President’s Report

Playground equipment to be added to George Otten Park has not been added yet so Tualitin Hills Parks and Recreation must be waiting till spring to install the new equipment. THPRD have installed a sign noting the changes to the park. More people are signing up to the Arbor Ridge Web site.

Treasurer’s Report

Waiting on year end financial to come in and also looking to get some outside financial advice on changing the way the association is banking. Lynda will contact a financial adviser to attend a meeting. A discrepancy in water billing was reported by the President that it appears a charge may have been applied to the Main Association that should have been applied to the Cottage Landscape. TMG will look into it.

17190 NW Elk Run Drive – Homeowner had a For Sale sign in the front window of the home and given a $75 fine for the violation. Homeowner requested that the fine be removed due to the homeowner being on vacation. Motion was raised to keep the fine in place and this motion was seconded – Board voted to keep the fine in place.

16687 NW Tucson St. – Homeowner would like the $75 fine removed for lawn maintenance violation. In a letter of response the homeowner explains that his lawn is now different than the common area next to his property. D.C. motioned that the fine remain and this was seconded and the board passed this motion.

17162 NW Mesa View Lane – Homeowner replied to the board that they would like the $75 fine removed since they have a contractor working on the lawn. But due to soil being mostly clay that this is delaying the results. S. L. motioned to keep the fine in place and C.P. seconded the motion. The board voted to keep the fine in place.

16976 NW Mesa view Lane – Homeowner responded to the violation with information that the lawn is doing better and Tom W. confirmed that there has bee improvements on the property. After discussion C.P. made a motion that the board will wave the fine as long as there is no citations within the calendar year of 2010 and the motion was seconded and the board voted to waive the fine on the condition that if no other citations would be issued the fine will be waved.

2. Compliance Report / Trash Cans

Trash cans were back up to about 80 s/b 50 cans left out past Thursday morning. After discussion if the can tagging was working or not the board seemed to be thinking that the tagging was working as long as after the second time there was a letter sent to the homeowner. Hopefully the numbers will drop again soon. Violations were not given out during the holidays but that seemed to lead to a spike in left out cans. Currently notes on left out cans and after 2 notes a letter will be sent out that will be the ongoing process unless another change needs to be discussed.

They can be purchased from Clean Water dept at $8.00 a piece instead of having the graffiti cleaned off.
