by the board.
SUMMER PICNIC BUDGET DISCUSSION
There was a short discussion about the picnic being
over-budget. Originally budgeted for $500.00, the board spent approximately $767.00 ($697, plus another $70). The
increased cost was attributed to face-painting services at the picnic. This increase
was approved by the board.
Jay Haworth reportedly submitted a reimbursement
invoice for $15 for face-painting deposit/down payment.
UPDATE ON NEIGHBORS
Neighbor Cindy Storm underwent a recent surgery and
is recovering well. A get-well card was signed by the board members.
Darrel Del Duca reported that Jim Barnhill is planning
to return to his home.
HOME VACANCIES/FOR SALE
Bob Engel reported that the property identified as
5128 Hinsdale Circle (next to the Dixon’s) was up for sale.
Joe Steinbach thought the property identified as
7162 Platte Canyon Drive was also up for sale, but it was later concluded that the open house was the homeowner’s business
activity and not currently up for sale.
YARD-OF-THE-MONTH
Diane disclosed that one of the neighbors raised
an issue that some homeowners cannot compete for the Yard-of-the-Month awards with those homeowners who have their yards landscaped
professionally. The board concluded that the award criteria did not differentiate
between homeowner-based landscaping vs. professional landscaping; that the purpose of the awards were primarily to stimulate
the neighborhood into caring for their yards.
The board approved a motion to end Yard-of-the Month
awards for this year.
CMPOA FACEBOOK PAGE STATUS
Josh Littrell was not able to attend this month’s
meeting to update the board on Facebook. He reportedly is unable to publish due
to other commitments. Jay Haworth raised a question as to who shall manage this
effort.
