Minutes of Aug. 14, 2000 meeting review and approved.

FINANCIAL REPORT
August financials were reviewed and approved.

MANAGEMENT
Signs:
City of Gilbert representative advises that Terrace is a thru street and because there is a stop sign on Rochester Dr., they will not-put one on Terrace at this time.

Regarding Constellation Way and Santa Rosa, they will not put a "Dead End" sign at this end because there is an outlet at E.Wilibrae and that street sign already has a "dead end" sign on it indicating Constellation Way.

The City of Gilbert representative will be contacted regarding "replacing" a stop sign on the west side of Terrace.

Landscaping:
Advise landscape company that more than 30 trees are down. Find out if trees would do better with three stakes vs. two and if metal can't be used instead of wood. Landscape company will be instructed to change out the flowers at the monuments. Vinca look bad and new plants/flowers can't be too tall.

Lighting:
One more company will be submitting a bid for electric and solar lighting. Solar is becoming more affordable but there is no way to protect the collectors from vandalism without placing them on a pole, which becomes an esthetic issue. There is no power to tap into that is close to the monument signs so electric will be quite expensive.

Michelle Retention:
Owner of adjacent farmland has been contacted regarding damage to Tone property. Awaiting a response.

Miscellaneous:
SRP will be contacted regarding street lights that are out. Nancy will inspect and call management with light pole numbers. Research who installed and maintains the lights.

Find out-when refunds are due from SRP and Town of Gilbert.

Weeds in canal are getting tall again. Contact Water District and find out when they will be addressed again.

Social Committee presented-a proposal and estimated budget for activities to be considered. Suggestion of events includes community garage sales; Fall carnival; Easter activity. A cover charge could be considered to help offset expenses. The board agreed to consider the committee?s proposal.

A Landscape/Architectural Committee has been appointed to act in an "advisory" capacity to the board. Currently consists of six members. Architectural submittals will be forward to the committee and board for review but board will make final decisions.

Architectural requests: Three requests were reviewed.

Next meeting will be Monday, October 9, 2000. Location has not been determined.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
