August, 14, 2007 Board Minutes
Meeting was held at the home of Sherri Spykerman at 7:10 pm. In attendance were board members Cory Brettman, Suzanne Vernon, Eric Cohen and Tom Gering. In addition Gib Gardner was asked to attend to help with the transition of new members and new president.
1) Treasurer’s report & signature cards
The financial statements were reviewed and approved. The
new bank signature cards were signed and Corey approved the
minutes from our last meeting with a 2nd by Eric.
2) Manager info
1st Choice Properties was consulted regarding the management of
LEC. They typically handle everything from snowplowing to
accounting and maintenance. It was decided we will not hire a
manager and encourage homeowners to e-mail the Board members
if they have an issue. We will then put it on the agenda for the next meeting, unless it’s urgent, and action will be decided upon as a group. The Board will continue to act as it has in the past
3) Caskey irrigation with update on Hills completion
Caskeys have been asked to install an irrigation pump from the system started by the Hills, which ended at the Hills/Caskey property line. Currently Caskeys are running their sprinkler system off the house, which they had received earlier approval (at the time of construction).
This was allowed due to no available irrigation water on their property at the time. The irrigation pump will be installed by the bridge at the common trail at the end of Alexander Ave where Hills and Richmans also have their pumps. In addition Caskeys have agreed to cover the pump. Many thanks to Jack & Suzanne and happy travels!
4) Lederer/Jenkins water situation
Not a LEC problem
5) Playground irrigation
All is functioning well this summer. Needs continuous maintenance.
6) Playground
Eric and Cory will do a preliminary study to determine actual cost and design of redoing playground, including installation and removal of old playground.
7) Cohen addition
Plans were approved by the board with signatures of adjoining neighbors. Eric has now received written approval from the board with a statement asking for additional info for his planned solar installation. It is requested that same procedure for approval be followed: drawings, signatures from neighbors, and board approval.
Solar
LECHOA supports solar installations. It is required that any homeowner wishing to install solar panels in the future must go through the usual “procedure for approval”. This process is to have drawings/plans signed by neighbors, then brought to the board for approval. Neighbors to be included are any in the line of sight.

Motion to adjourn by Corey at 8:40 pm – 2nd by Suzanne.
