of the delinquent account and is now making an effort to bring
the account current.
BUSINESS MANAGER'S REPORT
Chuck Baker spoke with Ms. Brown regarding the discrepancies found
in cash payments. Ms. Brown could not explain the discrepancies,

the monies in question that the amount be returned to her in full.
The board reviewed the business manager's
report.
GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. DiNolfi stated that the new buoys will be installed tomorrow.
The board reviewed and discussed the General Manager's report.
Mr. DiNolfi informed the board that the striping
appeared to be helpful during the past holiday weekend. Mr. Chambers
drove a fire truck through the subdivision and went door to door
asking that vehicles parked outside of the lines be moved. Mr.
Chambers noted that all of the individuals approached were cooperative.
Mr. DiNolfi has tagged a vehicle on lot 171.
Mr. DiNolfi requested that the board approve the following fines
for parking violations:
Vehicles parked outside the white lines $25 per day.
Common lot parking $10 per day after seven days, towed after 15
days.
Motor homes illegally parking or occupied $50 per day, towed after
5 days plus a fine.
Repeat offenses - towed at the owner's expense.
The board tabled this item until later in
the meeting.
The board discussed the guard service during
the 4th of July holiday. The board in general felt the service
was "terrible". Mr. McPherson noted that he contacted
Mr. DiNolfi regarding the guard service. Mr. McPherson stated
that Mr. DiNolfi did his job, but the guards were "just terrible".
Mr. Chambers received a bid to remodel the
guard in the amount of $3600. Roofing was not included in the
bid. Mr. DiNolfi volunteered to donate roof tiles (as pictured)
to the association for use on the guardhouse.
Joe Price motioned to remodel the guardhouse,
total cost of the project not to exceed $4500. Bill Risen seconded.
Discussion: Ms. McPherson asked what part of the guardhouse is
to be demolished. Mr. Chambers explained that the part of the
project that will be demolished and removed is the roof. No further
discussion. Motion carried. Mr. Chambers abstained from the vote.
GROUNDSKEEPER REPORT
The board reviewed the groundskeeper report. The board discussed
hiring a gardener. Mr. DiNolfi received a quote from a gardening
service in the amount of $400 per month. The bid would include
maintaining the lawn, trimming the oleanders, sweeping the trash
area (one to two times a week).
Mr. DiNolfi purchased sprinkler heads to alleviate
the need to hand water. Mr. Price stated that there was not enough
water pressure to use the sprinklers. Mr. DiNolfi stated that
as long as only one valve was turned on at a time, there was plenty
of pressure.
Joe Price motioned to hire DeArcos to perform
the gardening service. Gary Svider seconded. Discussion: Mr. Stroud
stated that word does get out and "so called employees"
are talking out of line. He feels that teamwork is necessary.
Mr. DiNolfi stated that he was asked to obtain a quote, and he
does not care one way or the other whether he's working with a
gardener or with Don Braun. Mr. Baker suggested contacting Mr.
Braun and advising him that Mr. DiNolfi is his direct supervisor
and that the board feels it is essential to cut costs in that
area. If Mr. Braun does not want to accept those terms, then Mr.
Baker would recommend hiring an outside service. Joe Price withdrew
his motion.
Joe Price motioned to give Don Braun the option
of working under the terms described above, and if he does not
agree to those terms Mr. Price motioned to hire DeArcos. Chris
Chambers seconded. No further discussion. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Chambers reported that the fire hydrants are complete. Testing
will be scheduled sometime within the following week.
Mr. Churchill stated he has not heard back
from the water company regarding the boat ramp.
Ms. Schlosser received five responses from
Vista Del Monumento property owners. Two homeowners stated that
they currently have trash service through River Cities. The others
have agreed to pay for the service.
Since the board has decided to maintain Vista
Del Monumento property owners names on the gate board, Ms. Schlosser
recommended that they be billed for the name tiles and suggested
that the board approach Vista Del Monumento about purchasing their
own name board. The board felt is was better to maintain control
of the board. Ms. Schlosser stated, in that case a larger board
would need to be purchased as several Keys homeowners are not
on the board at this time and have requested to have their names
posted.
The board discussed and reviewed the revised
bylaws for approval.
Bill Risen motioned to approve the bylaws
as presented. Joe Price seconded. No further discussion. Motion
carried unanimously.
Joe Price received a bid for street sweeping
in the amount of $50 per hour. Mr. Price was directed to provide
Mr. DiNolfi with all of the information on the bidder.
The board discussed the current system of
invoicing dues. The current invoice states that the charges are
due upon receipt; late charges apply if not paid within thirty
days of invoice date. The late fee, per the CC&R's is 10%
of the unpaid balance. The CC&R's currently state that late
charges are to be applied after ten days.
Bill Risen motioned to waived the late fee
for twenty additional days, extending the late fee charge to thirty
days. Chris Chambers seconded. No further discussion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Baker recommended the board approve paying
off the note payable with National Bank. The principle balance
is currently $7031.41.
Bill Risen motioned to pay the National Bank
note payable in full. Bob Stroud seconded. Discussion: Mr. Price
said to make sure to get the re-conveyance. No further discussion..
Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Schlosser was directed to have
Liz pay the note in full.
Mr. Baker requested the board approve rental
of an 8 x 10 storage unit to store the association's records.
Mr. DiNolfi stated that Keys II would be interested in sharing
a storage. Mr. DiNolfi was directed to research and return to
the board with rental prices.
Mr. Stroud spoke with his attorney regarding
the drainage problems created by the recent paving. Mr. Stroud's
attorney recommends "he put this issue in the hands of those
with some authority". Mr. Stroud thought it might be appropriate
for Mr. DiNolfi to research. Mr. Baker recommended that Mr. Stroud
return to the Sanitary District with his claim.
Mr. DiNolfi handed a list of recommended signs
as follows:
No Diving, No Fishing, No Jumping (on the bridges)
Stop Sign (Mr. Risen has a sign to donate)
Trash Bin Signs
2 Ea - Household Trash Only and Transfer Station information

