OLD BUSINESS
Issues addressed by Douglas County
Maintenance
Mr. O'Connor introduced Duane Farnsworth with Douglas
County Maintenance, to discuss two issues:
1) Irrigation system not working to
six flower boxes on boulevard between Kelsey and
October Place.
2) Replacement of dead pfitzers on boulevard between
Champions Court and Mount Royal.
Mr. Farnsworth presented possible
alternatives for both landscaping problems. After
discussion by the board, the following two motions
were made:
1) To authorize Mr. Farnsworth to
plant six beds in three sections with potentilla,
and rock to match as best as possible, not to exceed
total cost of $1,200. This motion was seconded and
passed 4-2.
2) To phase-in four sections of new pfitzers over
next six months, starting with the worst section
first by July 15, 2001, at $1,250 per section. This
motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Mr. Farnsworth responded to an inquiry
about suds in the pond from time to time, which
are due to pranksters with dishwasher soap.
Ms. Van Horn asked when would the
speed sign by the library be replaced. Mr. Farnsworth
stated this would be completed within the next week.
Mr. O'Connor noted that two trees,
which were a donation from Mr. Farnsworth, had been
planted by the new electric box on the boulevard,
and added we would need to put up two more trees
on the north side to completely hide the box.
Mr. Farnsworth was asked if we are
in any violation with the city for our watering
schedule. He advised the board we were not; that
the allowance is 1.5 inches per week and the scheduling
is set for 1.3.
Plum painting-Mr. O'Connor told the
board he would contact Carl at Collegiate about
painting the plum.
Survey form-The board was advised
that the survey form was ready to be distributed.
Motion to accept the survey form was made, seconded,
and passed 5-1.
Motion to include the survey form
with the June 13, 2001, minutes, place at the library
and clubhouse for pick-up by homeowners, and also
put on the website was made, seconded, and passed
with 1 abstention.
SURVEY FORMS ARE TO BE COMPLETED AND
RETURNED TO THE CLUBHOUSE, FAXED OR MAILED TO THE
BOARD BY AUGUST 1, 2001.
Website-President Kramer reported
that the website has been activated. He stated that
one of the documents to be placed on the website
was the declarations, which comprise 40 pages. After
discussion, it was determined that there would be
a footnote that these declarations do not include
the St. Andrews supplemental annexation, which comprises
an additional 25 pages.
President Kramer indicated there would
be a comment section, where if homeowners have a
complaint, they can easily e-mail either the board
or the property manager. President Kramer remarked
that the website would be evolving over the next
year. The website address is www.plumcreekhoa.com.
NEW BUSINESS

issues
Advised of the merger of the audit firm of Denton

he advised the audit for Year 2000 should be completed
by the third week of July.
Reported the removal of dead stumps
had been completed.
Reviewed the renewal of the management
contract for Pristine Communities, Inc. He noted
for the board that nothing has changed in the contract,

for seven years (i.e., $3 per month per home). The
contract period is for one year.
Motion to rehire Pristine Communities,
Inc. for the period July 1, 2001, through June 30,
2002, was made, seconded, and passed unanimously.

for comments. He will have a draft available for
the board's review at the next board meeting.
Ms. Van Horn raised the following issues
Asked if the vacant lots at Cherry Circle and south
side past entrance to clubhouse have received a
notice to be mowed. Mr. Johnson will contact the
proper party for action.
Noted dead aspen trees and weeds at
2703 Plum Creek Boulevard. This is a new homeowner
and the issue was tabled to the next board meeting.
Raised concern about finding a permanent
meeting place for the board, stressing the importance
of continuity. Discussion was held and Mr. O'Connor
advised that MedVed was not interested in a long-term
commitment. He also confirmed that there would be
a charge of $50 per meeting for use of the clubhouse.
Mr. Johnson offered to contact the club about an
arrangement.

from the car dealership; the lights have improved,
but the loudspeaker still carries to the subdivision.
Inquired about starting a petition.
President Kramer reported on the
following item
Received a call from a homeowner regarding volunteer
community service by her teenage son. She offered
to supervise the work, which could be as much as
30-40 hours per week as needed. President Kramer
will contact the homeowner for a trial period, starting
with painting the pet waste enclosures, and will
provide the paint and brushes for the job.
Mr. Rennecker posed the following
questions
Asked about the status of the landscaping of a new
home on Satsuma. Mr. O'Connor advised it was due

days to provide approved landscaping plan.

with a tracking list for action items, and requested
that copies of all letters and follow up results
be included in the board packet.
Asked about Casablanca houses on Mount
Royal Drive. Mr. O'Connor advised the roof was done
at 2625, but the builder continues to have crew-related
problems. The lot has been graded at 2635, and Mr.
O'Connor will ask Peter Rinehart when the Certificate
of Occupancy will be issued.
Noted that adjoining lot is full of
debris. Mr. O'Connor stated there are actually two
more sites, but no current plans to build.
Additional issue discussed
Report on Trimark and St. Andrews Association May
24 board meeting was given by homeowners present.
Homeowners at the May 24 meeting initially chose
to elect only one homeowner to the board, Ron Terburg,
leaving two of the Trimark board members in place
until homeowners are provided with an audit, which
is pending. Homeowners expressed concern about the
existing deficit and were not given satisfaction
as to how it will be covered. The board will invite
Mr. Terburg to the next master association board
meeting.
