Betty reported her meeting with Bob Walters/Human Society was rescheduled. She plans to learn the Human Society suggestions for a community standard pertaining to pets.

Dana prepared a draft “Resolutions to Public Nuisance Policy” from her research of other HOA resolutions on matter. The draft covers standards for topics such as Garbage & recycling containers, noise, parking and pets.

Decision: Steve will contact Tucci and Sons, original development project manager who put in storm drain system, to find out any background.
