The following Directors were present:

George Dailey
Mike Smith
John Garing
Sean Siegel
Mark Bry
Randy Weddle

Also present were homeowners Bill Rathke, Carrie Gruhn, Keith Smith, Tom Ralston, and Russ Kucinski.

A quorum being present the meeting was called to order by the Secretary, John Garing, at the hour of 7:37 p.m.

The agenda was presented and approved.

Carrie Gruhn asked about removing some trees from her property. She was advised that the Fire Department would come out and inspect your property for free and tell you which trees need to be removed. You then get 3 estimates to remove the trees and the Municipality may reimburse you up to 80% of the cost. The downside is that you will have to remove all the trees that they designate. George Dailey moved to approve her request to remove 3 trees. Sean Siegel 2nd the motion. The motion was approved.

A comment was made that there appeared to be a tree house built in the common tract of land behind the well house. The Board will look into this.

Tom Ralston stated his objection to the cost of the Spring Clean-Up each year. Tom felt that the money could be better spent elsewhere in the budget and homeowners should take care of their own cleanup.

Ida Dailey reported that she was aware of at least 5 streetlights that were either out or in need of repair. Homeowners are encouraged to contact Chugach Electric if they notice a streetlight out.

The minutes of the April 6th Board of Directors meeting were distributed and reviewed. George Dailey moved to approve the minutes as written. Sean Siegel 2nd the motion. The motion was approved.

The Board reviewed the Treasurer's report:

Total Income to Date: $ 107,631.48
Total Expenses to Date: $ 12,652.12
Total Assets: $ 400,940.19
Total Uncollected Dues: $ 13,905.53

Sean Siegel reported on the current repairs being done to the water storage tank. The tank appears to be in great condition and they expect the tank to be back online by the middle of the month.

Sean Siegel suggested that homeowners should locate their water key box (main water shut-off) and mark it in case of an emergency and they need to have their water turned off. Sean offered to assist homeowners in locating their key box and will document its location. Sean can be reached at 770-0449.

Bill Rathke reported that the roads contractor has now started the street sweeping. A final sweeping will be done after the Spring Clean-Up work is complete.

The Board discussed possible locations for the board meetings during the summer months, as the school will be closed and the cost increases substantially during the summer to use the school. Ida Dailey will contact a church down on O'Malley, Sean Siegel will check with O'Malley's on the Green as a possible location, and Joy Kucinski is also looking into a location.

The Board reviewed a proposal from Pleasant Valley Landscaping for the Spring Clean-Up. Randy Weddle moved to approve the contract with Pleasant Valley. George Dailey 2nd the motion. The motion was approved.

The next meeting of the Board will be held on June 1st at the hour of 7:30 p.m. at a location to be determined. A notice will be posted on the website for the location or homeowners can contact Bonanza.

Being no further business to come before the Board at this time the meeting was adjourned at the hour of 8:40 p.m.
