A check in the amount of $243.60 was sent back to a homeowner after over-paying his dues.

 Two (2) homeowners still owe their 2008 annual dues. 

 There are no special financial assessments in effect and none are contemplated.  The financial position of the HPHOA is sound and it is expected to remain that way.

      d.   Project Engineer’s Report (Frank Bluestein):

The fence at the park is being painted by a neighbor.  Job will cost approximately $450.00 which includes supplies.

Question was proposed whether erosion control should continue since the drainage is impacted each time there is a heavy rain.  Project engineer estimated that a total overhaul of the drain issue would cost approximately $4,000.00.  There is no downside/risk if this costly work was not done.  Board voted to dismiss this issue.

 Tennis courts were assessed.  There are tears in the net, cracks in the court.  Estimated repair cost to have done at this time is approximately $8,000.00.  Board voted to budget for repair next year and have done during the off-season where the cost would be significantly less.  In addition, 2 signs will be purchased :  “Tennis Only To Be Played on the Tennis Courts” and “PRIVATE: Tennis Courts Are For Use of Hunter’s Point Residents Only”

 e.   Covenants/Architectural Control Committee Report (Bill Montero):

 Concern about garbage being put on near the curb midway through the week. A reminder will be sent that this is a covenant violation.

 f.    Fire Mitigation Report (Bob Biggers):

A Request for Proposal (RFP) was authored by FireWise.  Determination on who will be awarded the project should be announced by the end of July.
