 •            The next item of business was the reading of the Minutes of the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Owners held on March 12, 2005.  

           Ted Ryczek reported on the financials of 2005. Year End results included $107,545 liquid assets, $104,141 in the Vanguard Prime Money market account and $2,984 in the First Bank checking account. The year ended up being $3,404 under budget for the 2005 fiscal year with no receivables due.

 •           Repairs in 2005 included touch up painting of all buildings and decks, replacing of the sauna controls and heater, roof inspections on all four buildings, replacing the hot tub recalculating pumps, replacing the pool heat exchanger, tree thinning on the cottonwood trees and the trees on the hillside next to the dumpster, temporary roof repairs on the entry decks and minor repairs throughout the condominium complex.

 •           A discussion took place on closing of the pool and one hot tub in the off‑season, from April 1 to July 1st and again in the fall, after Labor Day to Thanksgiving because of lack of use. Ted announced that the savings was approximately $3,500 for the year in utilities when closed in the past. With the increase in utilities, the savings will be greater. Utility costs for 2006 are expected to increase approximately 20%. A motion was made and seconded that the pool and one hot tub be closed during the time frame mentioned above.

            The 2006 Budget was discussed was unanimously approved by the Owners. The 2006 Budget also reflects a special assessment to increase the Reserve account for the future of the condominium complex. All owners will have the opportunity to save 10% by paying a one‑time assessment payment. This discounted payment will be included in the February statement. This payment must be received before February 28, 2006. If we do not receive the full payment for the assessment, you will. be billed monthly, approximately $100 per unit per month, starting retroactively from January 2006, depending on the Unit size. (See the payment schedule below). After further discussion, it was agreed that the 2006

             Operating Budget be approved as submitted.

           The budget also reflects an increase in utility costs, natural gas and electricity are expected to increase 20% and insurance rates have increased 7%. Ted will look at other insurance proposals for lower rates.

 

             Improvements in 2006 will include repairing and staining all decks, repairs to the siding and railings on all buildings, seal and stripe the parking lot and roof repairs based on the inspectors' recommendations.

The roof repair will be funded by our Reserve account.

An engineer will be assigned to inspect and make recommendations on the ongoing issues with leaking skylights and deteriorating supports for the living room decks on buildings B & D (Units 4‑9 and 16‑21). He will also make recommendations on repairing the deck for unit #2.

The Board is looking into replacing the exterior lights on all units. It will only include the main entrance light on all units at this time and the pole lamps throughout the complex this year. Any feedback will be welcomed.

Due to the heavy snows this season, the Board also requested that snow be removed from the decks over the garages to prevent damage to the interior garage ceiling and that the ice be removed from the scuppers on the roofs as a safety issue. Ongoing swallow abatement for the clubhouse and buildings B & D will occur this summer.

            A report on the potential development of the Woods pool area and surrounding land was discussed. It was determined that before we proceed we must have 100% of the owners and owners lenders consent on any changes to the common ownership of The Woods property. The Board of Directors took no position on this redevelopment at this time, but will be contacting all owners to discuss the development with them, identifying all possibilities and benefits of the development. Included with this mailing is an overview of the proposed development. The Board also approved funding $1,000 to study the redevelopment the pool area only.

 •            Changes to The Woods Rules and Regulations were made by the Board and were distributed for discussion. The major changes were on the Clubhouse hours; the Clubhouse is now open from 6 AM to 10 PM. Users of the Clubhouse are requested to keep noise levels to a minimum in the AM hours. There also have been many complaints of owner's dogs running loose, annoying barking and owners or their guests not picking up the waste from their pets. Because of these complaints, the Board emphasized the policy on pets to our House Rules and will enforce this rule by contacting the Eagle County Animal Control on continued offenders to these rules. Other changes include updating the House Rules, Athletic Club Rules and the Parking Rules. Please be familiar with all the rules and make sure your guests are aware that they too must follow them. Copies of the updated rules will be mailed out to all owners.

 •           The Board is planning to reconvene for the annual "Walk Around" of the property June 17'h. On the agenda will be a walk around of the property to address issues and future projects. All owners are encouraged to join in and offer any suggestions. If any owners are willing, a tour of remodeled Woods Units would also be welcomed at that time. Ted will contact owners to see who might be interested in showing their unit to other owners.

             Ted Ryczek, who has been an owner of The Woods from 1992 to 2000 and the property manager from

1997 to the present, has announced his resignation effective June 30, 2006. The Board is searching for a

replacement for his position and Ted will help in the transition.

             Nomination and election of Directors were next on the agenda. Ted reported there are two openings on the Board, and three applications received for the openings. Nominated and reelected were Elliott Ross Unit 9 and Sharon Franco Unit 16 to replace Jimbo Grisebaum.

            The election of officers took place and the new Board of Directors is as follows:
