board, Ms. Weaver and Ms. Ferguson will be acting as project managers. Management made it clear that Criterion Inc., included furniture delivery and assembly as part of their proposal cost. Sometimes other companies are less expensive but delivery and assembly are not included in the quote and that can add up to more expenses for the community.

Motion: To approve up to $30,000.00 for the furniture repair project to be paid from Reserves.
