Financial: Jay Harter asked for clarification concerning 2 charges to Franklin Village in April. First a charge of $670 from Horn Plumbing. The charge was for fixing a sewer pipe clog at 586. The pipe was clogged with roots. The estimate for completing the fix is in excess of $4000. The cost will be split with the home owner. Second was a charge for $900 to replace the security control panel at 566. Master Association is investigating replacements for the security panels. Margaret will contact Mark Fraser about the replacements. Security failures are supposed to be reported to council, the list of council members needs to be updated.
$10,600 was received from home sales so far this year.
606 asked about skylights when roofs are replaced. Bachmann had missed 606, they had stopped at 605.
606 was given Bachmann’s contact information.
Jay met with our bank concerning early withdrawals to cover roof replacement. They will cost $6600 but the interest we received will cover it.
Discussion of roof replacement costs and what is or is not covered, specifically gutters. Matt Kennedy was contacted for clarification.
Decision was made to keep assessment for roofs at $600.
A question of whether cedar shakes are still on some of the roofs came up. Bachmann will have to check on what is under the shingles on all homes.
Margaret suggested having Mike Pincus be the project manager for the roof replacements.

New residents of 606 have asked about fixing their back steps. Jack will contact them.
The deck at 535 has been on a list requiring painting. The house is currently on the market. There was a discussion of when a letter should be sent, before the sale or after..
Landscaping: Pat Thomas is the new co-chair for the committee.
Pool Committee: There was a problem with free chlorine being too high reported by Tony Hanson. Tony bought a testing tool to be able to check chemical levels more often.

Parking issues continue. 562 complaints about car from 571 being parked in a space they think they should be reserved for them. Residents at 539 and 541 continue to have disagreement about parking. 539 has requested a handicap space be designated for them. A letter about parking will be sent to all residents to clarify the rules and remind residents there are not designated parking spots by house number and residents are encouraged to work with each other to figure out the best solution for all.
