FINANCIAL REPORT:
Lori Ulloa reported that as of April 26,
2015, Cedarwood had a total of $71,362.92
in checking, savings and accounts
receivable. Bills in the amount of $6,681.96

were designated to be sent to the
homeowners as they involved the
homeowners.
Delinquencies totaling over $5600 were
reported. One unit owes over $2,300 and it
is currently in foreclosure. Some of the rest
of the amount is for people who haven’t paid
for April and several who are behind only
one month or forgot to add the additional $6
since the beginning of January 2015.
She reported that 32 people have taken
advantage of auto pay. Anyone wanting
information on auto pay please contact Lori
at the email address in the first column.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
a)
Architectural Control/Buildings
Maintenance:
1) Several more units have been added to
the gutter repair list. IF YOU HAVE NOT
REQUESTED
GUTTER
REPAIR,
PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL A BOARD
MEMBER AS THERE IS NOONE ON
BUILDINGS MAINTENANCE YET. The
Board will see that the requests are in one
place and a repair person will be hired to
do the work. Included on this list are
people who want gutter guards replaced. If
you have the old gutter guards in your
garage, also leave that information as they
will be reused for others who do want them.
2) Andy notified 3597 Cedarwood Court
that the front door required a storm door and
the owner responded well.
3) Andy contacted the City concerning the
broken plastic lid in the sidewalk on Devils
Glen Road and someone at the City said
they would take care of it.
3)
Siding has been repaired at 3607
Cedarwood Court as requested at last
meeting.
4) There was a back up in the basement of
3560 Devils Glen Road and Cedarwood took
care of it.
b) Grounds Maintenance:
1) Andy has been working with two
companies getting bids for stump removal.
Also, he is working with another company
regarding tree trimming and tree removal.
Nothing was approved at the meeting.
2) The bushes at 3607 Cedarwood Court
have not been replaced as the Board is
waiting for the bid from Cribbs.
c) Nominating & Welcoming:
1) No report on nominating. However, new
homeowner, Cindy Grabow, was in
attendance and asked if she was interested
on serving on the Board to fill Don Godke’s
place. She agreed and the Board voted for
Cindy to join the Board.
2) Joan Mayes welcomed one owner, Cindy
Grabow at 3757 Cedarwood Court and one
renter, Andy Zinngrabe at 3632 Cedarwood
Court. If you are aware of someone new in
your neighborhood, please contact Joan at
332-0681 and leave a message.
d) Pool:
1) Bob Hannah attended the meeting and
gave the following report: he bought black
paint to paint the pool drain which must be
visible at all times. He has ordered the
chemicals to get the pool ready. He is
having problems with the computer which
works the pool fobs and expects to get that
fixed soon.
OLD BUSINESS:
No old business.
NEW BUSINESS:
a) Because Jason Kakert was a guest at the
meeting, he was asked to go ahead with his
pitch for tree services in Cedarwood. He
said his owner, Scott Carlson, is a Board
Certified Arborist. He said the company is
reasonable and they would be interested in
giving bids to Cedarwood. He or someone
from his company will meet with Andy
Swanson one day this week to look at the
trees that have been determined to be in
need of removal.
b)
Discussion was held on the letter
received from Chris Brown who wrote that
she was against trimming trees up too far
and also taking out healthy trees in
Cedarwood. Cedarwood owners are entitled
to privacy was the most relevant concern in
the letter and from members of the Board.
Andy Swanson responded that the two trees
that are on the list to be removed are
reported to be dying.
c) Homeowners’ forum—
Carla Osborn suggested the possibility of a
mission statement concerning long-term
projects and expenses for the continuity of
the Board.
This would help keep
Cedarwood on the same path no matter who
is serving on the Board.

your calendars for the following meeting
