F) Board of Directors report

2017 budget – monthly dues are unchanged from 2016; planned expenditures are the same except for increases due to (16) more new units; planned expenditures are based on assumption that the Association will be reimbursed for 2016 expenses to repair damages caused by new construction, if not, lawn watering frequency will have to be cut back in 2017.

Conversion from city water to well water for all Manors lawn irrigation – the Board of Directors discussed the cost and savings available to the Association by drilling three water wells and thus eliminating the need to purchase water from Shelby Twp.; feedback from the members indicated that regardless of the savings, they do not want to use well water for lawn irrigation because of the potential for staining of buildings and concrete caused by the high iron content of the groundwater, as evident at the nearby Kensington Condos.

G) Open Discussion – (7) members volunteered their services when needed by the Board
