This was the Organizational Meeting of the new Board of Directors elected at the November 7, 2004 Annual Meeting. The Board elected the following individuals:

President: Veronica Precella

Vice-President: Steve Muller

Treasurer: Barb Ditmars

Secretary: Steve Odendahl and Paul Throckmorton

and appointed the following committee chairs:

Arch. Control: Rich Lathrop Ann Nagel volunteered for the ACC.

Hot Tub: Cindy Johnson

Landscape: Ellen Readio Ellen really needs some help. She has been looking after Northcreek’s landscape single-handedly and quietly for many years. It’s time we get her some support. If you can help out, probably only an hour or so per month, please give Ellen a call.

FINANCIAL MATTERS: Delinquent dues: only one Owner owes $90. Current NSHOA balance: $4,857.54

HOT TUB: Cindy Johnson working with Advanced Water Care to get them to post the day and time of chlorinating. Tub should not be used for a few hours after chlorinating.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE: November activity report distributed to Board (available to any HOA member via email). Four properties remain in non-compliance for structural items: two for painting, one for painting and repairs, one for a leaning fence. Two needing painting only have committed to paint in spring/summer 2005. Two others have indicated they do not intend to comply.

‘THE TREE’: UCAR notified President Precella it “may proceed with legal action” by Dec. 3 if the tree problem is not resolved by that time. Ellen Readio agreed to seek further negotiations to reduce NSHOA’s costs which could range as high as $2,736 for complete removal of the tree.

LANDSCAPE: The Board approved Ellen Readio’s design for the sign to replace the deteriorating community sign near the volleyball pit. At $1,500, the sign will be of similar size and color, fitting into the current brackets on the brick columns. Material is high density 2” foam, “as strong as wood” and extremely weather resistant. Design will prevent buildup of snow – and melting – on sign top which contributed to deterioration of original.

ADJOURN: The new Board selected the first Wednesday of each month, **7 – 8 p.m.**for their regularly scheduled meeting time. The next meeting will be January 5 at the Ditmars’ home, 4881 Hopkins Place.
