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!

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.

LITTLE ELK CREEK VILLAGE HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION

MONTHLY BOARD MEETING

July 9, 2007

Meeting was held at the home of Sherri Spykerman at 7:30 p.m. Present were Sherri Spykerman, Cory Brettmann, Eric Cohen and Tom Gering. Suzanne Vernon was absent.

Guests included Bruce Anderson, Treasurer, and Gib Gardner, former president and Board member.

Bruce Anderson presented a resolution necessary for the old and new Board members to be signatories on the Association accounts. The resolution was moved by Cory Brettmann, seconded by Eric Cohen and was unanimously passed.

Upon motion made by Eric Cohen and seconded by Cory Brettmann, Sherri Spykerman was unanimously elected as president. Upon motion made by Eric Cohen and seconded by Tom Gering, Cory Brettmann was unanimously elected as Vice-President, and Suzanne Vernon was unanimously reelected as Secretary.

Following general remarks by former president Gib Gardner, discussion was held on the projection of a management company being retained to manage the day-by-day affairs of the Association. Eric Cohen agreed to investigate and report at the next meeting.

The Board considered Steve Smart’s request for a water tap for his second lot and agreed that the fee should be $1,500.

Sherri Spykerman brought up several items for discussion. The bridge over Little Elk Creek on the footpath between Little Elk Creek and Alexander Avenues needs attention. Cory Brettmann agreed to check it out. The Hills/Richman/Caskey water project is not finished yet and some finishing work needs to be done. Attempts to contact the Caskeys concerning their plans for irrigation have been unsuccessful but will continue as the lack of surface irrigation is a liability to both the Caskeys and the subdivision. Jason Evitt (Go-Fro weed control) will be hired to spray the sides of the roads as Pitkin County will no longer provide that service. (Motion made by Sherri Spykerman, seconded by Cory Brettmann.)

Eric Cohen showed preliminary plans on a house addition with the understanding that final plans with neighbor signatures will be presented at a future meeting.

Upon motion made by Cory Brettmann and seconded by Eric Cohen, meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
