Committee Discussion

1. Security Doors.
The Committee discussed the issue of security doors that have been installed, but do not conform to the Design Guidelines. Specifically, two (2) homes have installed brown/rust colored security doors. Further review of the homes reveal that the security doors are set back significantly and are difficult to see from the street. Based on these factors, the Committee voted in favor of grand-fathering these doors and permitting them to remain "as-is".

2. Protective Front Courtyard/Plant Fencing Guidelines.
The Committee discussed options and alternatives relative to material that may be utilized for plant protection and material that may be installed on courtyard gates to assist with critter control. The Committee voted for the following changes:

a. To continue to prohibit the installation of protective plant material/fencing on plants and vegetation in the front landscaping, excluding the front courtyard area. Said specifications on this prohibition shall be added to the Design Guidelines, and
b. To adopt the same Design Guidelines under "rabbit fencing" to allow owners to install protective rabbit fencing on the front courtyard gate.

3. Satellite and Internet Dish Installations.
The Community Manager initiated conversation regarding the placement and/or installation of satellite and internet dishes. For the majority of installations, owners have been successful in locating said dishes in an area that is not visible to neighboring property or from the street. However, there have been a few circumstances where said dish may have required to be installed on the backside eve and some on the roof of the home where great measures were taken to screen from view as much as possible. The Committee voted in favor of permitting these dishes and recognizes that reception and direct line of sight have been achieved.

BCA BOARD: Richard Chenault, President
GUEST: Clayton Loiselle
MANAGEMENT: Janyth Martin, Community Manager

The Budget & Finance Committee Meeting was called to order at 4:00 PM. A quorum was established.

Purpose of the Meeting
The original date of the regular meeting (5/18/04) had been moved to this date to accommodate the request of Richard Chenault to address this committee relative to BCA counsel's comments on a home owners' letter asserting the Board's breach of its fiduciary duty and violation of BCA's CC&Rs. The agenda prepared by Carlton Rooks for the original meeting had been revised to allow for a discussion of the foregoing issue and, subsequently, if time allowed to discuss the remaining topics. (Copy of revised agenda enclosed.)

Counsel's Opinion
Richard Chenault pointed out that the entire case was a matter to be decided solely by the Board. However, he wanted to afford this committee the opportunity to revisit its prior 2004/2005 Budget recommendations to the Board in light of key points raised in the opinion, such as the usual ordinary care standard applied in estimating total need consisting of operational expenses, contingencies and reserves as well as the sufficiency of funding this need. Specifically, Richard Chenault wanted to know if the committee would either stand by its prior recommendations or make any changes. So the Board would be aware of the committee's position when it takes up the issue at the next Board meeting on May 24, 2004.

Discussion and Decision
Chairman Rooks opened the floor for discussion including the audience: Jim Gleason, Board member, and former Board members Robert Tack and Dennis Lamb. Several committee members addressed the issue of sufficiency of the contribution to reserves by remarking that the reduction in the funding in FY 2004/5 was only a one-time event and with 91.4% of being fully funded was still within the policy established by the Board of maintaining at least 90% now, 100% after five years. Also, the fact was mentioned that a survey undertaken by Janyth Martin among neighboring communities showed that a majority was funded below 90%, some in the mid seventies and below. The contribution to reserves of $52,440 plus investment income of about $13,400 exceeds the anticipated need of about $38,600 in the forthcoming fiscal year. The committee is aware that forecasting of future needs is not an exact science and always tries to exercise due diligence in its estimates, mostly erring on the conservative side. For this reason the committee rejects the notion that it may have acted arbitrarily in arriving at its budget recommendation to the Board. Finally, the FY2004/5 budget includes funds for up-dating the current reserve study and for this purpose the Board has established an ad-hoc Reserve Committee to assist in this effort. The committee welcomes the opportunity to support this task and hopes that the new study will aide in improving the assessment process next year.
The committee agreed not to make any changes to its prior budget recommendations to the Board.
The second issue: the voting rights of Board members as members of standing committees will be handled by the Board at its next meeting (5/24/04).
This ended the first part of the meeting and Carlton Rooks thanked the Board members attending it. At the second part we tried to handle as many items of the original agenda as possible given the limited time left.

Minutes of May 4, 2004 Meeting
Minutes, previously distributed, were approved with two small changes.

Election of Chairman and Recording Secretary
The committee elected unanimously Carlton Rooks as chairman, and Charles Schroeder as Recording Secretary.

