MINUTES
The Board of Directors meeting for The
River Oaks Place Council of Co-Owners, Inc. was called to order at 7:13
p.m. Those present were David
Brashear, Neil Koenig, Ruth Simmons, Sandra Stettler, Lindsey Word, and Jackie
Wright representing the managing agent.
HOMEOWNERS'
FORUM
Wilson Barbee of unit 132, Luis Salinas of
unit 158, and Mae Holm of unit 216 were present. The Board answered questions
from Mr. Salinas with regard to the proposed change in landscape
contractors. Mr. Salinas
again recommended that a Landscape Committee be appointed to make
recommendations to the Board. The
Board advised that the intention is to keep a landscape company to handle the
mowing and edging, and Juan Merida will handle care of all other landscaping
with the help of an assistant, in accordance with the recommendations of Texas
A & M University Horticulture Department's guidelines for plant care.
Mae Holm requested information from the
Board members as to their background and employment fields.
MINUTES/REPORTS
Motion was made, seconded and carried to
approve the minutes of the May 26, 2010 Board of Directors meeting and
Executive Session as amended.
The Financial Report was reviewed and
accepted as presented.
UNFINISHED
BUSINESS
An update was given regarding the survey on
the driveway parking procedures.
It was estimated that 50% of the owners actually completed the
survey. Each of the Board members
will read the comments prior to discussing this issue further. Management was instructed to continue
with current vehicle violation policy at this time.

Management was requested to purchase new
brightly colored parking stickers due to the existing stickers being worn and
faded. The numbers on the stickers
that are distributed will be logged by management (two stickers per unit).
The Board discussed the driveway repairs at
the dumpster to be completed in two phases, due to the fact that there will be
in excess of approximately 24 vehicles that may need to find alternative
parking during the project if it is done in one phase only. Once scheduled, management will post a
notice for all residents. The
dumpster will be moved for the duration of the project to the location where
the recent community‑wide barbecue was set up. The entire concrete project is anticipated to take about 10
days, weather permitting.
Management again presented the three bids
for mowing service. Management was
asked to talk with Juan Merida about specific plans for hiring an assistant for
20 hours per week.
Management advised that tree removal near
the iron fence at unit 166 was completed, and the stumps will be ground as soon
as they are thoroughly dry.
Management was also asked to have another stump ground, from a tree that
was removed previously (near the new brick wall). When all of that is completed, the iron fence can be
straightened.
It was reported that the River Oaks Place
website is back up and fully operational.
NEW
BUSINESS
Ruth Simmons recommended the Board consider
tree trimming by Treescapes due to the projected busy hurricane season. It was also mentioned there are several
owners with large trees within their patio areas. Treescapes will be requested to inspect all trees and make a
recommendation, as well to inspect any units that have trees within the patios
that require attention.
