    2. Management On the last Property inspection there were 7 charcoal barbeques identified on member’s balconies.  Board requested the addresses from management so they can follow-up with the owners.

    2. Pool Opening The pool will be opened on May 1.  The cover is off now and the pool company is getting it ready.  Board members are urged to visit the pool at least once a day during the summer to ensure the area is kept clean and safe.  The anti-vortex covers are often removed by kids.   
  5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
    1. Lien Update Payment plan has been approved and being followed by the homeowner.  If the Board had not intervened, foreclosure would have been imminent.
