Old Business:

• Property Line between Roudebush Woods and the Meadows: letter has been drafted and will be sent out this week.
• Playground equipment painting quotes:The question arose in conversation with one bidder as to exactly what has to be repainted. We decided that it was just the areas that had serious rust.
• Information packets for neighbors: Packets were distributed on May 19.
• Deed for Woods update:Thompson is almost ready to transfer the deed to Roudebush Woods.

• Architecture: No Report but summary of actions was distributed.
• Landscape: No members
• Social: No members
• Pool:
  • Pool will open Saturday, May 26 at 10:00
  • Pool passes will be distributed between 10:00 and 11:00 on May 26 and also on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of June between 10:00 and 11:00
  • The work on the pool is progressing and the pool will be ready in time. The surface has been cleaned and resurfaced. The pool is now being filled. Steve has repaired all but one window in the screened porch. He needs to purchase more material for the final window. He suggests that we completely replace the screen door with a new one. All but two of the umbrellas are usable for the time being. Thompson has agreed to share in the cost of this refurbishing work.
  • Bob will learn how to manage the card reader. Ray has a spreadsheet that correlates the lot number with the distributed cards and he is to send the file to Bob.
  • If any of the residents of either the Woods or the Farms notices anything amiss with the pool, they should first contact DJ's by telephone at 445-7317. They can subsequently contact the board at board@roudebushwoods.org saying that they had done so, stating when they called and what the problem was. This way, the board can check that action was taken.
  • DJ's (the pool contractor) has agreed to all the amendments that we included with the contract.
  • The pool heater should be able to raise the temperature by 10 degrees. We will attempt measure it once the pool is filled. The procedure will be to measure the difference in input vs output temperature.

• Appointment of Donna Zenthoefer to Board: Donna was unanimously approved to be a board member. Rob will contact her and provide here with information she needs.
• Ponds: The three ponds have been treated for algae. Hank Thompson presented a quote on the purchase and installation of a pond fountain for the pond near the pool. The initial cost would be around $7000 to purchase the pump, run the electrical wiring, and perform the installation. There would be annual cost of about $400 to maintain the fountain and remove it in the winter. Also, the annual cost of electricy would be around $1000. After all that, this would not cure the problem of algae growth because not enough of the water would be recirculated. The decision was made to not pursue this.
• Landscape improvements: A discussion was held on what might be in terms of short term and long term improvements for the pond areas and the woods so that they might be more conducive to recreation and gatherings. Although there have been presented a lot of good ideas of what might be done, we decided to not do anything until a landscape committee could draw up some plans and present some cost estimates. This makes the need for rebuilding the landscape committee all the more urgent. There is a missing tree on the north end of the playground. We decided to simply plant grass in the area for the time being pending plans from the landscape committee. Rob volunteered to plant grass and to water it. He will be reimbursed for any expenses.
• Tax rebate As reported in the last minutes, Roudebush Woods will no longer be assessed property taxes on the common areas. Hank Thompson has learned that we may be able to recover the taxes paid the last two years. We decided to hire a tax consultant who is familiar with this process. They will be paid 50% of what is recovered.
