New Business:
- (A) L. Bulat wants all residents to know that the vote for a new management company was unanimous.
- (B) New management company...Compass Group has suggested a change in the interview process of new residents. They perform background checks and credit checks and have asked the board of directors to take time and digest this process. The future applicants will be required to absorb this related cost. No changes will be made at this time until there is a full board for a vote.
- (C) Pool rules...a situation recently arose at the pool concerning an unleashed dog in the pool. Rule #12 indicates NO animals are allowed in the pool area. The owners have been notified by a violation letter.
Audience Participation:

applicant will pay this fee.
- Roger Jacobsen had questions regarding background and credit checks. The Compass Group will deal with this through our lawyer before decisions are made.

the cost related to this company is comparable and the association signed a three (3) year contract with a cap of 3% increase.
