Dave lead a discussion about ways to increase revenue and reduce expenses. In the September 14, 2017 board meeting there were four examples for the board to review.

At the annual Village A meeting in November the residents will be included in the discussion about increasing revenue for the 2018 budget.
Master HOA Report: Linda Hitt shared that the post office has a web site which you can see exactly what mail will be delivered to your home that very day. Web site address is USPS.gov. There will be a neighborhood social tonight at the club house. The police department encourages such events as we meet more ofour neighbors. They have found it cuts down on suspicion and crime.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Pools: Wayne says pools are being maintained well. Items in need of repair on hand rails and gates are being worked on. Lora thanked Wayne for taking on the task of trouble shooting and then repairing the solar system. It is now in perfect shape and doing its correct job.

She said Land Tamers will come out promptly to repair the leak. The winter rye has taken hold and looks lovely.

This would not affect the trees or plants as they are watered on a separate system.