Welcome of New Member
Carlton Rooks welcomed Tom Rotherham on behalf of the B&F committee.

Approved Minutes to be posted on the BCA Web Site
Carlton Rooks assumed a motion to post approved Committee Minutes on the BCA Web Site. The motion carried.

Review of April 2004 Financial Statements
The review has been postponed to the next meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 5:25 PM.

Following more discussion, the committee voted four to one (Clayton voting "no") to forward the following recommendation to the Board of Directors, via the Building and Grounds Committee: install the bulletin board from Allen Office Supplies, as described during our July meeting, on each of the community's eight mailbox stations. Estimated cost for the boards (not including installation) is $1600. Keith agreed to pass the committee's recommendation to the Building and Grounds Committee Chairman.

2. Bart provided the committee a draft improved community directory story for the September and October Newsletters. The committee agreed with the content of the story, with a few minor changes. Joe agreed to get a cost estimate for printing and binding the directory prior to our meeting next month. Jane will confirm with Janyth the availability of the Access data base file used by CCMC. Clayton agreed to use this data source for developing the directory content.

3. Clayton provided a status report on future changes to our web site, and gave a copy of the scanned Bellasera Design Guidelines to Jane (and Carolyn) for proofing.

4. Our next meeting is planned for Thursday, September 26, at 6:00 p.m.

5. The meeting was adjourned by unanimous consent.

Dick indicated there is no mention of a "non-concurrence statement' per se in the Robert's Rules of Order.

Discussion took place between members regarding whether committee members had a responsibility to look at associated funding for a project.

John Storer moved to approve the Long Range Plan. The motion was seconded by Dick Chenault. The Long Range Plan was approved with a vote by Patrick Quinn, Bob Tack, Dick Chenault, John Storer and Sharon Luse. Members disapproving were Mike Simpson and Mary Gleason. Melissa Price abstained.

After much discussion of the recent survey and whether the survey adequately explained to residents a future clubhouse expansion/renovation, Mike Simpson moved to remove all references to the community survey results. John Storer seconded the motion. Members in favor of the motion were Mike Simpson, John Storer and Dick Chenault. Members opposing removal of the references were Patrick Quinn, Melissa Price, Sharon Luse and Bob Tack. The motion was denied.

The committee discussed whether the committee should recommend a future survey be taken before money is spent on any architectural studies, or the Ramada or clubhouse expansion projects.

Melissa Price called for a vote on the cover letter with the proposed modifications.

¡ Remove the date
¡ Remove the verbiage "[Not included in the survey.]" from the Pool Shade Ramada and Clubhouse Expansion projects.
¡ Add: "[Clubhouse Renovation - Community Survey: 69% support vs. 30% non-support] under the Clubhouse Expansion project
¡ Add: Asterick after Clubhouse Architectural Study, Pool Shade Ramada Architectural Study, Pool Shade Ramada and Clubhouse Expansion projects - indicating "A future survey is recommended to delineate these subject projects."
¡ The last paragraph was revised to indicate the vote taken and members voting record, along with the deletion of the words Non-Concurrence Statements.

John Storer seconded the motion. The vote was unanimously approved. It was decided that in the interest of time and coordination, Melissa Price would sign this report as chairperson representing the committee members.

Action: Melissa Price agreed to revise the cover letter and send via e-mail to committee members before the submittal to the Board of Directors at their next meeting, Monday, March 22. Melissa encouraged all committee members that could attend the Board Meeting to be there to answer questions and offer support.

Mike Simpson will revise the Minority Report to include points, comments by Melissa Price and Mary Gleason.

The Minutes of the LRPC Meetings held February 18, 2004 were circulated via e-mail, modified accordingly, and unanimously approved.

The committee members reviewed and discussed the draft Long Range Plan FY 2004-2005 proposed by Dick Chenault. Dick inserted demographic data, and other modifications suggested by members at the previous LRPC meeting, and draft 3 was approved by the committee. Appendix B was discussed and the following modifications suggested to the appendix and associated project sheets:

2-Solar Heating title changed to 'Solar Supplement to Pool Heating,' and the cost changed to $35,000 to more accurately reflect the estimate. This change in cost will also change the Source total line for 2006/7.

3-Clubhouse Door Alarms title was changed to 'Clubhouse Security' as the project sheet details the door alarm equipment.

4-Camouflage Utility Boxes title is to be changed on project sheet and delineate a uniform, desert-friendly, solid color of paint.

