January 8, 2018

The meeting was called to order by President Schiewetz. In attendance were At Large: Sugiuchi; Secretary: House; Rec/Hospitality Chair: Mesick; and Rec/Hospitality Committee Member: Isaacson.
President Schiewetz made the following announcements:

• All board members are covered by the Board Liability Insurance policy without being specifically named.
• The prior board documentation can be scanned, and a project to do so will be discussed in a future meeting.
• The pool work is finished except preparing a Pool Data Form to be processed by the County Public Health Department. Pres. Schiewetz will pursue the form.
• Bids to remove trees in the pool area were discussed, including whether to remove all trees or top some. Three bids ranged from $2,200 to $2,500; however further clarification is needed before a bid is selected. At issue are: a) building safety; b) ongoing pool area maintenance costs; and c) adherence with view covenants. The board members agreed to mark trees that appear to meet the above considerations so that all community members can see what is being proposed. Landscape specialists will be consulted by members Sugiuchi and Schiewetz to recommend appropriate replacement trees/vegetation. We will be in touch with the City of Federal Way on the tree cutting and re-vegetation plan for their approval. All members agreed that a good use of the organic material would be to have it chipped and applied to the grounds to reduce weeds. Discussion will continue at the upcoming February board meeting; however, it was agreed that the project should move forward before the pool is reopened for the summer.
• Rules infractions and potential fines discussion was deferred to a later meeting to allow all board members time to review the proposed rules. Pres. Schiewetz reported that our attorney recommended fines for rule infraction. Once the rules are finalized, Board members recommended that the rules be distributed by paper copy to all community members, with each household acknowledging the rules as part of the key card reactivation process. The focus of the rules is to encourage people to do the right thing.
• Discussion of Entrance Lighting has been postponed to a later date.

Other Business:

• Two welcome packets and orchids were delivered to new residents Mr. Yoon and Maggie Hess/Larry Barlow. Questions regarding exterior renovation were referred to the Architect chairperson.
• The hospitality committee suggested that we hold a CPR class prior to the pool opening. The issue will be researched and presented at the February board meeting.
• Procedures for all board positions need to be reviewed and possibly updated. This will be discussed further at the February board meeting.
• The following reports were unavailable for the second month in a row:
  • Treasurer’s report (The financials ending 12/13/17 were made available subsequent to the meeting – below. Prior month was delivered at annual meeting.)
  • Maintenance report
• Next meeting is scheduled for February 15^th.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Laura House
Secretary
