September 13, 2020 – Annual Meeting and Potluck, 4-6pm (rain date Sep 20, 2020) on Maplewood - Treasurers Report – $720 in dues were received during the annual meeting and an additional $180 to support the cost of the deed restrictions renewal process. Providing return envelopes in the newsletter mailing has a noticeable positive impact on dues income. $3700 is our current rough balance.
- The board discussed the tree report made at the annual meeting. Late fall annual tree replacement costs are still unknown; we are hopeful that the City will be able to cost-share again this year.
- The board discussed the Deed Restrictions amendment and renewal process. We agreed to identify the most challenging properties and work on them first while also hosting signing parties and seeking other signers. The group reviewed all the properties to assess which properties might require extra effort. Jennifer Castner will host a signing party on Saturday, Nov 9, time TBA with two notaries depending on anticipated demand.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:06.