5-Clubhouse Expansion/Enhancement was changed to 'Clubhouse Expansion' to reflect expansion costs separate from those funds that might be available from the replacement Reserve Budget.

5S-Clubhouse Architect Study was added to separate out the cost of an architectural/ engineering study of the clubhouse.

6-Pool Shade Ramada project sheet will be revised to separate out the cost of an architectural/ engineering study from the actual project cost for a pool shade ramada, and delinate measurements.

6S-Ramada Architect Study project sheet was added to separate out the cost of an architectural/ engineering study for a pool shade ramada.

Dick Chenault moved to amend Appendix B by changing the 'Dues' line to read "Unfunded" and change the amount in 2005/6 to $2,750. He will also delete the "Reserves" line. John Storer seconded the motion and the motion was unanimously approved.

Bob Tack made a motion to include several potential sources for funding in the cover letter to be submitted to the Board of Directors with the Long Range Plan. Mike Simpson seconded the motion, and the motion was unanimously approved. Potential sources to be sited in the letter include:

- Reassess the utilization of funds currently established for roads.
- Increase the Long-Range Reserve Enhancement Fund by an additional $10,000 per year.
- Look at building up the basic Reserve fund at a slower rate (but keep total dues at the current rate).
- Institute a 1/8% sales tax to the community membership, which would fund Long Range projects.
- Institute a Special Assessment to the community membership to cover the unfunded Long Range Plan projects (lease favorable choice).

Action: Responsible members agreed to update project sheets and forward them to Melissa. Dick Chenault will revise Appendix B and forward to the committee members. Melissa will update project sheets and distribute a cover letter for committee member's comments.

Next Meeting: The next regularly scheduled monthly meeting is on Wednesday, March 3, 2004 at 3:00 PM at the Clubhouse. This will be the final meeting of the LRPC this year. The Long-Range Plan will be finalized for submittal to the Board of Directors at their March 22 meeting.

David Johnson moved to adjourn the LRPC meeting, John Storer seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved at 4:45 P.M.

The Minutes of the LRPC Meetings held November 19, 2003, January 07, and February 04, 2004 were circulated via e-mail, modified accordingly, and unanimously approved.

The committee members briefly reviewed and discussed the draft Long Range Plan FY 2004-2005 proposed by Dick Chenault. Dick will insert demographic data, consider other modifications suggested by members, and resubmit a draft for review and finalization at the next meeting.

Dick Chenault distributed a summary of the community survey results. The committee then reviewed a list of projects for submittal to the Board of Directors for mid and long-range funding. Following is a brief synopsis of discussions regarding each proposed project:

Gate Access Control System - This project is placed "on hold" at this time until the ad hoc committee assigned by the Board of Directors makes a final report/recommendation at the end of February 2004. Mike Simpson, a member of the ad hoc committee, will inform the LRPC as to their findings/recommendations.

Median Lighting - Paul Antsberger presented a detailed overview of past and current lighting conditions within Bellasera. After a discussion on the merits of solar lighting, and Paul's recommendation to delete this option based on performance and longevity data obtained from building contractors, the committee unanimously voted to delete solar lighting as an option for this project. John Storer moved to approve the project for median ligts in the amount of $10,000 in the 2005-2006 time frame. This $10,000 is an estimate based on the cost to add electricity in two areas; (in priority order) 1) the Corva corridor lighting of the trees, and 2) the Brisa corridor lighting of the trees, and 3) other possible enhancement lighting, e.g., the Bellasera monument at the junction of the Portobello entrance drive and Corva. Additionally, this funding recommendation will include the suggestion that once approved, this project be turned over to the Buildings & Grounds Committee for a final study, bid oversight, and implementation. Paul Antsberger volunteered to obtain further electrical installation cost estimates. The motion was unanimously approved. Bob Tack will revise and update the project sheet for the next meeting.

Clubhouse Security - The inclusion of $2,000 funding for alarming of doors in the clubhouse was discussed. A four to two vote by committee members approved this project for implementation in the 2005-2009 timeframe. Bob Tack will update/revise the project sheet for the next meeting.

Solar Heating of the Pool - This project was discussed at length. Discussion topics included, the initial investment estimate of $30,000, monies saved annually, potentially obtaining a loan so that the initial investment could be amortized over time, member experiences with solar heating and member discussions with others that have used solar heating. Dick Chenault moved that the committee approve including this project in its long-range recommendations, to be scheduled in the 2006-7 timeframe when more information has been obtained. John Storer seconded the motion. The motion was approved three to one, with one member abstaining.

