    \topic{Treasurers Report}
    \subtopic{Early Payments}
    Several members have expressed a desire to make their annual
    payments early this year.  We are doing our best to accommodate
    them. 

    \subtopic{Water meters}
    All of the water meter readings are done, and the annual bills are
    being created.


    \topic{Presidents Report}
    \subtopic{Water} 
    Tim has taken several photos of the lip of the well, and
    distributed them to board members.  It is obvious from the photos
    that the lip of the well is very low, and needs to be raised to
    keep  dirt and debris from falling into the well.  Also the top of
    the well should be replaced.  The board approved the request to
    undertake the necessary work.

    \subtopic{Construction at Gaviota \#3} 
    Lori raised concerns on behalf of Audrey Zikmund about the
    construction going on at Gaviota \#3.  They were concerned about
    the ability of the septic system to handle the extra people living
    in the house, as well as the height of the patio.  Lori asked if
    anyone has seen the plans for new construction.  Tim has visited
    Obras Publicas in Chapala, and confirmed that the plans have been
    filed with the city, and conform to \ldm{} requirements.
    Furthermore, he spoke with the new owners who informed him that
    they are adding a \textit{predigestor} to their sewer system to
    handle the increased load.  Thus the board decided that no action
    is warranted at this time.  Should the neighbors of \#3 wish to
    file a complaint about the construction next door, they should
    take photos and contact obras publicas in Chapala to voice their
    concerns directly with the city.

    Syliva suggested that we require new owners to sign a letter
    acknowledging receipt of the bylaws before signing off on the
    finiquito.  Henry will prepare a one page summary to the most
    important items in the bylaws, along with a link to the complete
    bylaws, to be signed by future new owners before receiving their
    finiquito. 

 \topic{Adjournment} Meeting adjourned at 4:42.
