 Old Business:

1. Grounds Report: Installation of the new rain gutters on the covered parking areas appears to be progressing normally.
2. Treasury Report: Mary Medlin and Gaylon Swanson presented the details of last year’s operations.  All owners except one are current, and that owner has paid back dues and penalties for FY 2001-2002 and partial dues for FY 2003-04.  Garnishment proceedings have started for the remainder of FY 2004 and all of 2005, including dues, interest and penalties.  The treasury is in balance and the Contingency Fund is in good condition. The Board agreed to keep dues assessment the same for FY 2005 as 2004. 
   
   The FY 2004-2005 budget results will be posted on the Web site.
3.  Correspondence continues about the parking space assignment problem. No final resolution has been decided.
4. The cluster social event idea seems to have faded for lack of support. Mary Medlin will see if there is interest in having an uncomplicated social gathering during the Christmas season.

New Business:

1. The Design Review Board has approved the HardiPlank siding material for use in the Cluster.  Thanks to Leon Bernal for carrying this through. 
2. The Reston Association has proposed a number of cluster covenant changes, which will affect the way we handle cluster affairs.  A summary of these changes has been posted on the Lakewinds Web site, and the full text of the proposal is posted on the Reston Association Web site.  These changes will be discussed at the next Board meeting.  All are invited to attend.
3. Charlie asked Jim Naughton to study the pros and cons of incorporating Lakewinds-II cluster as a business and report at the next Board meeting. 
4. Mary Medlin will research our present Virginia State filing status and report at the next meeting.
5. Mary Medlin finished the bank authorization form for signatures to Cluster checks.  The board agreed that two signatures are required for large expenditures.
6. John Newcomb will find out the details of installing a wide-angle mirror at the cluster entrance, and re-study the need for this mirror now that the no-parking slot on the left side of the entrance has been extended by 25 feet.

  Next meeting:
