Old Business: 
1.	Storm Damage Repair: No change from last month.  We are still expecting more information from the county.  This is Grant funding to repair the September 2013 storm damage to the drainage in our greenbelt areas.  
2.	New Trails in Our Common Area:  Gary said he will talk to Bill Seike when he returns from out of town in September to get options and estimated costs for three trails: (1) Bermuda Dunes trail, (2) Playground to Gleneagle Dr. trail, and (3) Goat trail from Jesse to Steinbeck.
3.	Culvert under Holbein: The culvert from Baptist Road water drainage that goes under Holbein is filling with silt and redirecting storm water on homeowners’ property. Gary stated that he will get an estimated cost from Bill Seike when he returns in September for annual maintenance with a backhoe to dig out the silt. 
4.	Jesse Drive Resurfacing Request: Bob reported that county roads planner John Clack promised he would take a hard look at this request for the 2017 road repair list which is finalized around Sep-Oct 2016.  Bob and Joy will talk to the Antelope School Principal to request her support for resurfacing with an additional call to Mr. Clack.
5.	Sidewalk on Gleneagle Dr.: Gary will send a letter of thanks to the county.
6.	Website Update: Gary said that the new website should be up by 1 September.
7.	Alcott Court Trailhead Drainage Damage: Tina provided photos of the erosion that has become visible under the concrete path that leads to the greenbelt.  The erosion appears to have left a fairly large void under the sidewalk which is possibly due to drainage problems and may become a safety hazard.  Gary said he contacted the county and requested they determine if the source of the problem is the underground county drain.  He will contact them again and have a Board member meet with them when they schedule an inspection.

New Business: 
1.	GNHOA Annual Meeting 2016: The Board discussed items for the annual meeting to include a notice to homeowners of the evolving Westcott Fire District funding issue and vacancies on the Board.  Gary will confirm the date of Wednesday, 21 Sep 2016, with the school schedule.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 pm.

Approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
