She will forward the newsletter to post on the website. This is the information the secretary will use for mailings.

We have five property owners who either have not paid the road assessment for last year or the dues for this year. We will draft certified letters to be sent to these people, insuring that they are informed that special assessments have the same legal requirements as the association dues.

Road Committee
The budget for the current fiscal year included;
Maintenance 17,512
Concrete Barriers 2,000
Erosion above the concrete strip 3,500
Rip Rap 525

The $3,500 quote for the concrete strip is two years old, so a new quote is needed before we proceed with this project. We did not have to spend the $3,000 for the dry hydrant since another developer put this in. The hydrant has been approved by the fire department and is available for a fire department call on any of our properties. We need to make sure that the access road from the hydrant to our properties is capable of being used by the fire department and if any financial help would be needed to bring this up to standards.

The road committee has also discussed the need for an impact fee for new homebuilders ($1,000). This would ensure that the roads could be repaired after use by construction vehicles and also allow for the delivering of additional gravel to fix the portion of the road directly adjacent to the new home builder's property. This is only in the discussion stage.

Cindy rode along with members of Pinnacle South to evaluate their roads. It appears they have documented their findings and created a proposed budget, which they would like to review with our board. This is a very positive step. Bobbie Graham will contact them so that we can have more detailed discussions with Pinnacle South.

As food for thought, it was proposed that we have a "Clean Sweep" day. It would be a volunteer day to clean up any trash along the roadways, probably in January sometime. We need to get something in the Newsletter to determine the amount of interest.

Architectural Committee
The following changes were made to the Architectural Guidelines:
-The tree removal section was removed. We will conform to the by-laws, which prohibit clear cutting.
-Cinder block will be allowed for bottom or basement level.
-Metal gates should be either black or brown or approved by the Architecture Committee.
-The paragraph relating to satellite dishes in the attic will remain, since this is only a recommendation.

Next Meeting
The next meeting will be at 10:00 AM on January 21, 2006, at James Hardin's house.
