Speeders: Jackie Komives , Lot 521, mentioned that speeders are a real problem for her since she lives down in one of the dips on Cherry Ridge and she cannot see the oncoming traffic. She would like to see speed bumps installed but understands that this subject has discussed in the past and is not an option. She asked that perhaps an article in the newsletter would bring this problem to the attention of the homeowners. Jerry Carpenter said that he will contact Larry Wiley about speed bumps. Covers for Mailboxes on Eagle Creek Ranch Blvd: Gersey Lammers asked if there was a way to cover the mailboxes on Eagle Creek Ranch Blvd as well as the others in the subdivision.

Jerry Carpenter said that the Board could take that as an action item to check on cost and feasibility. There was a motion for adjournment, it was seconded and passed. The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 pm. Respectfully submitted, Sarah Gella Secretary
