Mar Cheri Minutes

August 13, 2018

The meeting was called to order by President Schiewetz.  In attendance were board members House; Sugiuchi; and Mesick.  Hospitality Committee member Isaacson also attended.  The following topics were discussed:

• We are still seeking an Architectural chairperson and two committee members.
• In the absence of Treasurer Barlow, no Treasurer’s report was available for July. The tree removal invoice of $2,700 was paid, in addition to regular monthly bills.
• Treasurer Barlow was unable to review any additional accounting software programs over the past month.
• Mesick reported the National Night Out drew over 40 neighbors. Two Police Officers and 6 Firefighter attended, including a demonstration of the fire engine.  Rod Martinez and Ray Krueger were recognized for an outstanding job cooking the burgers.  A Thank You was sent to the Police and Fire Departments for their contributions.
• The Lending Library has been installed, with thanks to the Kruegers. Several books have been contributed.  A small fire was started in the beauty bark near the Lending Library and the Hess and Himichuk families quickly extinguished it.
• Audrey Isaacson sent a card to the Frank family at the passing of long-time resident Katrina Frank.
• Pool backup Manager Sugiuchi reported that it is now less work to close the pool, thanks to those who are leaving poolside as they found it and putting everything away.
• Pool rules violations were discussed at great length; several members have had in excess of 4 guests, which qualifies as a party. Board members are asking to be notified in advance of a party, pursuant to pool rules to avoid facing fines and possible loss of pool privileges.  The board will be looking not only at rule violations but the responses to polite inquiries into rule violations when determining the appropriate action.  The pool rules will be updated in view of the changing demographics.
• Several homes have had trailers/dumpsters parked for extended periods, which is a violation to the CC&Rs. The board should be notified of the extenuating circumstances and the duration of the project necessitating the trailer.
• President Schiewetz will reserve the meeting room at the Federal Way library for the Annual Meeting, which will be tentatively set for November 13.
• Next meeting is scheduled for September 11. Location to be determined.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Laura House

Secretary
