The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by LLA president Jim Reed. LLA board members in attendance were: Mr. Reed, Alan Dinkelacker, Jerry Dorsey, Andrew Twillman and Todd Young.

Absent were: Grant Sheehan.

Also present were: GM Stephen Hembree; AGM/ECC Larry Brown; Community Resource Manager Joy Gurley.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT- no report was given.

The minutes of the March 17 meeting were approved as written.

• ECC Vinyl Siding requirements— Mr. Brown explained that the ECC had not forwarded its recommendation on the matter to the LLA board for approval, which needed to be done because the 1998 guidelines specifically say that vinyl siding is not permitted. He explained that the only change was in the specifications related to the vinyl siding. Because manufacturers change their product lines nearly every year, the object was to generalize the specifications as to thickness, texture and warranty time frames on vinyl siding and then allow the ECC members to monitor the use of it on a case by case basis. Mr. Reed asked if any of what was presented to the board was a departure from what the ECC has been doing. Mr. Brown said it was not a departure. The question was asked whether what had already been approved and put onto homes in the PUD would have to remove/change what they have installed. Mr. Brown said that no one would be required to change what they have already installed.

MOTION: LLA director Dinkelacker made a motion to approve the use of vinyl siding in the PUD,with types of vinyl siding and specifications to be monitored by the ECC. The motion was seconded by director Twillman. The board voted 5-0 in favor of the motion.

• New Builder Packet Update— Mr. Brown told the board that they will most likely be hearing from builders and others because he intends to enforce the current regulations that relate to builders and building in Eaglehead and that he intends to hold them to a higher standard regarding the environment than has been done in the past.

• Covenant Enforcement- trailers/RVs— Mr. Brown said that he has received a dozen or so complaints of late about RVs and trailers parked on the streets or in driveways. He said he intends to enforce the covenants, as written, on this matter. LLA director Dinkelacker asked what the latest information was on getting a parcel to create a storage area for RVs/trailers. Mr. Hembree said that not much progress has been made on the matter.

Director Sheehan had sent in questions about the ECC for Mr. Dinkelacker to read and get answers from Mr. Brown. The first question was whether there was anything in the covenants about a height restriction on fences. Mr. Brown said a height restriction is in the covenants. The second question asked if there was anything in the covenants regarding members intruding onto LLA property. Mr. Brown said that the covenants prohibit residents from intruding onto LLA property with fencing, etc. The third question was whether any additional EEC approval/non-aproval items needed to be included in the ECC guidelines. Mr. Brown said that it was best to leave that to time and as needs are identified the subjects would be brought before the ECC and board.

Director Dorsey asked about whether on-street parking was prohibited in the covenants. Mr. Brown said that on-street parking was not permitted and that homeowners are required to provide at least two parking spaces.

Finance Committee— LLA treasurer Young said that the committee has a new member and that he felt the person was going to be a good addition to the committee. He said the committee approved the final budget recently and that auditors had been in this month. He said the board should expect a draft and possibly a final version of the auditor’s report at the annual meeting. After reviewing the monthly financial statement he said the numbers could change depending upon any changes made by the auditor.

Trailblazers Committee— Chairperson John Shuey said that the committee was holding a "working" party on Saturday, April 12 at 1 p.m.

Social Committee— Committee liaison LLA director Twillman reminded everyone of the egg hunt on April 12.

Westwinds Tot Lot— LLA director Twillman spoke for the Westwinds Tot Lot Committee. He reviewed the meetings and communications efforts made by the committee to inform the residents of that village about the issue. At the March 19 Westwinds HOA annual meeting, a non-binding referendum vote on the issue had been conducted and 126 people voted, he said. Of that number 76 voted for Pond Fountain Court as the location of a tot lot and installation of a basketball court near the Westwinds pool and 34 votes were for placing the tot lot by the pool. Following that vote, the WW HOA set aside $2,000 to do the basketball court and $15,000 to match the LLA contribution that had been agreed to in a December meeting.

Director Young asked that those who were opposed to the tot lot be given a chance to speak. Doris Teti and another Westwinds resident said they felt the way the ballot was written was not fair because some of the options were done in combination and if you wanted to vote for one thing but were against the other a vote could not be cast to reflect that. Another Westwinds resident in attendance said that he had a petition with 67 names of residents who were against the Pond Fountain tot lot location. Westwinds resident John Snow said that the petition was not sent to everyone and therefore was not fair and that all actions on getting opinions should be done equally and fairly. Mr. Twillman said the tot committee sent referendums and notices to all residents and followed all the stipulations that the LLA and WW HOA boards asked of them. Director Dinkelacker asked whether the WW HOA had any issues with the way the referendum was handled and tot lot committee member Christie Sherwood said they did not.

MOTION: Director Twillman made a motion that the board approve using the $15,000 to pay for the tot lot and the basketball court and to change the use of the common property for those purposes. The motion was seconded by director Dinkelacker. The board voted in favor of the motion 4-2. Director Sheehand had provided a proxy vote to director Dinkelacker to vote in favor of the motion.

Employee Policy Guidelines— GM Hembree said that the staff was recommending approval but that he had sent it to the attorney for review and that there were additions to be made to the policy text. The board decided to wait to vote on the policy until the attorney’s changes had been incorporated.

Request for Use:

• Daybreak Community Church will be doing a summer camp (7th year) at Coldstream pool area from July 21-25.

• LLA president Reed asked that Cub Scout Pack 628 record the measurements of the fish caught in its May 18 derby and send it to the LLA.

May 19 Board Meeting— the board decided to not conduct a regular business meeting on the Monday following the annual meeting.

Turf Applications— GM Hembree said that Classic Landscaping would soon begin herbicide applications on the common grounds. The board asked that the timeframe be posted on the web site.

• Westwinds resident John Snow reported that he and Charlotte Dusold had attended a meeting in Annapolis for lake managers and that it was informative. He said he was preparing an ESRI Conservation Program Resources grant. Mr. Reed pointed out that Louis Henderson, a neighbor of his, is a physicist who could be very helpful with doing the lake contours data.

• Aspen resident Kathy Brown asked about changing the covenants to enforce the practice of scooping up after dogs.

• Lisa Rogers, a Meadows resident and a volunteer on the redesign of the LLA web site, reported that the web site has received more than 500 hits during the month of March.

Director Dinkelacker made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by director Twillman. The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
