Last night’s well attended HOA meeting featured some great information and dialogue.  This post highlights the main topics of discussion.  Two separate posts have been made concerning Safety and the Golf Course.  This will allow more focused comments.

• Safety:  The main emphasis and time of the meeting was spent on safety.  The Placer County Sheriff’s department gave a talk containing much useful information.  There was also much discussion of our own Safety Advisory Committee activities.  We believe the safety topic is important enough that we are putting it in a separate Post.
• Golf Course:  The golf course status was briefly discussed.  The Board delivered a status letter.  Likewise, we consider this important enough to be covered in a separate Post.
• Lorenzo Harris was introduced as the latest Board addition, replacing James Shelby who resigned.  He gave a brief bio of his experience in the commercial building industry.  He lives in the lake community.  His principal responsibility will be to head the Safety Advisory Committee.
• Compliance:  Chris was absent but sent a note reiterating priorities.  Nothing new here beyond those topics discussed at the last meeting.
• ARC:  Deb gave a brief update indicating the new streamlined procedures seem to be working well.  The coordination of paint and colors with Kelly Moore seems to be an excellent marriage.  They continue to offer 20% discounts for Morgan Creek.  As one homeowner attested to, the discounts are easy to get and apply not only to exterior paint and fencing, but to interior paint as well.
• Financial:  Mike, the Treasurer missed the meeting.  Thus, no financial report was made other than a few highlight numbers such as bank balances and collections which were mentioned by Angie of Associa. Those of you who read this BLOG are aware with our extreme disappointment at the sparse financial information presented.  We continue to need a high level discussion of such items as receipts, reserves  where our money goes, e. g. legal fees history and trends/plans, utilities costs and plans such as the proposed lake well, adequacy of reserves, the gate program costs and savings, and many more.  Most of us are not accountants and need not just balance sheets and income statements, but interpretations. Surely someone at Associa can step up!
• Golf Tournament:  There will be the 7th Annual Morgan Creek Golf Tournament to be held October 13.  The following flyer explains the details.  Morgan Creek Golf Tournament