Camouflage Communication Boxes - Discussions included the pros and cons of painting electrical/communication boxes (in the common areas only) a desert friendly color, utilizing local artists' talent, and installation of iron screens similar to the electrical/communication boxes located at the corner of Pima and Lone Mountain Road. It was determined that the ironwork proposed would probably be very expensive, and that local artists are not interested. A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously approved to include this project for funding of $750 for solid color painting only in the 2005-6 timeframe. The motion was approved.

Melissa Price asked for a discussion as to whether the Clubhouse Renovation/Expansion projects should be delineated one-by-one in the Long Range Plan. This request was based on Bob Weissner's previous comments during the February 4 meeting that specific areas should be renovated in priority order, as well as giving the Board and Community an opportunity to express opinions regarding renovation/expansion of specific areas of the clubhouse. Patrick Quinn moved to keep all the elements together in one project for funding as a whole at this time until after an architectural/engineering study had been completed. This motion was approved four to two.

Clubhouse Renovation/Expansion - Three motions were made. The first motion was to recommend the Board of Directors fund $20,000 for an architectural/engineering study during the 2008 timeframe. This study will address the current clubhouse configuration and use for exercise and equipment, meetings, storage, cooking, and management. This study will provide the Bellasera Board with objective data for management decisions regarding the Club House and facilities growth. This motion was approved by a committee vote of four members in favor to two members opposed.

The second motion was to include the Clubhouse Renovation/Expansion project in the long-range recommendations, to be funded at an estimated $200,000, and scheduled in the 2010-14 timeframe when more information has been obtained. This motion was approved by a committee vote of four members in favor to two members opposed.

Bob Tack moved that a recommendation be submitted to the Board indicating they would need to take steps now and direct the Finance Committee to look at funding sources available for enhancements to the community. Patrick Quinn seconded the motion. This motion was approved by a committee vote of three members in favor to one member opposed. Mike Simpson and Melissa Price abstained. Mike Simpson will update/revise the Clubhouse Renovation/Expansion project sheet for the next meeting.

Clubhouse Pool Shade Ramada - A motion was made to recommend the Board of Directors fund $5,000 for an architectural/engineering study during the 2006 timeframe. This study will address the current pool shade configuration, and provide the Bellasera Board with objective data for management decisions regarding a Pool Shade Ramada addition. This motion was approved by a committee vote of four members in favor to two members opposed.

A second motion was made to include the Clubhouse Pool Shade Ramada project in the mid-range recommendations, to be funded at an estimated $50,000, and scheduled in the 2007-2008 timeframe when more information has been obtained. This motion was approved by a committee vote of four members in favor to two members opposed. Patrick Quinn and Mary Gleason will update the Clubhouse Pool Shade Ramada project sheet for the next meeting.

Mike Simpson voiced his strong objection to the Pool Shade Ramada project and will provide a Minority Report to be submitted to the Board of Directors with the LRPC's Mid- and Long-Range Plan.

Dick Chenault voiced his objection to the Pool Shade Ramada due to the estimated cost of the project versus probable utilization.

Next Meeting: It was decided to meet a third time during the month of February in order to complete the goal of the LRPC to provide a Long Range Plan to the Board by March 22. The next meeting is scheduled for February 25, 2004.

Responsible members agreed to update project sheets for the next meeting. Mike Simpson will provide members a copy of the pool solar heating economic analysis provided by Helicol.

A detailed review of the Reserve Budget and items that could be used for mid and long-term clubhouse projects will be discussed. Discussions will also include whether to recommend to the Board a delay in reaching the goal of fully funding the Reserve Budget (longer than the originally projected five years); along with discussion regarding recommendations to the Board supporting a 1/8% Bellasera sales tax, and/or other funding source ideas for mid and long-range project plans.

A motion was made to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 5:20 P.M.

Guest residents included Sharon Luce and Bob Weissner.

The results of the recent survey were discussed. Dick Chenault moved that the LRPC consider the recent survey results from the community as non-binding input, and use their discretion to make long-range planning recommendations for submittal to the Board; indicating to the Board the survey results associated with specific recommendations. The motion was approved with a five to one vote.

