Treasurer's report: [edit] Attached.

Landscaping: Renee Edel's report (attached) was reviewed and discussed. Only the items that required a decision are discussed in these minutes.The first item on Renee's report  suggested we treat all the trees and that the HOA should obtain cost quotes in the early spring. We'll either hire someone to spray the trees or we'll ask for volunteers to do the spraying. Randy made a motion to obtain cost quotes in the early spring to spray the trees and Don seconded the motion.

Item #2 on Renee's list: Renee will write a description of the landscaping work needed so we can obtain bids. Renee will ask Todd for a quote and Teri is to ask some other landscapers for quotes.

Item #4 on Renee's list: Nancy proposed looking into grub treatment to determine whether it needs to be done yearly. She said if it is to be done yearly, it should be done in June and in the fall. Randy will start a new budget line item for this.

Item #5: Sandy will call the Town of Palisade to ask if they will take care of the cracks in the road. She will also ask if the Town would address the alleys.

Item #6: It was decided we will wait until the spring (2015) to replace dead shrubs. We agreed at the June 2014 meeting to budget $400 plus labor for this work. 

Item #8: Randy will ask Renee to purchase a combination lock for the pump house.
