Pool Pump Fence
Pat made a motion to approve the proposal to install a new gate and “Guardian” style fence on the wall of the pump area in the amount of $1,791.00 from Phoenix Fence. Jeff amended the motion to look into extending the existing gate height. If it is not more cost effective continue with the proposal from Phoenix Fence, approved unanimously.

Destruction of HOA Property
The board discussed the possibility of offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons responsible for damage to community property. Kevin will look into if this is possible.

Storage Facility
Pat gave a review of the subject. It was suggested to Pat that the board could send a letter representing the common area that belongs to the HOA that adjoins the property in question to the Board of Supervisors. The board agreed that they should represent the Association land. The members in attendance were also in favor of this, but to get a legal opinion. Pat made a motion for Kevin to obtain a legal opinion regarding this issue. If it is legal then a letter should be drafted and sent to the Board of Supervisors expressing the boards disapproval of the rezoning of the land in question for a storage facility, approved unanimously.

Fire House
Pat said she had heard from the Fire Department and they are still looking for sites for a future station. Both sites mentioned are in Superstition Foothills, corner of SMD and D.D and the other across from Golden Eye. If this is perused it would have to go to all before all of the membership for a vote as it did before.

Plat Map