The LRPC reviewed the results of the survey, taking a vote as to their approval of recommending particular projects for inclusion in the LRPC's near-term and mid-range plan for submittal to the Board of Directors. Following are the results of the voting:

Dick Chenault indicated the Board had appointed residents to investigate the current gate access system and make recommendations for upgrading the current system's software and/or make other changes to the current setup.

Gate Access System - It was agreed that the ad hoc committee assigned this project will also make a report to the Long Range Planning Committee. Mike Simpson is a member of this group and agreed to provide this team's recommendations to the LRPC by March 3. A vote by the LRPC as to whether to include the gate access system upgrade/change in recommendations to the Board was tabled until after receiving the ad hoc committee's recommendations.

Meeting Minutes
February 04, 2004

A recommendation for an overall clubhouse renovation, specific areas should be renovated in priority order. It was determined that approximately $5,000 was required for a pool shade ramada architectural plan (engineering) that could then be used to obtain bids from building contractors. It was also determined that approximately $10,000 would be required for a clubhouse renovation architectural plan. Bob Tack made a motion to recommend to the Board that money be requested for this engineering so that the LRPC can obtain costs for future clubhouse renovations. This motion was approved and a recommendation will be drafted for approval at the next LRPC meeting so that it can be presented to the Board of Directors at their next meeting, February 23, 2004.

Dick Chenault revised a draft of the Mid-Range Plan and cost schedule for review. A review of this plan was tabled until the next meeting, along with a review of the total projects to be submitted as recommendations to the Board of Directors for short and mid-range planning.

Melissa Price called for a volunteer to Chair the LRPC in the future. This call was tabled until the next meeting when additional members have been approved by the Board of Directors.

The next meeting is scheduled for February 18, 2004. A motion was made to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 5:40 P.M.

Dick Chenault proposed that project sheets be updated and a tentative time frame for scheduling completion of each project be discussed at the next meeting.

Clubhouse renovation discussions were delayed until after the survey results are received. In the meantime, Patrick Quinn and Mary Gleason will coordinate a meeting with Bob Weissner, a resident Bellasera architect, to provide an architectural concept for the clubhouse barbecues and pool shade ramada.

Dick Chenault indicated the Board of Directors had appointed a committee of residents to review the gate access system. Mike Simpson will update the projects sheet for the gate access system, as well as the project sheet regarding the basketball court. Dick Chenault will revise the draft Mid-Range Plan to create a Long-Range Plan, and circulate to members before the next meeting.

John Storer recommended that Bellasera take current preventative maintenance one step further to preclude finding ourselves in a costly, unforeseen situation, by conducting a review of the washes to ensure proper drainage is occurring. This type of review may also involve discussions with the City of Scottsdale. He noted that some communities in the North Scottsdale area have found themselves in unexpected flood situations from building/construction in surrounding areas. As communities around Bellasera continue to develop, this matter should be taken into account.

Bob Tack made a motion to submit a recommendation to the Board of Directors recommending that the Bellasera Board of Directors assign the Buildings & Grounds Committee to review annually the potential impact of surrounding developments on Bellasera common property, specifically the NAOS area. During discussions, it was felt that we do not believe this type of review is the responsibility of the Long Range Planning Committee, and should involve the Buildings & Grounds Committee, as they should be kept up-to-date on NAOS-related matters. This motion was approved and Melissa Price will write a recommendation to the Bellasera Board of Directors for submission at their next Board of Directors Meeting.

Melissa Price moved to increase the members of the Long Range Planning Committee from seven to nine. This motion was approved. Current members will talk to neighbors and friends, including those that are part-time residents, to encourage them to fill out an application for submittal to the Board of Directors.

The next meeting is scheduled for February 04, 2004. A motion was made to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 5:42 P.M.

A review of the Town Hall Meeting comments and resident voting took place. As mentioned during the Town Hall Meeting by both Dick Chenault and Melissa Price, a survey is to be distributed to the entire Bellasera population to ascertain their desires and preferences regarding future long-range planning projects. Melissa Price distributed a draft survey that included all major projects and costs (near-term and long-range projects) that were presented/listed at the Town Hall Meeting. This draft survey was designed to be submitted to the Board for their approval and additional demographic questions, and then mailed to all Bellasera residents so that the entire community would have an opportunity to express their desires.

Richard Chenault, Mike Simpson and Patrick Quinn felt that a survey was no longer required due to the Town Hall Meeting participation. Mary Gleason and Melissa Price felt that ethically a survey was required so that the entire community would have knowledge of projects under consideration by the Long Range Planning Committee, and have an opportunity to indicate their preferences. They also felt that the committee would lose creditability due to the fact that a survey was promised in both the Bellasera News Bulletin and during the Town Hall Meeting.

