Shawn Johnson welcomed all homeowners to the annual meeting. Introduced and thanked board members for their service for the year. Board was able to return to in person meetings this year. Plan to move forward with in person meetings in 2022. It was a year of tragedy in our community. Shawn thanked the neighbors for stepping up and showing support. Finances are in good shape- our reserve is sitting at 80-90% which is great. Detention basin is wrapping up. Per city code had to certify the capacity around the storm run off to insure we remove silt build up. Engineer is in communication with the city, and we will be advised how to move forward. Shout out to Matt Ferris for running with the food truck series and hosting the Halloween pizza party. Great turn out. Enclaves build is on their 3rd builder. Completion estimation is mid-May. Walking a tight rope to keep communication open with owner although frustrating with the lack of progress. Will see a new build on 49th Terrace begin in 2022. DCB is the builder of a spec home. This home will fall under the regulation and earnest deposit of 12k with specific requirements on time frame or builder will lose earnest deposit. And lastly, Shawn is leaving the board. He has been President for 3 terms and his time has come but will be available to help transition new President HO question: In times with tragedy or specific to information that needs to get out quickly, can the board do a homeowner email?

This should wrap up the large expenses. In 2022 we will see new tables and chairs that match the new chaise lounges. The parking lot will be resurfaced and restriped. That leaves the pool cement deck and fence to be tackled at some point. It costs roughly 7k per season for Pool Services and the chemicals, 1200.00 for hired teenagers To help with nightly closing, outside of any work or repairs needed to maintain the pool.
TREASURY
Jake did not renew the CD. Jake reviewed budget and expenses for 2021 by line item. Went over specifics for 2022 Budgets Cash Reserve is new this year.
