Beetle Buster training is scheduled for May 22. So far, four inspections
have been done this year. PBH so far is in good shape.

problems with postal system.

steep properties on lower Timber Lane. This will complete about 50% of the
current Timber Lane fire mitigation Project.

Proposing negative budget. Extra expenses will be covered by prior year's
reserves. Approved, seconded, motion passed.
Discussion regarding
HOA dues: for
2006 only 61% of PBH homeowners paid dues.
Ideas:
·
Instead of
increasing dues campaign, have more people contribute.
·
Start
supporter level program. e.g. President club for $xxx contribution.
·
Increase
dues to $100.
·
Have a
“dues” drive.
·
Add article
to Pine Brook Press about dues and how they are being used.
The meeting
was adjourned at 8:15 pm.
The “Scary
Fire Season Ahead” presentation by BMFPD John Benson and Suzanne Adams
followed the HOA business meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
