D.    Hail damage to homes and POA buildings
Chris stated that around the end of April our subdivision was in a hail field, and a number of roofs were damaged.  Just about every house in our area was hit with at least some hail damage.  The Clubhouse and Well house sustained leaks.  Chris also said be cautious of contractors canvassing the area.  It is important to know who you are dealing with.  You may contact a roofer first to see if there is damage then contact your insurance company.  Roy suggested getting the roofer and the inspector together if possible.
Volunteers
Chris said we have had a lot of volunteers helping with clean up on the tennis courts & water and sewer system.  Due to the storms we will need to put in a new grate and do a rock- fill by the tennis courts.  Chris thanked all the volunteers who have helped, and we said really appreciate it.

1.      Date: May June 24, 1:00 p.m.  BL 3.03
We are taking nominations for the Board. Send your name to Connie Andersen if you are interested in running so that we can put your name on the ballot.  You may also nominate someone at the Election meeting.

Chris asked for volunteers to be on the Election Committee.  No one volunteered.  You have to be a home owner and in good standing to run for office.
3.      Nomination for members of the Board

F.     Water and Sewer Report- John Goff
John reported that water to 14 homes was shut off for a few hours last week to repair a valve.  Sometime in the future we need to shut off the main line to put in a pressure check regulator - everyone will be notified when this happens.  In the summertime we use up to 60,000 gallons of water per month and only 11,000 gallons goes through the sewer system. Andrea said last year they used their rain barrels to conserve water.  Thank you to John Goff for all he does on our water system.
Backflow Valves Required on Lawn Watering Systems – Those with lawn watering systems are required to have a Backflow Valve, and it needs to be inspected by a certified person.  You may contact Ozarks Environmental Services at 417-739-4100. Certifications must be done annually and certification must be forwarded to Dan Davis, Treasurer.
G.    Club house and Swimming Pool Report- Marc Foreman
The Swimming Pool will not be open Memorial Day week-end due to a crack in the pool.  Marc will seal and paint the pool. Thank you to the Tillman’s who donated the new tables and chairs.  We will be getting a bid on resealing the tennis courts, but will wait until the road by the tennis courts is repaired.
H.    Vandalism/Unlawful use of private and community property
Chris said it is unlawful for non-residents to use our dumpsters.  Chris said we should not approach anyone who is disposing trash illegally, but should contact the Sheriff’s office.  We will include in the newsletter that we have a security camera monitoring the dumpsters.  Due to an increase in the amount of trash in the dumpsters members discussed an additional pickup per week.  Information will be presented at the next meeting and voted on.
I.       Update of the By-laws
Chris said we are updating the Bylaws with additions that have been approved.  We need to consolidate new additions and add an addendum. We will also organize fee and bond requirements for new home constructions and water/sewer connection fees.
J.       Rentals - POA vs. HOA - Chris discussed difference between POA and HOA and changing from POA to HOA.  Also, discussed rentals:  leases vs. nightly.  Chris said we need to look at the Covenants to make sure we are protected.  Chris will contact the attorney and provide more information at the next meeting.
Architectural - Al Mitchell has had several calls on sheds, and they cannot be over 300 sq ft.  Contact Al concerning POA approval of any additions to your home.  Also, anything over $300 requires a building permit.

L.     Road Report – Chris said that we are gaining on the money in our 5-year plan to add a two-inch cap on Austin.
