I. Call to Order and Welcome:

Kevin Semler introduced our newest family in the neighborhood, George and Helen Samuelson.

II. Old Business: Kevin Semler

1. We have a preliminary website set up for Vintage homeowners. The site address is vintageup.com. Rob and Dana Greenlee have put it together and are looking for our suggestions on what we would like to see on the site. A few ideas are posting the neighborhood rooster with an access code that only residents will know, also posting our quarterly newsletter and community CC&R’s. We can set up an address for the site that homeowners can e-mail the board members directly. Rob and Dana would like you to call or e-mail them with suggestions, articles or pictures that you would like to see on the web.
E-mail to robg@webtalkguys.com or dana@webtalkguys.com.

2. Lianna brought a printout for us to look at regarding procedures we will follow for delinquent homeowner assessments. Starting with next years assessments we will begin to charge a late fee. A copy of this printout will be attached to these minutes.

III. New Business: Kevin Semler & Maggie McGuire

1. The nominations for the new board members were as follows:

President - Steve Cole
Vice President - Betty Simpson
Sec/Treas - Dana Greenlee

The vote was unanimous to accept all the nominations. We also have new chairs for our committees:

ACC Chairperson - Jerry Simpson, members Greg McGuire and Scott Kelly.
Community Affairs Co- Chairpersons - Wendy Wheeler and Maria Casella.
Grounds Maintenance Committee - Tom Palmer

2. Maggie McGuire has made contact with a board member from the Westgate housing development below us. They are very eager to meet with us and discuss shared issues but they are new and need a little more time to develop as a homeowners association.

3. Several of our street lights are not working properly. We have contacted Potelco about repairing the lights. This should cost approximately $100.00 per hour and several lights can be fixed in one hour.

4. The storm drains are scheduled to be cleaned out soon. The question was raised on whether this is really needed each year. Lianna suggested we find out the quantity that was removed last year and base our decision on that. She also said it was best to be on the safe side and have it done each year so that we have documentation in the event that the City of University Place takes over our streets.

5. We discussed the CC&R that deals with dog barking. Our options are sending a letter, visiting the homeowner, calling the human society, or assessing fines for the barking.

IV. Financial Report: Lianna Collinge

1. As of Sept. 27th, 2001 our balances are as follows:

2. Sandi Semler spoke if the success of the Fourth of July party and the National Night Out Barbecue. She also reminded us of the upcoming cookie exchange in December. More information will be forthcoming.

VI. Open Forum

1. Dave MacMillan shared a “Children at Play sign he purchased. It is a hard plastic triangular sign that has velcro on it, which allows it to attach around a sign or street light. He suggested we purchase more of these to place around the neighborhood. The company is - Same Day Sign, 10120 S.W. Nimbus Ave. Suite C-3, Portland Oregon 97223. The phone # is 888-322-7446.
