    \subtopic{Negotiations with  \#26,27}

    Background: For many years, these properties have been vacant and
    unmaintained.  Recently, workers have appeared and have
    rehabilitated them.  They are now almost ready for occupation, and
    representatives of the owner have approached Tim to inquire about
    joining the homeowners association.

    The board authorized Tim to engage the services of 
    Carlos Del Toro\footnote{%
      \parbox[t]{3in}{Carlos Del Toro\\
        cell: (331) 007-5782\\
        Work: (376) 765-3878\\
        Work: (376) 765-4725\\

    to negotiate on our behalf and create a binding agreement
    for the owners.  As a result of these negotiations, the current
    status of the potential agreement is as follows:

    
    \begin{enumerate}
    \item Owners formally agree to be members of the association and
      abide by its rules.
    \item The agreement will be notarized at the owners expense.
    \item \$7500 for 1/2 of the dues for 2014 (both houses)
    \item \$17000 for two water hookups
    \item \$20000 to offset previous legal fees
    \end{enumerate}

    Henry moved and Will seconded that the board authorize Tim to
    continue working with Carlos and negotiate with the new owners on
    behalf of the association. Approved unanimously.
    \decision{Continue negotiations}{Tim will
    continue working with Carlos and negotiate with the new owners on
    behalf of the association.}

    \subtopic{New Pipes}
    
    Tim has contracted with Jose Luis to complete the new piping for
    the last units at the top of the lower hill.  This morning, in
    front of the Yaranon property, a leak was discovered.  We will
    need to track down this lead and repair it.  

    \subtopic{Master Water Meter}
    The re-calibration of the master water meter is in progress

    \subtopic{Well Concession}

    Tim has again contacted Sr. Alcantar\footnote{%
    \parbox[t]{3in}{Salvador Alcantar\\
    Carr. Chapala-Jocotepec No. 268-4 Plaza Las\\
    Flores Ajijic\\ 376-765-3636\\}}
    who has said that the concession
    has been approved and is now in ``sindico.''  What sindico means no
    one knows. 

    \topic{Suggestions from Ed Skoda}
    
    There is a problem with overhanging trees at \#10.  Tim will speak
    to the gardener when he sees him.

    The bougainvillea at the switchback needs to be trimmed.

    The street signs need to be repainted.  Lori will try to convince
    Audrey to do the work.  Henry and Lori volunteered to supply the
    paint.

    The pillars by the cattle guard need to be rebuilt.

    Lori will get a quote for LED street lights.

    These items were mentioned by Lori during the board meeting but
    will be discussed further during the General Assembly meeting.

    \topic{Other business}

    Victor will clean the water tank on December 1st.  Henry will
    inform the residents so that they can turn their intake valves off
    and on.

        CNA water rates have increased by a factor of 7.5.  That is
    750\%.  We can absorb the increase in next years budget if we
    change the structure of the overage charges.  Wil and Tim will
    work out the numbers to present at the next GA meeting.

    We had a fairly extended discussion about possible replacement for
    Will as treasurer. he has provided yeoman service for many years,
    but feels he cannot continue. As no one appeared anxious to step
    forward , Lori Skoda said she would do it, but had new apple
    computer, which she is just learning and our accounting program
    needs microsoft windows. After the meeting Romeo Danni approached
    me and two other board members and after some discussion later
    with Tim, about what was involved, agreed to take the job on on a
    trial basis.  I will suggest that we authorize some ``training
    money'' for our outside accountant Nalletly to start with the
    turnover process as soon as possible.

    \topic{Treasurer's report}
    
    We are on track to finish the year with about \$33K pesos in our
    reserve budget.  There does not need to be a dues increase this
    year.  

    \decision{GA meeting}{The next General Assembly meeting is
    scheduled for 4PM on Tuesday, December 9th at Villa Alta \#6  }

    \topic{Adjournment} Meeting adjourned at 5:12.
