Officers’ Reports:

A. President’s Report:  

1. Steve talked to Dennis Pay about our work records.  He has received our reports, but has been to busy to get back with us.  Everything looks great, and we should keep up the good work.

2. Steve asked Terrell to consolidate the pond maintenance records to monthly instead of exact dates.  

B. Secretary’s Report: 

1. Terrell has kept the records and supplied the minutes.  The notice of meeting was mailed within the timeframe required by MCPHOA bylaws.  The minutes and the agendas will be posted on the blog for future reference.

2. Shelly moved to accept the minutes from the February meeting.  The motion was seconded by George.  The vote was unanimous.

C. Treasurer’s Report: 

1. Chris sent the treasurer’s report to Terrell who reported that we have $5,322.82 in our bank account, which includes $50.00 fee to South Salt Lake for dumpsters.  We also paid out $200.88 for the “No Trespassing” signs.  Thank you Ken.. 

2. We have 11 property owners who have paid dues for 2014.

3. We need to write a $100.00 check to Lewis for the seed that he bought.  Terrell will scan and send the receipt to Chris.

Other Business:

George spoke with Rich Judd from Salt Lake County Flood concerning the beaver dam.  Judd said that nothing can be done until the beavers are gone.  George moved to trap the beavers.  The motion was seconded by Steve.  The motion was later withdrawn.  Jerry moved to have the trustees, plus Michele, write a letter to the appropriate entities.  The motions was seconded by Shelly.  The vote was unanimous.  Carolyn volunteered to edit the letter.  We should ask the Mayor to review the letter before it is sent.

The raised water, caused by the dam, is causing bank erosion, and will kill the trees behind Ken and Judy’s homes.

Ken said that other neighbors have complained about stuff on the common areas.  He asked if there is anything in the lease agreement prohibiting what we put on the leased land.  New permanent structures are not allowed.  Lewis has a shed outside of his fence, but his survey shows that he owns ten feet beyond his fence line.  He said he will move his fence to clear up that matter.

Jerry moved to adjourn the meeting.  The motion was seconded by George.  The vote was unanimous.  Everyone pitched in on the spring cleaning.

The next meeting will be block party at 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 28th, at Jerry and Terrell’s house.  Steve will create the invitations, and Chris and Kimarie will hand deliver the invitations.
