The meeting was called to order at 2:05 PM. Present were C.M. Nutt, Joy Paxton,
and David Bell.

2. Old Business:
a. May 2009 Minutes. The minutes for the May 2009 board meeting were
approved.
b. Overdue Maintenance Fees. Efforts to contact property owners in arrears
on 2009 maintenance were reviewed.
c. Emergency Notification System. The board will send a letter or email to
all current residents (not all property owners) requesting that they voluntarily
submit an emergency phone number to the BOD for use in developing an
Emergency Notification System. It is strictly on a volunteer basis and will
only be used in cases of an emergency. Bonnie Collier will coordinate the
information and will put the data on a spreadsheet for BOD members. After
the current info has been updated, a second reminder will be sent with a
deadline of September 1 if people want to be included on the Emergency
Notification System.
d. Broadband Internet Service. PV Co (Manor, TX) has been contacted by
several property owners and the board regarding availability of broadband
service in the subdivision. Like LiveAir, PV Co has indicated that providing
service to this subdivision is particularly challenging because of the terrain
and tall trees. The board is continuing dialog with both PV Co and LiveAir in
hopes of finding a solution to this problem.

The board has become aware that FCC directives prohibit neighborhood
restrictions that will restrict interfere with property owner reception of internet
service. Accordingly, the board will accommodate the use of antennas
necessary for reception of internet service. Both PV Co and LiveAir have
been made aware of this. It is anticipated that this will greatly facilitate
wireless service to the subdivision.
e. Clean-up Day. The board discussed alternatives for scheduling and
organizing a clean-up effort for subdivision streets in late June or July. The
consensus is that property owners, with notification and encouragement from
the board, should coordinate among themselves to clean up the streets on
which they live.

complete fulfill the duties as Secretary/Treasurer. Efforts will continue to
identify volunteers to begin service in 2010.
g. Fall Meeting. The Fall Meeting will be held on either 3 October or 24
October depending on facility availability.

a. Park Usage. It has been suggested that the board consider providing
portable toilets for the park during the summer months in order to make the
park more attractive for use by families and children. The board was in
agreement that this should be done. Additionally, steps are being taken to
repair the basketball goals.
b. New Welcome Booklet. The new welcome booklet will be printed in
booklet form. It is at the publishers and should be available soon.
c. Welcome Committee Update. Welcome baskets are scheduled for delivery
to several new residents.

disposing of brush and tree limbs.
