V.
New
Business
Discussion of a need
for dues increase to cover upcoming special projects ended with the
need for special projects to be brought to the HOA so financial
assessment can be done versus a dues increase to cover unknown
projects.
It was brought up
that several homeowners are having cabinet problems. It was decided
that this would be communicated to the community and we would
approach Chaffey as a group.
There is a desire
among several members to re-activate the Safety Committee specific
to speeding cars particularly along 205thPL NE. Rick Eames
volunteered to organize this committee with Jim LeValley as the
officer on the committee. It was brought to our attention that
whenever you see someone speeding/driving recklessly through our
neighborhood or any neighborhood, the Sammamish Police have
recommended you call 911 immediately and give them your location and
make of the car. They will dispatch a police car already in the
area and make an effort to find the unsafe driver.
The meeting
adjourned at 9pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Pam Brown
SWHOA Secretary
