DEER CREEK LANDOWNERS, INC.
Minutes of General Meeting     May 30, 2009

Scopazzi’s Restaurant, Boulder Creek, CA 95006

President Jose Radzinsky welcomed the landowners. [Hard copy of those attending in Book of Minutes].
Introductions all around.
Jose explained that we have to hold off conducting business until a quorum has been achieved.  
Jose asked the membership to guide the Board as to how long DCLI is to wait until legal action should be taken against landowners in arrears.  Bills usually go out June 1st or later – July 1st now – 6 months was suggested. Ron explained that Arden has been nice enough to mail out reminders because there is no mechanism to continue to send out bills; we need to do major part of the work before the rain, and some after, and we need the money up front. 
Jose officially called the meeting to at 1:30 p.m. when it was determined that a quorum was present. Tys moved to make the following policy:  60 days after annual dues and shared costs (845s) are billed and a landowner has not paid nor made financial arrangements with the Board, a letter will be sent out notifying the landowner that in 30 days a lien will be placed on their property (and depending upon the amount due, that a suit may be filed in Small Claims Court.) Prior to the lien being recorded, or a Small Claim suit filed, the Secretary will inform the landowner that the lien/suit is imminent . Mike Brown 2nd, approved.
