Villas Waterway – Archie said that he’s spoken with the Preferred Excavating, and that the amount of rain that’s fallen has not allowed them to do the work to the Villas Waterway.  

Water issue on Ironwood – Mike Burgess says he has sent letters to councilwoman Sue Schlapp about the issue and she has yet to respond.  Mike says he is concerned that homeowner’s homes would flood if a power outage would occur, and has made recommendations for backup battery sump pump vendors to the homeowners.  Mike says that the homeowners are appreciative of the effort of the board. 

2010 Budget – Archie Macias reviewed a draft of the 2010 Budget.  There are some corrections to be made and Archie asked the board to review the draft and recommend any needed changes at the November board meeting.
