ROBSON STREET VILLAS

BOARD MEETING

FEBRUARY 20, 2014

MINUTES

PRESENT:  2014 Elected Board Members:

            Sophia Fire, Scott Emerson, Sandra Graves, Kristina Buss

1.      Meeting was called to order at 6:35pm by Sophia Fire, President.   

2.      Minutes of January 16, 2014:

A motion was made by Sandra Graves to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Scott Emerson. Passed.

3.      Treasurer’s Report (Sandra Graves):

The January revenue and expenditures were reviewed. Revenues were $2,375.49 with expenses of $4,903.05, leaving a negative balance of $2,527.56. A motion was made by Scott Emerson to approve the report; it was seconded by Kristina Buss and passed.

4.      Reports:

a.       Pool/Spa (Scott)

A leak in the hose going to the chlorinator was found and repaired for a cost of $140. The new pool service sends us a weekly service report on pool and spa status (and also maintains those reports in their own records).

A pool key will be given to the landscapers so they can clean up debris in the pool area, which will help keep the pool filters working longer.

b.      Blog (Scott)

The Robson Street Villas blog can be found at http://robsonstreetvillas.blogspot.com/. Minutes and other community information are posted on the blog so go check it out! Minutes will also be e-mailed to residents.

c.       Directory (Kristina)

All homeowner information has been obtained and verified; not all renter information is available.

d.      Landscaping (Sophia)

The homeowners in building 4 were able to choose the paver style they liked best, with all homeowners going with either Bella or Toscano.

Oleanders are being removed and replaced with more shade-tolerant landscaping.

While paving areas around building 4, walkways from driveways to sidewalks (where there is currently gravel) will also be paved.

A palm tree by building 3 was trimmed back to protect roof tiles.

e.       Roofs/Repairs (Sandra)

Sandra is looking into a replacement for the black lock box where HOA checks are currently left for pick-up (something more secure and also more user-friendly).

There are no new repairs but two railings on building 1, along with the fascia boards, are in the process of being repainted.

f.       Other

Lights – All lights are working!

Rats – City of Mesa is taking care of the current rat problem, and Sophia is finding quotes for screening vent pipes to prevent roof rats from entering the sewer a second time and causing problems again.

5.      Community Input

a.       Karen Higgs would like to put up a notice on the bulletin board about her lost cat; she should be able to contact Miki Emerson who manages the bulletin board. If any other resident needs to have something put on the board, Miki can be reached at mikimuzny@cox.net.

6.      New Business

a.       Ruby would like to plan a spring social event as well as another neighborhood sale. The board would like to choose a date in April for the social, before the weather gets too hot, but wait until the fall for a sale since there is currently not much interest or need for a sale. The exact date will be chosen when Ruby returns and is able to spearhead the planning for the event.

ADJOURNMENT: 7:20 P.M.
