Opening: Board members present: Maggie McGuire, President; Joel Peterson, Vice President; Dana Greenlee, Secretary/Treasurer

Old Business

1. CLICK Cable
Continuing: Joel will follow up with Click Networks regarding the process for cable line installation.

2. Storm Drain Cleaning
Decision: Dana will contact Econovac to schedule a mid-March storm drain inspection which will dictate future cleaning.

2. Street Lights
Dana reported that Tacoma Power says it would cost $250 to send crew to inspect & service street lights. They do not supply bulbs & suggested we use an independent electrical contractor. Dana has contacted a contractor to estimate price.
Decision: Dana will check with Association Mgmt. on the possibility that there is a rental arrangement with Tacoma Power and how that would impact the cost.


II. New Business

1. Vintage’s Positive Reputation
Board discussed making community aware of the low-cost service Vintage is receiving from Association Management, our HOA management firm headed by Lianna Collinge.
Decision: Board will share at next general meeting that A.M.’s rate for HOA management is $12/home per month. For Vintage, that would be $588/mo. Lianna continues to offer her services to us at $150. Board will also alert community, through the website, about several realtors stating that Vintage is a ‘hot ticket’. We can be proud of our community and will continue to enhance it through everyone’s participation. Dana will add text to the website from a recent realtor mailing that praises the community.

2. Westgate Retention Pond
Board discussed progress on delineating the Westgate/Vintage share of retention pond maintenance.
Decision: Maggie will consult with Association Mgmt. for direction.

3. PC-NET – Pierce County Neighborhood Emergency Team & Vintage
Maggie reported on the community meeting on Feb. 5 about safety plan and crime/theft prevention. Car and mailbox vandalism are typical crimes in communities. There may be an opportunity to get Neighborhood Watch signs and stickers for community windows.
Decision: Maggie will share handout tips to Dana to add to the website.

4. Dog Issues
Board discussed that, while there is a leash law in University Place, which applies to Vintage, there is no law requiring the pick up and disposal of pet waste.

5. “No Outlet/Dead End” Street Sign
Board discussed non-resident traffic in Vintage.
Decision: Joel will check if there is a sign at the entrance indicating there is no outlet and explore possibilities of acquiring a sign.

6. Yard Completion Process
Board discussed process and status of ACC & CC&R compliance for both backyard completion and front yard upkeep standards.
Decision: Joel will invite ACC Chair to attend next Board meeting March 7. Maggie will follow up on completion dates on any pending work.
