TREASURY:

1) 4 unpaid home association dues. Letters were hand delivered to all 4 homeowners, 1 paid on spot, 3 outstanding. Late fees to begin in April

2) Reserve account is set up and ready at the bank. Jake to verify to home closes payments were deposited correctly to this account

3) Jake considering shopping banks. Current bank is hard to work with and slow to respond. In addition, low interest rate on funds. Shawn encouraged Jake to shop options if interested, but might be more work than needed

3) Matt to meet Suburban on April 16th to check all sprinklers and system. System to be shut back down. Kristin to call April 20th BPU to coordinate official water turn on for pool and common areas. For those new to this process, there is a savings for the winterization months vs being charged a flat rate if we allow and pay for BPU to turn water back on. Meters are located at Enclaves entrance, Pool entrance and Main 50th St entrance.

4) Shawn and Matt to walk common grounds within the next 30-45 days

5) Detention basin was burned off this past weekend. Burn is the least expensive option to take care of the cattails. Shawn purchased a specific mower to help with this, but engine blew. HOA will need to replace motor; roughly 300.00 . Will use herbicide soon to help with the cattails.
