COVID-19 hamperedo ur ability to function as we did in previous years. The fence maintenanceprogram did continue but the fence contractor who has been reliable in previousyears starting to fall behind on the fence maintenance program, and as a result,the work was not completed. But the contractor was only paid for the workcompleted. We are currently seeking bids for a new fence maintenancecontractor.
A reminder tohomeowners that the Board is not to be considered policemen. Due to limitedresources and time constraints as well as lack of volunteers, we can only reactto concerns as they arise. One concern was the condition and the maintenance ofthe boulevards. We are limited in whatwe can do given that these boulevards are the city’s property. We are notallowed to spray chemicals or maintain these boulevards. We have appliedpressure on the city to maintain them with limited success, but we willcontinue to apply pressure.
Regarding theaffordable housing development in Henderson Park. Tim Cartmell did a webinarfor the community to answer questions and concerns. There are no certaintiesaround the specifics of this project. As we hear more, we will update the homeowners.

- Budget for 2021:
o Increasedprovision for the following: $700 for meetings
o Webpageservices: budget for 2021 increased to$10,000 due to increased costs in this area.
o Fence work: mayneed an additional $2,000 to finish last year’s work
o Reserve Fund:open discussion from the floor – Luther Haave and Greg Olson mentioned we needto get a new engineering study done which can consider the years’ worth ofannual fence maintenance, which the current study/report (and currentengineering firm) does not take into account. Looking for a new engineeringfirm to do a new study.
Riad agreed with this strategy as ERHA is notgetting the benefit from costs incurred to maintain the fences. The reservefund study assumes a replacement value with zero maintenance. The goal of thenew study should quantify the maintenance performed over the years and readjustthe figures regarding costs and replacement timelines (life expectancies) withrespect to these assets. Then we can budget appropriately for any shortfalls orsurpluses.
§ Timeline for this item most likely aiming for 2022 hence will bein 2022 budget.
