Vice-President Update
All committees need to send Michelle Coss updates for the newsletter, which will be distributed within the next month or so. It will likely be the last newsletter of the year.

Treasurer’s Report
14 families have not paid their dues. The “final notice” letters were sent out 2 weeks ago to those who haven’t paid, informing the homeowners that a lien will be filed by the end of August if the dues have not been paid.
Currently the HNHA checking account balance is $20,200. Approximately $6,000 went toward landscaping since the last meeting.
Emily will send Mary Zangerle the 2006 Budget so she can post it on the website.
A discussion was held regarding imposing a late fee for delinquent association fees, along with possible incentives for those who pay early. This discussion will continue and will need more information regarding how this could be done (i.e. a lawyer may be consulted regarding the legality of imposing a late fee, etc.)
Landscape Committee Report
Need to notify homeowners who aren’t in compliance with yard/landscape restrictions per the Deed Restrictions. It was recommended that Joe Vacarri drive the neighborhood and send the attached letter (see attached).
Board would need to agree and vote on the neighbors who are not in compliance and then the letter with the Deed Restrictions would be sent. It was recommended the letter list specific steps the homeowner needs to address.
Service Berry at Jacana entrance is dead. It will cost approximately $150 to replace and it is preferred to replace it in the September (Fall) timeframe.
A flyer will be sent out, within the next month, for lawn aeration at a discounted price.
