Open Forum: -Ball Field is being worked on. The Rancho Tehama Youth Foundation are checking and cleaning the sprinklers. Saturday, May 6, 2006 they will be seeding and everyone needs to stay off the grass for about 3 weeks. Anders mentioned that Ryan is doing a good job on the Ball Field -A member wanted to know if signs can be posted at Fawn Meadows. Marcia told her that signs can be posted 15 feet from the edge of the road and not on any Ranch signs. -There was a discussion about storage containers. Dee Oliver will investigate and report her findings at the next open Board Meeting.

Correspondence: E-mail from the JohnsonÕs presenting a list of mobile home companies to be consulted for estimates for office replacement to be read during Unfinished Business.

TreasureÕs Report: Karis Pierce Draft Financial Statements for March are available. There was a mistake on the February Financial Statement from the change over of computers. The telephone bill amount was incorrect. We are moving ahead financially. We will be spending more money on fixing the roads since the weather is nice now. Karis, Bill and Anders have gotten bids on the new office. The office is not repairable and is uninsurable after July because it is too old. Mrs. Johnson volunteered to be on the Building Review Committee.

Office: Bill Massey We are looking for a replacement office. We will put everything together and have a meeting to discuss what we will do about the new office. Anders will call the places Mrs. Johnson recommended in her e-mail. The Delinquency Report is good news, it is $120,750.99 now and was $282,181.60 a year ago which is a 60% reduction. There will not be much of a change from now on since we have reduced our delinquencies so much now. Lots must be in arrears for 1 year or $1,800 before we can send them to Allied. We have put $160,000 in the bank.

Post Office: Karis Piece The position for the Post Office has been filled. Karis is working with Sherry about getting a new contract. We will be having it filled out and sent in soon. When the mail is delivered there is a 5-10 minute period when the Post Office window is closed. Ê Ê

Maintenance: Bill Massey for Dennis Campbell Dennis is currently with the Engineer and Surveyor, so he is unable to be here. The maintenance crew has been filling pot holes. They have painted the Fawn Meadows Restroom inside and out. They have cleaned up graffiti and repainted several locations. The maintenance crew has weed whipped and mowed around the Association grounds. They have mowed the levees around the ponds and sprayed weed control around the pumps. They have repaired both lawn mowers.

Airport: Bill Massey for Doug Dugger In April there were 48 operations and 3 Medivacs. Doug Dugger bought a tractor with a Brush hog. Bill and Doug will be mowing the airstrip instead of burning this year.

Architectural Committee: Dee Oliver We want storage containers which are an eyesore removed. Anyone who has a property near them that is unoccupied and overgrown needs to let the Architectural Committee know, so they can notify the owners. It could be a fire hazard.

Election Committee: Marcia Rouse Marcia gave the Board the Candidates statements to review and then they need to be returned to her. In the past we had a 2 envelope system in voting. Because of the Davis-Stirling Act, this year we will have a 3 envelope voting system. Each Lot will have its own ballot, so owners of several lots will get multiple ballots. Each member must mail ballots back separately in the envelopes provided. They can not be brought into the office. They will be verified by property address on the Master List. Your ballot may not be counted if you donÕt do it correctly.

Finance/Budget Committee: Karis made a motion to release the current Finance/Budget Committee. Anders seconded the motion. It was passed by a vote of the Board. Per the Davis-Stirling Act, the Finance/Budget Committee has a much more involved role now than they had before. It is a year-long committee, who meets monthly and gives reports to the Board monthly. New Volunteers were encouraged to apply.

Fire Station: Sadie Bentz For the month of April the Fire Station had 13 medical aids, 2 smoke checks, and 1 structure fire. The Fire Truck engine is being worked on by CDF. The old ÐTimers will be filling in until it is fixed. Transfer Station: Leslie Hedelius Leslie wants the name changed on the agenda to the Alternative Transfer Station, so her report can come first. Sadie made a motion to get a second clean-up bin. Anders seconded the motion. It was passed by a vote of the Board.

Unfinished Business: -Resolution 02-06 is for the Development Fee. Ann Marie read the Resolution. Bill made a motion to go forward with the Resolution. Anders seconded the motion. It was passed with a vote of the Board. - Johnson e-mail was not read as its contents were discussed in regards to office replacement estimates.

New Business: -Resolution 03-06 states that new owners are responsible to abide by the CC&Rs and sellers must provide the CC&Rs to the new owners. The CC&Rs and By-Laws are on our website. Bill made a motion to proceed with the Resolution. Anders seconded the motion. It was passed by a vote of the Board. -Resolution 01-06 is being put on hold until the lawsuit is settled. Ê
