I.          CALL MEETING TO ORDER

Nick Pappas called the meeting to order at 9:55 a.m. with four Board members present

II.        MEMBERSHIP FORUM   

            Dale Kiriaze said things are going well in the association except for some garbage cans and recycle bins left out.  He did an inspection at the end of October, and there were 20 to 25 people that had them out.  Ms. Baldridge said that a newsletter is due to be completed and could remind them at that time regarding these things.  He also said the bee hive is now gone that had been there since summer.  He discussed a home that appears to be running a business out of their house and junk is stored there.  There was also someone who had a Jeep with expired plates in their driveway and Ms. Baldridge explained that there is a process followed with these situations.  This would be executive session items and because of the privacy law, cannot be detailed.  He said that he could call Washoe County to tow if it is not registered as it is a junk car and has been out for a year and a half.  The Board appreciated his information.  The Board suggested contacting them through email but also to EBMC for proper procedures so issues will be acted upon when necessary.  Mr. Kiriaze talked about the landscaping issue and new contract.  He wanted to know regarding pre-emergent and Ms. Baldridge said it should be included in all the contracts.  He wanted to know if the Board has gone out to get new management contract bids and if they were going to vote on EBMC today.  Mr. Pappas indicated they will not be voting as they have not obtained three bids or at least tried to get them.  Upkeep of lawns and landscape as well as trailers will be items of importance for the upcoming year.  The Board discussed houses that are in foreclosure where their lawns are not kept up.  As a Board, they have a right to cut lawns and water but cost has to be absorbed until the house is sold.  The Board explained that they just want to keep the association kept up as Fieldcreek is a nice place to live.

            Velma Mowatt wanted to know why the entry was not cleaned up on the corner of Thomas Creek and Evening Song where the fire station will be.  Ms. Baldridge said this was discussed last year and the Board will investigate this further.

III.       COMMITTEE REPORTS

Nothing to report at this time

IV.       MINUTES

A motion was made by Bill Jastrow to approve the October 7, 2009 minutes as presented.  Les Cohen seconded the motion.  All in favor, motion passed unanimously.

V.        FINANCIAL REPORT

            Board to Review Financials

Nick Pappas reported that he is going to be producing an ongoing running chart regarding what is in the bank as to balances and reconciled bank account.  He has been using the balance as it has come out of bank but should be using reconciled amount.  Nevada State Bank had $51,405 and now has $38,474 because bills had been paid.  Heritage construction account is now $16,998 as it had accumulated some interest.  The Board needs to take action early this year regarding people that have not claimed their construction deposits as this needs to go to the State.  The contingency account is now $22,896 and the reserve account is at $7,761 as of November.  He asked Ms. Baldridge why are the reserves were down, since there was about a $1,200 difference from last month.  This will be reviewed as nothing has been spent from October through December.  The only other issue according to Mr. Pappas is that on November 11, 2009, the CD with Wells Fargo was renewed and the current balance is $25,455.74.  Renewal was for nine months to August 11, 2010.

VI.       OLD BUSINESS      

            Nothing at this time.

VII.     NEW BUSINESS

            Board to Review and Approve Management Contract.

The Board decided there was a need to go out to bid for management companies, acquiring two more bids.  Also, they would like to defer discussion until Mark Bacon, Pablo Gomez and Barry Ojers are in attendance as they had some comments they wanted to make.  A motion was made by Les Cohen to table the discussion to review and approve management contract.  Gary Bria seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed unanimously.

Board to Review and Discuss Board Packet Procedures

Ms. Baldridge said board packets will not be mailed and will be made available 7 days prior to the meeting.  They will be emailed to the Board members so they can print out whatever they want for the upcoming meeting.  A motion was made by Les Cohen to email board packets seven days prior to the board meeting and will no longer be mailed unless someone requests it and that a hard copy will be available at the meeting, Bill Jastrow seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed unanimously.

Board to review and approve 2010 Landscaping Contracts

The Board said there was a problem as there was only one company who submitted in sealed envelopes, which is in accordance with new NRS law.  Signature Landscaping was the only one who sent in a bid.  Currently, contracts cannot be reviewed until opened at a board meeting.  The bids can be opened and tabled and can be reviewed by Board members at their leisure and an emergency meeting can be held if necessary.  There were some proposals received that were not sealed and Ms. Baldridge had to disregard them because of the new law as she could not put them in a sealed envelope from a fax.  She is expecting a couple more to come in.  This approval process will be deferred until next meeting.  A motion was made by Gary Bria to table the review and approval of a 2010 landscaping contract until next meeting.  Les Cohen seconded the motion.  All in favor, motion passed unanimously.

A motion was made by Gary Bria to approve filing of 1120H for 2009 taxes and also to approve Kohn Colodny to complete the taxes for 2009.  Les Cohen seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed unanimously.
