       5.04   GARDENING REPORT – Director Pollock reported they haven’t had too many new requests.  She has spoken with Susan who is awaiting clearance to drive before she can return to work.  Discussions about payment for the lawn mower will happen on her return.  Director Pollock reported that payment of her bill has been tardy and President Rugar suggested that it be suggested that her monthly fee be set up for automatic payment.  He will speak with Management Cost Control to make that happen.  Director Pollock reported that the wooden planters need to be replaced.  She will research stone options (similar to stonework that already exists in the complex) and report back to the board.  Bomberger requested the gardeners place the yard waste bins on the curb not in guest parking.  Director Pollock will discuss with the gardeners.

        6.02  Wrought-Iron Fence – President Rugar reported the City had sent a Letter of Compliance of Notice with Abatement.  He will send it to Management Cost Control to file.

        6.03  Landscape Irrigation Consultation – Director Pollock suggested this be tabled until Spring, but the board requested she contact the consultant to see if that is appropriate or what action should be taken.

        6.04  Annual Audit – Treasurer Grossman reported the audit must be done by  six months from August 31, 2006.  He will bring bids for the audit to the next board meeting.

        6.05  Lake Committee – Committee Chair Lauritsen reported that Rodger Axt had hesitated to contact his worker to begin work on cleaning out the silt box since payment to the worker (for previous work when he removed the spikes from the fence) had been tardy.  Upon review it was determined that the payment may have been delayed due to improper payment request.  Treasurer Grossman will speak with Axt to insure he uses the appropriate procedure to submit payment requests.  After discussion about the committee’s plans, President Rugar asked to meet with the committee prior to work being initiated.  President Rugar also asked the committee to review management of the reeds in front of Unit #16.

        6.07  Seal coat on Glen Lake Drive– President Rugar reported he had met with Granite to get an estimate to repair the parts of road in the worst shape.  To do it all will cost an additional $27,000.  He will ask Granite to go over estimates for separate places so that the board can choose which specific areas need repair the most at this time, rather than seal coat.

7.0       NEW BUSINESS –

        7.01   ECHO Seminar – The board agreed that if Grossman chooses to attend the 9/23/06 seminar, he will be reimbursed.
