Approval of Minutes
There was a motion to approve the minutes from the board meeting of January 14, 1999, and the general meeting of March 2, 1999. That motion was seconded and unanimously approved.

Treasurer's Report by Dennis Ryan
The Treasurer's Report was read, inasmuch as Dennis Ryan was not present. The question was raised as to whether we had received the first installment of the 1998-99 payment from the Department of Parks and Recreation for the CSA16 budget. It was agreed that an inquiry would be made.

Community Relations Report by Mary Lindsay
The Community Relations Report was presented by Mary Lindsay. She discussed the following matters that have come to her attention.

1. 108 Bretano -- a child care center that appears to be in excess of the number of children permitted under State Law.
2. 20 Manor Drive -- a burned out house. It was decided that we would write to the insurance company and try to locate the owner, to get the owner to clean up the site.
3. A fence at 150 Nandina -- a chain link fence. The owner said the fence would be replaced at the beginning of the new year.
4. A fence at 27 Los Ceros. The owners were advised that their fence did not receive the permission of the board, and they agreed not to erect it at this time and to reconsider its design.
5. The sound barrier on Highway 101. The design by CalTrans is still two years away.

Landscape Committee Report by Scott Sherman
The Landscaping Report was presented by Scott Sherman.

1. All frost-damaged plants have been replaced.
2. The plans for Phase II are not yet complete. We were presented with schematics and Scott mentioned he's having trouble getting the architects to perform the work as quickly as he would like.
3. The issue of blocked views from common area trees was raised. Scott mentioned that our board policy is to ask that part of the cost to prune be paid by the owner of the offending tree and part to be paid by GPOA.

Patty Oxman then mentioned that the clean-up days have been rescheduled to May 22 and 23. The dates were pushed back because the newsletter is late is getting distributed. Mark raised the issue of chargebacks to the mailing company for the late annual meeting notice and Patty mentioned that she feels the company is good to work with and that it would be very difficult to find another company. She said that it would be a major burden to her to try to make a change because of this issue.

Colin Lynch mentioned a new law being discussed in the State Legislature which would require all older subdivisions to amend their CC&Rs so as to eliminate offending illegal language that may have originally existed. Colin will monitor the process.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 PM.
