Assessment Response:  17 liens are outstanding. The final notice letters have been sent out. Jim motioned to waive one late fee; Joe seconded; approved 5-0.

Herald article:  Joe’s article will be in May’s Herald.  

CPAN:  Larry heard back from Bill Mason (of Segan, Mason, and Mason, our attorneys), and reports that using the CPAN system to inform mortgage companies of an intent to file a lien would not be an effective way to encourage payment, as mortgage companies usually only use the system to react to a potential foreclosure. 

Annual Meeting: The nominating committee is still looking for a new board candidate. The official mailing will be going out in a few days. Larry will contact RCS Management for the mailing labels and additional items needed for the meeting.

Trash Pickup: Larry and Joe went to the common area on the north side of Commonwealth Blvd next to 10324 and cleaned it out.

Architectural Issues:  One application for a fence was approved; there is other activity in the neighborhood that will have to be looked into.

Communications from Members: Joe received a note about a dead tree on Collingham. They can not tell whose land the tree is on but it’s not on the Association’s land. Supervisor Bulova’s office will be sending an urban forrester out to determine whose tree it is, and how it got damaged. The Association is assisting in trying to resolve the ownership and responsibility for the tree.

Hearing no new business, Mary motioned to adjourn; Joe seconded. Approved 5-0 at 8:45 pm.
