MINUTES OF APRIL 6, 2018
BOARD MEETING

Meeting held at 8471 Fir Way, Blaine, WA 98230
7:05pm - Meeting called to order
1.	Greetings and introductions.
Present -  Jodi Sipes, Lynne VanLuven, Sherry Ellis, Shirley Square-Briggs, Brian Davis
2.	Annual Treasurer’s report – May 1, 2017 to April 6, 2018
3.	Dues – Still $25.00
Sherry reported that deposits were the result of new ownership of lots.  Current dues were paid at time of purchase.  Delinquent dues were not received at time of new ownership as this would have been a costly expenditure on the part of BBVHOA and the association cannot afford this expense.  The topic of overdue and current dues will be addressed at the AGM meeting in May.
Sherry will send “Welcome to BBVHOA” letter to new owners along with receipt for dues paid at time of purchase (the letter also encourages new owners to use the website).
	Starting Balance 	$  890.95
	Deposits		    575.00
	Expenditures		    773.46
	Current Balance		$ 692.49
4.	Association Project for Summer of 2018 
Sherry brought a Disaster Preparedness sheet from the Bellingham Harold.  I will contact the newspaper and see if they have an electronic version that we could pass onto our association members.  There is also a CERT – community emergency response team online that we could look into.
Need to address the issue of tree trimming/cutting at the AGM.  We need to get feedback from owners as to what their thoughts are.  Brian spoke to the people off of Skyview regarding the large maple tree that should be trimmed or cut down.  Did not get a favorable response.
Are we going to have a neighborhood cleanup this year?
5.	Website – new site 5 years for $564.46.  Easier to use and a better website
Jodi has worked on the new and updated BBVHOA website.  Everyone needs to offer feedback as to anything that needs to be addressed on the site. 
6.	AGM will be Friday, May 18, 2018 at 8471 Fir Way, Blaine, WA 98230. Will try to get someone to keep updated membership list.
Brian will make signs for the AGM and post one at the end of each street.  Emails and letters will have to be sent out to owners who do not live in the neighborhood. 
8:05pm Sherry motion to adjourn meeting.  Second Lynne
7.	Issues for discussion @ AGM 
Possibility of a neighborhood garage sale.
