Our 21st annual meeting was held at the Corsettes and called to order by Don Corsette at 5:10 p.m. All property owners in Loma Topkie were present.
The Secretary's report was given and approved. The Treasurer's report was given by Donna Berry and approved.
President Don Corsette gave a report about changes being made on Dry Creek Road. Topkie Drive seemed at one time to be a private road; however, in contacting the city, Topkie Drive has always been a city road. Bob Uvegas had taken down "Private" signs - they will be put back after construction.
President Don had spoken with a man from Tiffany Construction and asked him what plans they had at our entrance. It was understood that our sign and pillars will remain as is. Don has more information in his file regarding changes to Dry Creek Road and in connection with sewer installation. Don reported that the city does not like roads with one entrance, which includes Kachina, Color Cove and ours.
Donna Berry asked if it were possible to return Topkie Drive to a private road. It doesn't seem likely.
There was discussion about the increase of dues to $75.00. Anna May Cary said last year when it was raised it was thought it might be needed for road repair. Donna Berry suggested we wait until next year. Passed.
Don Corsette said they had an offer to buy their home if they could have a chain link fence - even across the front. His feeling is that we should have our Architectural Committee approve any fences. Motion made by Donna Berry, seconded by Elizabeth Welsh, that any and all proposed fences first be approved by the Architectural Committee.
LoRee Parker inquired about a letter the owners received re: sewer charges which are due next May. Donna Berry suggested that owners pay before May to avoid possible increases.
A motion was made by Bob Berry, and seconded by Jack Welsh to close the meeting at 6:00 p.m.
Food and visiting followed.
Respectfully submitted,
