President’s Report
Joe Muscarnera briefly outlined the agenda.  He reported the following:

 The Security patrol will be expanded from just Eric with the addition of Shanna Jerrard and a discussion with both will occur to discuss the communities’ expectations.

We are looking at two different quotes for the stump carving project as the third quote was not in line with what we approved and the board will be voting on which quote to accept.

Member of the month award
For the month of December the volunteer of the month goes to Toni Jelik.  Toni has spent hours upon hours working as a board member, the annual Christmas Santa ride and Food drive, as well as numerous donations and charities.

Park Committee Report:  Jean Julum
The park area is still being trespassed during the night.  More lights need to be added for security purposes.  We need to advise our own security patrol to make numerous checks on this area moving forward.

Entrance Refurbishment Committee report: Justin Carlo
Nothing at this time.

Architecture Committee Report:  Joe

Communications Report:
Don Fisher advised that there are no articles at this time for another newsletter.  The next newsletter is scheduled to come out in March and at that time we can combine it with our annual dues/fees change letter.    

Finance Committee Report:
Kathleen will schedule a meeting during the end of the month.

Lake Tapps Community Council Meeting:
Don Fisher reported that the level of the lake has only come up a couple of inches’ due to river flow.  Cascade is supposed to come up with a offer very soon and the city alliance is supposed to follow with a immediate counteroffer.

Unfinished Business:

New Business

Open Discussion:
Ann Fisher brought up the unacceptable response time of the Fire/Rescue units as we’ve been getting 20, 30 and sometimes 40 minute response times.  We need to communicate this information with the community.  Joe will call the administration office for a response or explanation with possible suggestions to correct this issue.  The board felt this would be good material for the upcoming newletter and a volunteer was selected.

Meeting adjourned at 7:52 p.m.