Richard Chenault made a motion to include only those minor projects not discussed at the Town Hall Meeting in the survey, as he felt the population that attended the Town Hall Meeting represented the majority of the residents interested in community affairs. It was felt that the 15% of the community represented at the Town Hall Meeting would be upset that items they were not interested in would appear on the survey. A vote was taken and the motion was deadlocked three to three.

Bob Tack recommended a compromise by listing and describing only those projects not discussed at the Town Hall Meeting, followed by a list of projects already voted on by the residents that had attended the Town Hall Meeting-indicating the Town Hall participants' support or non-support. Dick Chenault will revise or work with the Communications Committee on the required revisions to the draft survey.

Due to the upcoming holidays, the next meeting is scheduled for January 07, 2004. A motion was made to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 5:30 P.M.

The Minutes of the LRPC Meeting of September 16, 2003 were unanimously approved.

It was decided that no further documentation is required for the next Board meeting.

Richard Chenault has asked Janyth Martin to obtain cost estimates for the Multi-Use Trail Improvements.

Janyth Martin has requested Kevin, the Sergeant of the Guards, to obtain third-shift guest entry information. Richard is going to set up a meeting with Securitas, Janyth, and Melissa within the next two weeks to discuss the guard service.

The LRPC presentation format for the Town Hall Meeting was discussed. The chair agreed to map all projects into one of two time periods; 2004-2008 or 2009-2023. Again, it was determined that individual LRPC members will be responsible for any in-depth questions related to a particular project. It was agreed that individuals responsible for particular projects would be prepared with backup pictures, information, etc. available for community viewing.

No new business was offered for discussion.

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22 at 3:00 PM in the Bellasera Clubhouse. This will be a dry run of the LRPC presentation at the Town Hall Meeting, November 13. Richard Chenault will see if we can hold this dry run meeting at the Legend Trails Clubhouse, or at least view the room before the Town Hall Meeting.

It was moved to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 4:20 P.M.

The Minutes of the LRPC Meeting of September 03, 2003 were unanimously approved.

Documentation required for the next Board meeting was discussed. Richard Chenault requested that a package consisting of the Project Summary and individual project sheets for the proposed short-term projects be submitted for the Board's perusal.

Updated information was presented and some missing cost estimates were added. Janyth Martin is obtaining the remaining short-term project cost estimate for the Multi-Use Trail Improvement.

Mary Gleason presented information regarding the costs associated with professional painting of the communication boxes in the common areas. Mary presented an idea for an associated Community Beautification Project. Melissa Price stated she would like to incorporate this idea when describing projects at the Town Hall Meeting to show that the Committee was not just meeting to discuss 'how to spend money,' but were rather 'thinking outside the box' and also entertaining ideas and ways to 'save money.' This is an idea that would be included in a community survey.

Richard Chenault investigated and suggested revising the cost of the children's play area equipment and associated costs for landscaping of the desert west of the grassy area near the clubhouse.

Mike Simpson presented information on the audio/visual clubhouse equipment project. Mike presented three options and associated costs. It was agreed that low-cost, portable equipment would be a minimal amount bought by the Board as routine operational costs and, therefore, should not be included in the 'short-term' project list. The committee agreed to drop the audio/visual equipment project from the top ten list and include a higher-end quality system as a part of the overall Clubhouse Renovation.

The Desert Re-vegetation project was transferred to the list of other projects that are the responsibility of the Board or other Committees.

Solar heating of the pool, which will save money annually, will be a project sheet written by Richard Chenault and added to the 'top ten' project list.

The LRPC proposed presentation outline for the Town Hall Meeting was discussed, along with individual members that will be responsible for any in-depth questions related to a particular project. It was agreed that individuals responsible for particular projects would be prepared with backup pictures, information, etc. available for community viewing.

The Bellasera Neighborhood News article listing the projects proposed by the LRPC was mentioned based on the 'top ten' priority list. The revised article will be distributed to the various LRPC members September 16. This final submission will then be presented to the Board of Directors for their approval at the next Board Meeting (September 22) before publication.

No new business was offered for discussion. Tasks were reviewed, along with the date of the next meeting - Wednesday, October 1 at 3:00 PM in the Bellasera Clubhouse.

It was moved to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 4:00 P.M.

