DETERMINATION OF QUORUM

A quorum of Board members was announced by Bart Jones and the meeting was called to order at 6:30pm.

HOMEOWNER FORUM

Al,(homeowner living on Willow Pond), came to speak about extending the walkway all the way around the lake.  He is basing his request on it being a safety issue for kids riding bikes around the lake and having to hop off the trail and on to the streets to go all the way around it. It was also brought up that trucks were going down Hobbs Rd. to the new Sedona subdivision and were dangerous to our kids heading to and from school that way. Further mention was made of the fact that the MUD actually owns the lake and that there was camera in Loon Park pointing at the ground.

The board responded to the request for the trail around Willow by stating that this discussion has been had multiple times in the past and that the HOA possibly does not own (or own enough of) the land between the lake and the homeowners along Brittany Colony to construct a trail.  The homeowner responded back that there was a trail where all the other houses along Siskin and Longspur were.
