  10/22/13 � Still need to get a hose real.
  11/12/13 � Tim still looking into it.
• The board received an email regarding a commercial vehicle parked between 4116 Siskiyou Ave. It appears this may be a RGHA bylaw violation, but before the Board takes action we will check to see if the commercial vehicle is breaking a city code. We will review next month. 10/22/13 � Letter was sent to the owner, but truck is still being parked on the �Property�. Police do not want to do anything. We will see if anything changes for the next month and make a decision on what to do next.

• Conversation regarding the pool with Jeff:
  • Quote for plastering the pool: $8760.00
  • Questions regarding what the health department were brought up by Jeff. They may make us add drains, rails, etc.
  • A Permit would be required.
  • A $600.00 fee from Jeff would also be added to the cost for servicing of the pool during the start-up period (i.e. brushing and chemicals)
  • Solar � Is it worth it? Jeff thinks we will only get about 3� for a few months out of the year when it is warmer. Jeff said he would talk to the solar company to see what they think the raise in temperature would be. Only 3�, or more?
  • Patching pool? - Jeff says it can be done, however, we will only get a few years out of the patching.
  11/12/13 Will be reviewed at next meeting.
• A complaint was made by a resident regarding a barking dog near 1913Contra Costa. The owner was called back and down played the complaint. We will see if any more complaints are brought up in the future. 11/12/13 � Closed issue
