    \subtopic{The Well}
    Work on the well has been completed.  A new 15 HP 85 gallon per
    minute pump has been installed, and the piping completely
    replaced.  Residents are urged to clean their filters, as the
    process dislocated a lot of mud.

    \subtopic{The special assessment}
    Most homeowners have paid the special assessment of \$5000 or are
    in the process of paying.  Some will be contacted a second time.

    The board voted to contact Consuela and negotiate a plan with her
    regarding the special assessment.
    
    \subtopic{Accounting}
    Ruth reviewed the expenses, and we are on track to get through the
    rest of the year.  

    Ruth has created a projected budget for next year and it looks
    like we will be able to operate for another year without raising
    the annual assessment.  A motion to that effect was made and
    passed.

    \subtopic{Revision of the Bylaws}
    Henry presented Tim with a marked up version of his and Bill
    Friends new version of the bylaws and zoning rules.  The main
    change was in the notification process, and changing some of the
    language to reflect the current reality.

    \topic{New Business}
    
    \subtopic{Meeting with a lawyer} 
    Tim ask the board for permission for funds so that he and Ruth
    could meet with a lawyer famliar with Homeowners Associations to
    clear up the requirements for protocolization of the minutes.  The
    board approved the request.

    \subtopic{New Dog Policy}
    Ruth brought up the need for a Frac. ``leash law.''  After
    considerable disscussion, she will work with Henry to present a
    proposed addition to the bylaws at the next General Assembly meeting.

    \subtopic{Preparation for GA Meeting}
    The agenda for the General assembly should be distributed by
    November 30th, and the next GA meeting is currently scheduled for
    December 14th.


    \topic{Adjournment} Meeting adjourned at 6:05 pm.