Janyth Martin, Manager, attended the meeting. The Minutes of the LRPC Meeting of August 06, 2003 were unanimously approved with minor modifications.

Projects suggested for long-range planning were reviewed. Updated information was presented and some missing cost estimates were added. Those projects with outstanding cost estimates were identified, and a new date for completion of information agreed upon (next meeting).

Mary Gleason presented information regarding the camouflaging of communication boxes in the common areas. APS, Cox, and Qwest requirements were flexible with no negatives regarding planting vegetation in front of the boxes; however, APS voiced a strong negative to any vegetation within 10 feet of their utility boxes. Robert Tack suggested reducing the project to painting the boxes only. The committee members agreed and Mary will investigate associated costs and present information at the next meeting.

Melissa Price presented information that revised (and lowered) the estimated cost for a guest phone access system installation at the front gate. This estimate is based on integrating it with the present SmartPass system currently installed. New information was presented regarding the barrier arm at the Lone Mountain gate project. Grayhawk has just obtained permission from the City/Fire Department to install barrier arms at their back gates. Even though the City has approved Grayhawk's request, this project appears impossible for Bellasera's Lone Mountain entrance, as the entrance may not be long enough to accommodate a turn-around between the gate and the adjacent street. The minimum distance from the gates to the adjacent street face of the curb is 75 feet. Janyth Martin was told the distance would not accommodate a barrier arm. ParkPro personnel has been requested to verify the distance and advise if this project is feasible.

Richard Chenault discussed the multi-use trail improvements, feasibility and associated costs. Richard will obtain cost estimates and report at the next meeting. Richard will also investigating and report at the next meeting the cost of the children's play area equipment and associated costs for landscaping of the desert west of the grassy area near the clubhouse.

The audio/visual clubhouse equipment project was discussed, with committee members indicating the use of the room and projection equipment for sporting event, movie get-togethers, etc., utilizing a large screen, and hanging projection equipment. It was felt this type of equipment would greatly enhance the capabilities and uses for this room. Michael Simpson will research and provide cost estimates at the next meeting.

Members agreed to drop three projects as they were determined to be part of other committee's yearly operations, or were projects already in the process of implementation by the Board of Directors; specifically, the Clubhouse Internet Access, Web Site Enhancements, and Cover for the Pool Equipment. Committee members each reviewed the total list of projects and prioritized their 'top ten' projects. After numerical compilation, the results were reviewed, and it was agreed this list would be presented to the Board of Directors at their September 22 meeting.

Richard Chenault reviewed plans for the Town Hall Meeting, and presented the meeting format for discussion or comments. The desert re-vegetation project and the question of modifying the Design Guidelines to allow awnings will be topics of discussion, along with the LRPC's proposal. Richard reiterated the LRPC presentation plan is to review the committee's charter given by the Board, to follow with a brief description of the Committee's proposal of the 'top ten' projects, and the estimated cost. It will be announced that a survey will follow the Town Hall Meeting, providing information and give residents the opportunity to submit their opinions.

The Bellasera Neighborhood News article listing the projects proposed by the LRPC was discussed and revised based on the 'top ten' priority list.

Robert Tack researched and provided real estate information that might be useful in preparing a Bellasera news article and/or used in a cover letter for a survey. It was estimated that one-third of the residents are 'snowbirds.' He reported that Bellasera is currently being viewed as a very desirable location in North Scottsdale (even more desirable than Terravita or Whisper Rock). Resale prices have reached $200 per SF. This desirability is based primarily on the amenities Bellasera offers, and the quality of the architectural aesthetics and environment that is maintained in the community.

A summary of long-range planning projects was reviewed and time frames assigned to each project. The committee agreed to complete the remaining project sheets and obtain 'ballpark estimates'. Melissa will update the summary and email the updated information to the committee members for their perusal before the next committee meeting, at which time each project will be discussed, and a determination made as to whether it should be included in the LRPC proposal to the Board.

The Town Hall meeting presentation was discussed. It was decided to present a brief history of the Board's desire to set up a Long-Range Planning Committee and the Committee's charter; to follow with a brief descriptive narration of the Committee's first draft proposal of projects, the time frame of the projects, and the estimated cost of each. It will be announced that a survey will follow the Town Hall Meeting, providing information and giving residents the opportunity to submit their opinions and priorities.

