ROAD REPORT – Ray Silva reported on the status of the road improvement proposal with the City of Clearlake. Ray said that Council member Denise Loustilow proposed a meeting with the City Manager to discuss the proposal. Ray said he was waiting on that proposal. Ray explained that when there is money available, the City has to request the funds for a road project. For our road repairs, Doug Herron of Public Works would need to request repair funds but has not done so.  Ray believes the City is ignoring the problem.

Ray suggested taking the road proposal in a different direction. Ray explained the numbers he was using for the proposal; 180 lots contributing $1000 per lot ($180,00), which costs the owners $150.00 per year. The City’s proposal is $500,000 and wants the HOA to pay it all.

Ray offered suggestions of where to look for funds:

• Special Districts owns the sewer lines; ask them to fix the trench failure or direct funds to the City
• Ask for funds from the phone and garbage companies for truck damages
• Ask the Supervisors to help.

After the suggestions, the members discussed the options. Henry suggested that the proposal be made directly to the City Council by Association letter. Carolynn offered to write the letter and Henry offered to assist and review. Ray said he would provide numbers and details. It was agreed that the completed letter would be presented to the board for approval.

REALTOR REPORT – One new for sale listing was reported and Mike said he would send the Association letter. Henry talked about his neighbor Steve’s vacation rental and proposed writing a letter to the City.

WATER WEED PROBLEM – Dee opened the discussion by asking if the Association should have a fund for weed removal. The members discussed whether the weed problem was an Association problem or a homeowner problem.  With members on each side, the consensus was to approach the weeds as a homeowner problem.

A motion was made to send an Association letter with pictures of the weeds to the owners of lots with weeds. The letter would offer the options of owner removal, hiring available workers, or sending a donation for removal. Mike offered to write the letter. The motion was seconded and passed.

MOTION TO ADJOURN – A motion to adjourn was made. The motion was seconded and passed.
