a request to install a French drain at 7631 Zircon, and approved a request to
clean and re-paint the rear deck at 7715 Zircon.
The Board
considered the issue of a possible request to remove a rear fence, and agreed
rear fences are the owner’s responsibility, but require a request to the Board
for permission to remove, as they are on the common property.

consider the adoption of a policy on the issue.
The Board agreed to respond to requests as they come in.
The Board
considered the issue of maintenance of the back decks and agreed to distribute
information to the membership on this issue, pending adoption of a policy on
the matter.
The Board
considered the current state of a neighborhood behavior alert, the sprinkler
schedule, the status of the RFP for landscaping, and agreed to send out the
Smart Watering notice to the membership with the June 12 Board minutes. The Board requests that members notify the
NWP office if sprinkler problems are found.
The Board
reviewed the self-assessment against the Board-adopted 2016 goals and adopted,
on motion by Dilworth and second by McDonald, a set of goals for 2017, to be
sent to the membership.
Karch
reported on a theft of tools and other items from the bed and cab of a pickup
parked in the member’s driveway.
Following Board discussion, it was agreed to urge members to be sure to
lock their doors and vehicles, and report any suspicious behavior in the
neighborhood and thefts to the police.
Karch
reported that the Lakewood sales tax has been increased to 9.9%, which will
have an effect on purchases of goods and services by the association.

considered possible further action on mailbox stands, water shut-off valves,
and chimney caps.