It was discussed and decided that Melissa Price would write a Bellasera news article listing the projects proposed by the LRPC and the various time frames to help generate interest in the upcoming Town Hall Meeting. This article will be written and distributed to the various LRPC members by August 15. A response from committee members regarding changes, comments should be submitted by August 22. This final submission will then be forwarded to the Board for their approval (August 25) before submitting for publication.

No new business was offered for discussion. Plans were reviewed, along with the date of the next meeting - Wednesday, September 3 at 3:00 PM in the Bellasera Clubhouse.

It was moved to adjourn the LRPC meeting, seconded, and unanimously approved at 5:00 P.M.

Melissa Price read Brad Gazaway's e-mail indicating that based on his work commitments and the meeting time preferred by the majority, that he decided to withdraw as a member of the committee. Other potential candidates in the community were discussed for recruiting. Dick Chenault indicated that accordingly to HOA policy, the Board of Directors reviews all applications and approves all new members assigned to various committees. The Board of Directors next meeting is scheduled for August 25, 2003. Dick also indicated he would check past applications submitted, and talk to others in the community to see if there was anyone to be contacted regarding an interest in this committee.

The regular meeting date, time, and place for the LRPC was re-established as the first Wednesday of the month at 3 PM in the Bellasera Clubhouse.

The Minutes of the LRPC Meeting of June 26, 2003 were read and unanimously approved.

Melissa Price reported that the Communications Committee had made two suggestions for projects to be considered by the LRPC 1) a clubhouse computer for those residents without internet access, and 2) web site enhancements (interactive features, etc.). Melissa also indicated that Councilman Littlefield had been contacted and would respond shortly with suggestions, or names of people to contact, regarding how Bellasera can influence the City to push up the priority of the development of Whisper Rock Park and the beautification of Scottsdale Road. John Storer volunteered to follow-up on these items with Councilman Littlefield.

Bob Tack reported that he is in contact with two resident real estate agents regarding trends in Bellasera and North Scottsdale, and will try to obtain information for use in a community survey.

Gary Stettner and Pat Quinn will present their requests for project suggestions/ information from the Activities and Buildings & Grounds Committees at the next meeting, or via e-mail.

Premises and categories for long range planning projects were reviewed. John Storer suggested adding another premise to point out that the community wants to promote or market Bellasera as the best place to live. Bob Tack mentioned that other committees had discussed how best to market the lifestyle at Bellasera as an "active" neighborhood community.

A summary of current projects was reviewed. Committee members volunteered and divided the responsibility for filling out information required for individual projects. Members will try to complete individual project sheets over the next three weeks and e-mail copies to the other team members so that the team has a few days to review before the next meeting scheduled for August 6. The committee will then discuss each project and come to an agreement regarding category and time frame. This information will then be used to formulate a community survey and for discussion at the Town Hall Meeting tentatively scheduled for November. Dick Chenault and Bob Tack indicated to Melissa that Keith Christian, Chairman of the Communications Committee, could contribute valuable information based on the last community survey format and procedure..

Melissa Price presented a schedule for completion of LRPC goals/projects. This schedule was discussed and Dick Chenault pointed out that the Board of Directors meeting in October would be the fourth Monday of the month, rather than at the beginning of the month. The October Board of Directors meeting is the goal for obtaining approval by the Board of a proposed community survey.

No new business was offered for discussion. Assignments were reviewed, along with the date of the next meeting - Wednesday, August 6 at 3:00 PM in the Bellasera Clubhouse.

The meeting was called to order at 10:01 AM. Dick Chenault attended the meeting at the chair’s request to review the committee’s charter.

Dick said that the committee need not make all the changes required because Del Webb is no longer a factor in the By-Laws (although the committee has chosen to make those changes), and we should have a minimal list of relatively easy changes only. A summary of our changes should be presented at some point to homeowners and categorized as to reason (legal requirements, Del Webb’s absence, and changes the committee proposes). Dick also agreed with the final format of the revised By-Laws (strikethroughs, bold for legal changes and italics for our proposals).

Dick also suggested we propose design guideline enforcement proposals in the CC&R’s.

Dick went on to discuss the role of CCMC in this process (as editors only) and the attorney review as the final step before presentation is made to homeowners. In addition there was a brief discussion on the presentation at the Town Hall meeting (our charter, our approach, and the general category of revision).

Pat and I then discussed Ken’s changes and what still had to be modified after Dick left. The next meeting will be either December 14 or 21 depending on Ken’s schedule and his ability to make the required changes.

The November 16 minutes were accepted as presented.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:10.
