Aspen Mesa Estates Board Meeting Minutes
August 11, 2014
Meeting called to order at 7:15 pm.

In Attendance: Pat Henry, Ann McLeod, Barbara Brett, Scott Leslie, Marilynn Cook, Nancy Miller, Frank Chudy, Ron Wolff, Yayoi Wakabayashi is a guest..

Financials:
We have $115,218.19 in the bank, with $2880.41 in accounts receivable. This number will be reduced by the amount due to Hughes Excavation for the water line replacement and repairs by approximately $80,000.

Water Line:
Hughes is closing up the first stage of this project and reconnecting permanent lines to homes. The test is complete and the total bill came to nearly $75,000. This is the last segment of the old pipe to be replaced to avoid winter breaks and outrageous after hours emergency repairs. The board has also approved an additional $4500 to repair lines which when overflow leakage occurs it flows into pumphouse #2. We save transport costs since the equipment is already on site.

Backflow:
Due to lack of response to our reminder cards Mike Josephson and Pat Henry will be contacting homeowners directly by phone to set up appointments. It is very important to maintain the protection of this water system. We are thankful to those few who have responded promptly. This is an ongoing program that we must keep current.

Water meter issues:
The two meters that are apparently offline will be checked by Pat Henry and Mike Josephson.

Meter reading:
Ann McLeod will be the backup for Yayoi for our quarterly meter reading.

By Laws:
Pat has proposed that we, as a board begin a process of updating our by laws. We will each review and give input to formerly change those by laws that do not any longer pertain to today's business or that are in need of "fine tuning".

Architectural Issues:
John Hembel has requested approval of an out building/shed. The board has approved this and requested that he place accordingly so as not to impose on any neighbors views..

Dumpsters:
The board has agreed that we will maintain an every other year program for block party and dumpster. Considering the additional expenses incurred this year this will be the off year.

Meeting adjourned at 9:10. The next meeting will be held at Nancy Miller's house on Sept. 29th at 7pm.

Thanks to Pat and Vel for their lovely hosting of this meeting!
