Respectfully Submitted,
Lucille Breese
The Board hopes to hold another community meeting about the waterline replacement project soon. We are waiting on a legal opinion before setting another meeting date. In the meantime, we have made substantial progress on details of construction, installation, and finance. Several contractors have been working with us to identify costs and plans of action. Figures from multiple contractors give us confidence in our cost estimates. We know financing is a big concern for homeowners and we have made real progress in identifying options that should provide the broadest array of repayment plans. Thank you for your continued patience. We look forward to having an open meeting in the near future.

IV. BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS:
A. Encouraged owners to participate in available meetings. All meetings regarding running Quail Run rely on owner input for the Board to make needed decisions.
B. When we all bought into an HOA, we agreed to live by our rules. If there are rules that are unpopular with the owners, some can be changed. However, some rules are required by law, and we do not have the ability to change them. But we are all required to follow the rules, and it is one of the responsibilities of the Board to enforce our rules.
C. Processing complaints takes a long time. There is a process that must happen, depending on the type of complaint. If you have a complaint, put it in writing and give it to Justine in the office.
D. Pet stations were installed for convenience. However, someone keeps removing all the pick-up bags from the stations. Please take only one or two at a time as needed so others can use some.
E. Water meters on the east side of the park are all at the street. Water meters on the west side are in various places around the unit and meter readers need to have access to them.
