Board Minutes, Annual Meeting
Below are minutes for our November 16 board meeting. Our next board meeting is December 12 at 7 p.m. at Valley Covenant Church. The annual homeowner’s association meeting will be January 30, 2018 at 7 p.m. at Valley Covenant Church. The nominating committee is seeking nominations for the 2018 board of directors.

Leaf Pickup
We are currently awaiting the first city leaf pickup of the season (scheduled sometime November 13-17). PLEASE NOTE: The city only picks up leaves from city streets, not from our private streets. If you move leaves to the city streets, PLEASE DO NOT dump them close to intersections where they block entrance and exit to our streets and cul de sacs (this has already happened in some spots). And please do not place them in marked bike paths (this is illegal). You can see the city’s leaf pickup announcements and schedule here.

Bentley Resurfacing Postponed
Notifications had been posted that Bentley Avenue would be resurfaced on July 20. Because of complaints from two Bentley homeowners, that work has been indefinitely postponed.
