1. The annual meeting of Catalina Oaks Home Owners’ Association was held at the Rockridge Community Center. The President, Elaine Geyer, called it to order Saturday January 24, 2009 at 10:00 AM.
2. An accounting summary was presented by Jean Kay. A hand written summary (12/31/08) and a handwritten Catalina Oaks Monthly Balance Sheet was provided at the meeting. It was converted to an excel format and is included, for your review.
There are a few members who have not paid dues. Jean has sent notes requesting payment. Another friendly letter will be sent requesting payment. If she does not get a response then she will request legal send out appropriate correspondence to resolve the issue, and add legal fees to the amount due.
3. Minutes – Meeting minutes, old and new, are posted on the blogspot.
4. 2009 Board – A request was put to the attendees regarding serving on the board. No volunteers came forth so the existing board will stany in place. We are always looking for board volunteers so please get involved.
5. Catalina Oaks Beautification - New landscaping has been addressed in past meetings. A proposal was provided from Paradise Landscaping, which is included in the blog. Jutta and Jean discussed the package and presented sketches and a cost breakdown with those present. Some concerns were brought up regarding tree height and the vines (creeping fig) that will climb the walls. Jutta also mentioned she thought we should change the background color (black) of our signs. She will work that out with Dick.
It was also recommended that we get 2 additional proposals to validate costs. Jutta will get another bid from another nursery. Bob will request a bid from Everything Outdoors. Both packages will be given to Elaine and a decision will be made. The plan is to get the Beatification Project started end of March. Jutta Rosenburg is in charge of the committee.
6. The Berm and the Swale – Last year we received a notice fro the St Johns Water Management District that we had a few issues that needed attention. In the South East corner of the development they (SJWMD) identified an area they called a breach. Said area has been filled in and sod placed on top of it. Item closed.
We anticipate and expect some homeowners on the south side of the property may notice an increase in water levels during the rainy season. The building permit and 25’ easement were put into place from the start of development (see http://catalinaoaksdeedrestrictions.blogspot.com/ for details).
7. Parking – It was noted that a few residents are parking on the lawns for extended periods of time, which is a violation of the restrictions. Those individuals will be notified about the Parking policy. In general you are suppose to park in your garage or in your driveway, not on the grass. Some leeway is allowed on Special Occasions and most of us will look the other way for an evening or daytime party, occasionally. Just note that the grass lawn is not a designated long-term parking spot. For more on the Deed Restrictions see http://catalinaoaksdeedrestrictions.blogspot.com.
8. County Water and color painting – It seems there are a few places where there may be leaks from broken or old county water pipes in our community as some residents noted paint marks (red, green, white, blue) on the grass and also on the street asphalt in a few locations.
