Open Forum: Reminder to all Homeowners that tree removal must be approved by the Board per the Bylaws.
Secretary: There was no August meeting, (not enough board members for a quorum) hence no minutes to review

The association is well positioned financially going into the winter based on the end of the month balances in the operating and reserve accounts.
