 UPDATE ON ELEC TRIC ITY

 

Jack Hall stated that all is good with the electric and asked that the members check their own meter boxes and if they need painting to get that done.

He stressed that everyone is responsible for the maintenance of their own meter boxes.  If the box needs to be replaced it must be approved and permitted by CFE and done by an approved contractor at the owners expense.

 

 

ROADS, SECURITY AND T RAS

 

Al stated that Rene is doing an excellent job on maintaining the roads 

and that the guards are doing a fine job.  Larry Bahn asked why the guards don't have a phone in the guard shack and was told that  Tony and Carlos's cel numbers are on the laminated rules sheet and they can be reached in an emergency situation by calling their cel numbers.

 

Dawn Fried asked why her massage therapist was denied entry by the guards.  Al answered that there has been a problem with un-permitted masseuse's trying to enter and are  being turned away by the guards.  Carol Johnson stated that when they acquire a permit they are split up in to territories and that the people in question did not have the proper stamps on their permits.  Al said that two stamps are required on their permits and that one is for working in the federal zone.  Dawn asked if she could meet her masseuse at the gate and escort her in and out.  Al answered that would probably be alright, but, they can't stay on property and solicit other business.  Bert Cooper asked if  this would be an association liability and why we are policing this.  Al answered that the guards were getting involved because there was fighting among these vendors and that the PENCA attorney suggested that we require the proper permits and if they  do not have them they would be denied entry.  Al stated that he would continue to work to find  a resolution to this problem.

 

Al stressed that it is necessary for all trash to be bagged, tied and secured in cans with lids. It is an ongoing problem with trash being strewn all over the place.  A lively discussion ensued as to what to do with these issues. Pat Maurant said she is tired of renters using her garbage cans. Al suggested that if you see anyone dumping from another house or non-payers property that you get the address and turn it in to the guards.  Lajean Freeman said that if we leave our trash cans out someone is bound to dump in them. Several people suggested that the trash cans be put away by the guards as soon as they empty them.  Al reminded people that Carol Johnson has some nice trash cans with lids for sale. It was also suggested that a list of non-payers be given to the guards so they know for sure where not to pick up trash.

 

ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE

 

Marv Sexson said that not much is going on at the moment.  He said they approved a  cistern and possibly have someone wanting to build a garage. Three lots have sold recently so he feels that they may be potential builds. He stated that he and Al were having a meeting with Fausto Soto soon and that there was potential for three houses in 2017.

 

 

OLD BUSINESS 

 

Al stated that the community center is still a work in progress and that we are still in negotiations to acquire the lot.

 

NEW BUSINESS  

 

Al announced that Marilyn Hall, Sharon Hill, and Sandra Bonebright have been working on updating the bylaws.  Marilyn explained that the bylaws have not been updated since 2001 and need to be registered. The items in question are to eliminate Playa Encanto Heights and Playa Encanto Shores since they are no longer part of the subdivision and that will match the CC's and R's, propose to hold only two general meetings a year instead of three and to allow proxies by email and to eliminate the need to use certified mail.  Email proxies would be sent out to email addresses that are registered with PENCA.

 

Several members complained about the amount of dog feces in and around the beach.  PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS!

 

Jack Hall mentioned that we are having smaller turnouts for our November meeting and that we should make sure that the weekend we choose does not coincide with the motorcycle rally and that it not be during a holiday weekend. It was agreed to revisit this at the May meeting when we should know when the motorcycle rally will be next year

 

Al welcomed some new residents to our beach beach, Matt and Libby white, Eric and Christie Gordon, and Victor and Marianne Martinez.

 

 

The meeting was adjourned at 11:52 in a motion made by Bonnie Windsor and seconded by Carol Johnson.

 

A round of applause and thanks to Al and Cris Ciasca for hosting the meeting and the potluck.