Complex Sign (At gate)
Caution Sign (At gate)

No Wake sign
Joe Price motioned to have the above signs
made and installed. Chris Chambers seconded. No further discussion.
Motion carried unanimously.
The board discussed the list of fines previously
proposed by Mr. DiNolfi. Mr. Churchill stated that the Board has
the authority through the CC&R's to impose fines for CC&R
violations. Ms. McPherson stated she felt homeowners should be
adequately warned of the fines before the fines are imposed. Ms.
McPherson stated, "basically the board has the power to allow
Richard to fine for CC&R violations, the board just needs
to be careful how it's worded.
Joe Price referred to Mr. Coykendahl's request of 38 feet as documented
in the minutes. Mr. Price stated Mr. Coykendahl requested 39 feet,
not 38.
Ms. McPherson asked who is responsible for
notifying individuals of board decisions. Ms. Schlosser was directed
to follow-up in writing to notify individuals on all board decisions.
Mr. Price said the undersides of the bridges
need to be completed or the bolts need to be removed. Mr. DiNolfi
and Mr. Price will review and report at the next regular meeting.
The board discussed the warranty performance
of the gate, and found it to be unacceptable. Ms. Schlosser was
directed to find out whom Miraleste Shores uses for their gate.
NEW BUSINESS
Reports were received that the gate phone and the card slot are
not working properly.
Ms. Schlosser reported that Liz from Complete
Tax Service invoiced the association $84.45 for postage. The board
discussed and agreed to pay as invoiced.
Ms. McPherson asked if Mr. DiNolfi could check
on a street light that is out on Moovalya Drive and contact APS.
Mr. McPherson said there is a new domain "US"
and asked if the board cared if someone used the associations
website name with the US extension. The board did not feel this
was an issue.
Joe Price informed the board of sewer gas
entering his home. He advised that the Sanitary District will
perform a "smoke test" to determine where sewer gas
is entering your home if necessary.
