AUGUST 2014 PPHOA Board Meeting Minutes

PPHOA Board Meeting Minutes
20 August 2014

In attendance:  MSJones, Daniel, Ryan, Kelsey, DeeAnn, Norm

Megan apologizes for getting behind with email approvals and has hard copies of these two meetings.
Approve copy of annual meeting minutes—we will approve these via email.
Approve last month’s minutes.—Ryan moves to approve.  Daniel seconds.  All in favor. 
            Note to change: Norm has reconsidered and is still a member of the board.    

Treasurer’s Report
1.     Financial Standing.  We’ve dropped below $100,000.
a.     $39,419.17 in the money market account.
b.     $56,730.96 in checking. 
c.     $25.18 in savings. 
2.     The changes in balances came from some larger expenses.
a.     Two months of lawn care came to $2700.
b.     There are 2 more big bills for lawn maintenance for July and for sprinklers.
*Megan is curious about year-to-year expenditures.  She will pull the numbers and work with Daniel to make a comparison spreadsheet. 
c.     Some of the doors are a lot older.  For new doors, the weather stripping is $45.  Other doors are over $100/door.  Each door had to be fitted individually.  This has changed the cost of the weather stripping.
d.     We are now invoiced for the stripping and the first 30 doors.  This has come to $4820.  (Sanding, paint, and paint for 2 tone and 1 tone doors.)  Let’s pay him tonight.
3.      We have 3 households behind on their dues.  For those late (and especially out of town) we can recommend automatic bill pay.
4.     How much are we paying for garbage? 
a.     The bins are each about 446/445 per bin.  2x/week. 
b.     We can always negotiate this down. 
c.     The frequency is fine. 

Secretary Update
1.     Please copy of official documents.  They will be in your box by midnight tonight—I’m reformatting to embed amendments in the body of the documents.  I will ask for approval to post on the website and distribute.
2.     Review copy of By-law amendment.  If it is okay, I will have it notarized.
3.     ACTION: Write and send newsletter
Keep PP clean (garbage at parking spots)
Don’t use oil-based products on new paint doors.  If you want to maintain paint, only use water for cleaning. 
Paint looks great, shutters are next—timeline for completion
Minutes from June meeting
New board position list
Reminder about breaking boxes down and cleaning up can go in newsletter.





Painting Project
1.     Update on progress.  ACTION: Daniel will talk to Marcello when he delivers the check.  Megan will follow up on her text. 
2.     Concerns?
3.     Estimated time to finish?

Repairs
1.     Status of repairs on roof above Daniel and Megan.
a.     It’s been tightened down to not flap.  But some strips need to be replaced.
b.     There were others places around the flue. 
c.     ACTION: DeeAnn will call Tony about completing these repairs. 
2.     Decision on cost of repairs of decks to homeowners based on our reading of the bylaws.

From the CC&Rs:
5.2 Exterior Maintenance. The Association will provide maintenance upon the exterior of each home, fencing, garage and the Common Area as follows: paint, repair, replace, and care for roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior building surfaces, trees, shrubs, grass, walks, streets and other exterior improvements except glass surfaces. In the event an owner of any Lot in the Properties shall fail to maintain the premises and the improvements situated thereon  in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Directors, after a resolution is passed by two thirds of the Board of Directors, the Association shall have the right, through its agents and employees, to enter upon said parcel and to repair, maintain and restore the Lot and the exterior of the Unit and any other improvements erected thereon. The cost of such exterior maintenance shall be added to and become part of the assessment to which such Lot is subject.

1.     Reminder that years ago, a decision was made that the PPHOA would repair one time only and the rest would be taken care of by the homeowners.
a.     Some feel we should follow this oral history.
b.     Others feel that if it wasn’t written down so it shouldn’t be binding.  There was no amendment and no resolution.  And these aren’t binding. 
c.     But there are homeowners that paid to repair.
d.     According to memory, all balconies have been repaired once.  All the wood fences were replaced and the floors were replaced.  The Tongs have repaired theirs again and paid for it themselves.
e.     How about the pillars in front?  Those seems like PPHOA would pay.
f.      The McKell unit needs to be taken care of.  The column and the roof are the concern.  Birds are nesting.  This isn’t common damage. 
g.     Kelsey points out that if we fixed them in the first place, then it was clear that the balconies were part of exterior maintenance.
h.     The problems moving ahead for maintenance is the flashing on the balconies.  The flashing is part of the PPHOA. 
2.     Two issues: 
a.     Are balconies “exterior building surfaces” or not?
b.     Can we do proactive repairs to keep further water damage from happening?
3.     Garage doors are the responsibility of the owners because of a letter.
4.     Ryan moves we should honor the CC&Rs, no matter the past, and move ahead with the repair of external surfaces according to the rules in CC&R rules V.2. 
a.     The board would get contractor bids. 
b.     That concerns of owners when they need things repaired or replaced are considered on a case-by-case basis. 
5.     Daniel seconds Ryan’s notion.
6.     Call for questions:
a.     Why wouldn’t homeowner’s insurance cover that?
b.     The CC&Rs are old.  We could maybe go to a lawyer and update things.  There are attorneys that deal with this.  Should we contact one?  We think this is a good idea, but it is a separate idea than following these rules. 
c.     Should we call for an amendment to take garage doors off the CC&Rs?
7.     Vote:  5 in favor and 1 against (because this person felt we needed more time to consider.)
8.     How does this relate to additional insured?
9.     Kelsey’s job will be to make sure that we have records of all insurance from homeowners.
a.     It needs to be current.
b.     It needs to be marked with “additional insured.”
c.     Kelsey will contact those who don’t have names on binders.
d.     Also check that they are insured correctly:  we are a PUD.  Town homes, not condos, not stand-alone homes. 
10.  Also, earthquakes are not covered here because we are on a fault line. 
11.  DeeAnn things that the first course of action should be homeowners insurance.
12.  ACTION:  Ryan will talk to McKell re: insurance.  Will let DeeAnn know.  DeeAnn will talk to Tony.

We feel strongly that we might want to update the CC&Rs and Bylaws with a lawyer.   
1.     Megan says maybe a law student? 
2.     Norm will ask a specialty firm about this.
3.     Megan wonders (as she edits the notes) about Jean Tanner?

Board Members and Responsibilities
1.     Sherri McKell has expressed interest in serving on the Board.  She would not be able to meet Wednesday nights, but is free the rest of the week.  We will revisit this next month. 
2.     Last month’s elections and appointments:
New Board Officers:
President: Ryan Holdaway
Vice-President: DeeAnn Jennings
Treasurer:  Daniel Trousdale
Secretary: Megan Sanborn Jones
Additional Insured/Welcome Wagon:  Kelsey Navasard
Landscaping—DeeAnn Jennings
Contracts, Bidding, PPHOA Insurance—Norm Tong

ACTION: Norm will call precision concrete cutting to shave the sidewalks where they are uneven.




Parking
1.     Getting rid of the snow plow.
a.     DeeAnn checked with the police.  It was abandoned by Juan, so it is ours.
b.     We will list it on KSL and put the money into the account.  Kelsey will do this.
2.     ACTION: DeeAnn and Megan will sort through cars.
a.     ACTION: Megan will get stuff in writing.
b.     Jean Tanner needs a note for Hemphill.  McKell needs a note for Ryan. 
c.     What if we started charging to park back there? 
d.     If I can’t get permissions, tell them they are out of compliance, so please reply by 10 September by getting in compliance. 
3.     ACTION: Megan will make a chart with assigned spots for back.
