Key Items

Delinquent Account Strategy: Extended discussion on units with non-payment. Best option often: wait until home is sold (legal action may not recoup cost). Management to explore sending an explanatory letter to delinquent accounts (not a formal 30-day demand letter). Simpler statements requested — current ledger statement is confusing homeowners. Motion to send certified mail with signature receipt to accounts over $1,000 in arrears (up to $100 budget). See assessment-collection-policy.

Re-election: Mike Halko and Mark Hanley are up for re-election at the July meeting. July meeting moved to 7/11. Meeting announcements and call for candidates to be sent.

KSN Service: Approved to continue KSN fee for monitoring assessed value of common spaces.

Landscaping: Covered sidewalk cleared. Mulch approved ($2K). Fisher Burton mulching quality raised as a concern. Atlantic Ave mulch manufacturer contacted about smell/debris — possibly open to providing HOA mulch.

New Financial Manager at API: Management report mentioned a new financial manager (context not specified).

A&A Approval: 1324 Snowberry Lane — windows.
