Annual Meeting Minutes

November 16, 2006

1. Call to Order
The Annual Meeting of the Encino Creek Homeowners Association was held at the Encino Park Community Center. It was called to order at 7:05 pm by Rich Zielinski, President. Those in attendance were Barry Milam, Dawn Tomaschefsky, Bob Crawford, and David Martinez from Spectrum.

2. Approval of minutes from last annual meeting
Rich went over the minutes with the homeowners and there were no additions or corrections and approval was motioned for by Sandy Snyder and seconded.

3. Board Report/Old Business
A. Entry Way-homeowners wanted to know why the entry way looks so bad. Rich explained the irrigation system was worse off than expected. There were rocks in the system and the water meters are damaged and we are still under Stage One water restrictions.
B. Homeowners voiced concerns about the landscaping. Some are worried property values of their homes will decrease because other neighborhoods’ entrances look great and if they want to sell; people would look past their neighborhood. The homeowners asked why other neighborhoods water and we can not. Spectrum will research alternatives. Homeowners also mentioned replacing all the dead sod with mulch.
C. Gates-homeowners mentioned the gate troubles i.e. remotes not working; being shocked when entering code, gates not working. Ryan with Precision Auto gates explained the gates are too heavy for the pulleys and operators. He also stated the receiver needs to be changed and could be why the remotes are not working. He will install rubber covers on the keypad to prevent shocks.

4. Committees
Rich talked about the community garage sales for Encino Creek. The newsletter will promote two sales a year, a month prior to the garage sales. He also wants to incorporate with the Encino Park Craft Fair for the Fall Encino Creek Garage Sale. Tonight is a great opportunity to sign up for a committee and encourage your neighbors to get involved as well.
Annual Meetings will be held 2nd Thursday of November.




5. Financial Report-
Rich went over the 2007 budget with homeowners and the status of the reserve fund. An update to the reserve study may be necessary in the near future.

6. New Business
A. Rich proposed a vote for leaving the gates open between the hours of 6:30am-8:00am M-F and 5:30pm-7:00pm M-F due to heavy traffic and to not cause a lot of wear and tear on the gates. A majority of homeowners in attendance approved.
B. Homeowners mentioned Bubbling Creek is too dark and there needs to be a street light. Rich agreed and has looked into it but it would have to be installed on a homeowner’s property. If the homeowner were agreeable, the association will evaluate installing the light; if no, we need to be ready with alternatives. A homeowner mentioned the neighborhood should leave their front porch lights on to brighten the neighborhood.
C. Homeowners mentioned the speed people are driving in the neighborhood is too fast and dangerous for children who play outside. Suggestions were speed bumps and Children at Play cones. Rich agreed cones were fine and the speed bumps are a very involved process.
D. The empty KB lot was mentioned because it is not well maintained. Rich has spoken with KB in the past and Spectrum will follow up with KB (Dawn).
E. Homeowner mentioned there should be an incentive for neighborhood upkeep i.e. yard of the month. Rich said that was a great idea and suggested joining a committee to become more involved in the community.

7. New Board Member Election
Rich explained at tonight’s meeting the Association will be voting for a new board member. He introduced both candidates, Celeste Morgan and Jason Dennis and they both gave an introduction on why they wanted to be on the board. Homeowners voted and Jason Dennis is the new board member.

8. Adjournment
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 8:18 PM.
