The meeting was called to order at 7:45 p.m. by Bill Cook.  John & Tom were not present.

Old Business:

1. Bill created and delivered notice to inform homeowners of upcoming annual cluster meeting.

New Business:  (

1.      Linda provided information on the final repaving bid submitted by Brooks Brothers.  The three bids, (K&K Paving, Dominion Paving & Brooks Brothers) were discussed and evaluated with the intention of awarding the contract to repave Lakewinds II.

2.      After a lengthy discussion, a motion was made and passed to award the paving contract to Brooks Brothers and to allow Linda the latitude to commit up to $70K of Cluster assessment and reserve monies to accomplish paving; additional drains under walkways if required, additional curb work and staining curb repairs.  The repaving is expected to begin within the next few months.

3.      The final discussion of the evening focused on developing the July 2003 – 2004 budget for the annual cluster meeting.  After reviewing the remaining monies from the 2002-2003 budget and based on the anticipated expenses, three motions were made and passed:

a.       The first is to allow the grounds manager to inquire and negotiate a three year contract to clean the carport gutters.  Providing the rates remained consistent over three years.

b.       Coordinate with Rain Dance Roofing and Remodeling to repair cluster carports.  The budgeted cost is not to exceed $10K per year.  This effort will be subject to annual review and approval.  The carport repair was initially planned to begin last year however the board elected to delay the effort an additional year to facilitate accomplishing the repaving effort.

c.       Abate the current special assessment of $80 for repaving and maintain the cluster dues at $300 per quarter per household.

Next meeting:  Cluster Annual Meeting, Tuesday 13 May 2003 at 7:00 pm in the Langston Hughes School cafeteria.
