Board Meeting Minutes – May 7, 2020
I. The meeting was called to order at 4:10 pm. The meeting was a “Zoom” videoconference due to Coronavirus
concerns. Those present included Vickie Traxler, Tori Winters, Ellen Gail and Dave Brause. Joel Yust from All
Property Services was also in attendance. Devin Detwiler joined a few minutes late due to technical
difficulties.
II. Input from property owners: We received an email from John and Dolly Bennett who own Unit 15
complaining about the condition of the landscaping. Vickie will meet with them to determine how we can
address their concerns. However, it was determined that the landscapers have not mowed or clean up
much lately as they were not working for the month of April due to the coronavirus.
III. Financial review – Special Assessment – We have collected only two assessment payments. We need
everyone to pay in order to have enough money to pave the parking lot. Tori proposed that Board Members
consider paying their monthly dues in advance if needed to help pay for the parking lot paving.
Action Item: Joel to resend assessment notices with a corrected due date of June 30, 2020.
Action Item: Joel to ask lawyer about progress on litigation with Unit 23.
IV. Old Business:
A. Manager’s Report: Delinquent Accounts& Tax Liens, Caulking, Unit 1 Repairs, Siding Damage Unit
21 & 22
Joel reported that Unit 1 repairs were not made due to the corona virus. Devin asked about caulking and
Joel will pursue. Devin asked that Joel check into whether we would receive a credit for no work being
done by the landscapers in April. Joel asked about cleaning spider webs but the Board decided that the
Parking Lot Project is our highest priority and that all requests for spending funds would be evaluated
against whether we have enough funds for the parking lot project first.
Action Item: Joel to take off the spigot locks and reschedule repairs for Unit 1.
Action Item: Joel to make sure exterior door windows are caulked.
B. Parking Lot Repaving – The Board decided that the parking lot paving dates should be mid-September
(September 15 or 21) in order to have enough funds to pay for it.
Action Item: Vickie and Joel will talk to Mario Lopez at Estes Valley Paving to set the dates and see if
there might be any reduction in price for oil prices falling.

Greening Up walked around the buildings. Tom reviewed the problems with the irrigation system and

debilitating. There were a lot of storage and BBQ violations on back patios. We also discussed modifying
