I plan on taken the 3rd and 4th off. I'm available on the 7th, 8th and 14th. Also, on "deeding" the channel to the city...does he
mean the entire drainage way? If so, we need to talk. They should maintain their drainage way like the other subdivisions do.
Just my thoughts.

Clay -
From our last conversation, and those previous thereto, we have beed expecting to hear back from Gary Sieb about an all parties
meeting on the easement issues. We realize it is the Christmas season upcoming, but we think advance planning/notice of this
meeting will be necessary. It has been nearly two months since we first discussed such a meeting and, other than Gary's letter
basically indicating that such a meeting might not be necessary, we haven't heard a word from him. Meanwhile, independent
actions, both bad and good, are ongoing out there without any direction or definition.
In addition, regarding the deeding of the drainage easement to the city, we want to put that before our HOA memebership for a
vote early next year, so we need to see what is being proposed in that regard as soon as possible. We are actually hoping to use
that deeding as an incentive to get our membership to amend our CC&Rs to give the HOA the power to enforce its' provisions. That,
obviously, isn't the cityks problem, but we feel it in the best interest of the entire community, long term, if quality neighborhoods
can remain qulaity neighborhoods, so we would hope the city would try to assist us in this regard.
Anyway, we are just concerned that time is rapidly slipping by while nothing, seemingly, is being done. We hope you can try to get
the individual staff involved more focused and get these various actions started.
Please advise so that we can get our folks scheduled and assure the attendance of the appropriate parties on our side.
Thanks for your interest and assistance with this matter.

Clay: Not a question just an FYI. I have met with two of the five home owners we sent the letter to. I personally met with 533
Cromwell (won't begin to pronounce his name) last Friday and he is in compliance with standards. Met with 646 Joshua (Mr. Biju
Mathew) just before Thanksgiving and explained what needs to be done. He understood but was questioning his $400+- per year
dues he pays to the Association and indicated he'd get back to me when he found out where his money was going. I believe it's for
the maintenance of the drainage area, by the way. I e-mailed him last week and he was still in process of investigation.
I've done some additional research and find this same question came up in October of 2006. Mr. Gary Josephson, Asbury Manor
Association Manager, asked Matt to address this same issue (copy to Larry Knigsbury and others). Matt contacted David Dodd and
I have a letter from David dated November 15, 2006 that states maintenance is the responsibility of the home owner.
I believe Larry Kingsbury's question is more related to maintenance of the drainage channel which I didn't address in my "crappy"
letter to affected property owners. Drainage is an engineering issue and I believe Ken has a pretty firm opinion regarding this
drainage channel.

I'm willing to meet whenever...
