Oakbridge Condominium Owners Association
Annual Meeting Minutes 2011

A motion was made and seconded to forego reading of the 2010 minutes and accept them as written.
Steve Kouri of Courtney & Courtney Property Management presented an overview of the 2010 budget and reviewed the 2011 budget.
2010 projects included painting the exterior of all the buildings, parking lot repair, fence repair and replacement, annual Orkin inspection for termites and other pests.
2011 projects include complete roof replacement on each building, to begin in April. The project requires a claim to be filed with the HOA's insurance company, CB. As noted at the Special Assessment meeting held on November 4, 2010, each unit owner is responsible for paying a special assessment of $800.00 to cover the insurance deductible. If we wait another year, the HOA's deductible will double. To avoid extra costs, the roof replacement project will be conducted during the month of April 2011. Several units are still in the process of paying their special assessment. If the HOA does not have the full deductible amount in time to pay the insurance company, the remaining balance will have to come out of reserves and any unit owner in arrears will be turned over to the HOA's attorney for collection. Please review the Special Assessment meeting minutes and information packet that you received for further information.
It was noted that having a brand new roof on each building, along with the new paint and fascia repair done last year, property value will increase.
Landscaping and spring grounds cleaning will commence after the roof repair project is completed, as that process can be messy. Sprinklers will not be turned on until the roof repair project is completed.
In January, the Board of Managers decided to decrease trash pickup from three days per week to two days per week in order to help the operating budget. This decision will save the HOA approximately $696.00 per year.
Chris and Nicky Nicholl have again volunteered to look after the north side flowerbeds this season; Michael High will continue with minor grounds keeping and foliage care. It was noted that the landscaping company made a mistake in pruning certain bushes around the complex. Hopefully, the damage is not too great and the foliage will blossom as it should. The Board of Managers wishes to express its gratitude once again for these volunteers and their efforts to improve the aesthetic quality of Oakbridge grounds and save the HOA some money.
A motion was made and seconded to accept the 2010 budget. The 2011 budget was accepted by quorum vote.
Dues / Late Fees
HOA dues for 2011 will remain at $135.00 per unit.
The Board of Managers encourages anyone who is in dues arrears to please contact Steve Kouri immediately so you can get set up on a payment plan. The Board of Managers is very aware of these tough economic times and is willing to work with residents on an individual payment plan that will assist them in keeping up with their dues. Please communicate with us if you are behind on your dues or anticipate getting behind in your payments. We can't help if we don't know of your struggles, so please talk to us.
The Policies will officially be changed to reflect a $15.00 late fee rather than the current late fee of $25.00. This change applies only to late dues assessments, not to fines assessed for violations of the Rules & Regulations.
A question was asked regarding whether or not the Association will put a lien on a unit if that unit's special assessment and/or monthly dues are not paid. The answer is yes. However, the Board will do everything it can to avoid that situation and the legal process involved.
In lieu of sending out a monthly paper statement for dues, Courtney & Courtney will mail each unit owner a coupon booklet for monthly dues assessments. This will help the HOA cut down on postage costs. You can always make a payment online at www.courtneyandcourtney.com as well.
Surveillance Cameras vs. Perimeter Fence / Dogs / Trespassers & Loiterers/ Graffiti / Renters / Kids
Currently, the cameras are aimed at the most problematic/ high traffic areas of the complex. Several residents are in favor of adding more surveillance cameras to the perimeter of the complex, as it has been noted that neighbor dogs regularly use Oakbridge lawns as a place to relieve themselves and a perimeter fence to keep them out will be costly. The cost per camera is approximately $250.00. The Board will do some cost comparison over the next few weeks. As this is an ongoing problem, the Board encourages each resident to make note of anyone – non-Oakbridge resident or current resident – who allows their dog to defecate on Oakbridge grounds without subsequent cleanup. Please contact Steve Kouri at the Courtney & Courtney office to report the person anonymously.
If you see anyone on Oakbridge grounds at any time of day that does not live here and appears to be trespassing and/or loitering, the Board encourages you to call the CSPD non-emergency number 719-444-7000 and report the individual(s). Please also call Steve Kouri so he can let the Board know about the incident.
The north side perimeter fence has been hit with graffiti several times over the past few months. One resident suggested painting it with a "washable" Teflon paint. The Teflon paint allows the graffiti to be hosed off with water. The Board will check on this option.
The Board reminded everyone that any owner leasing out their unit to a tenant must supply a copy of the Rules & Regulations to the tenant as well as provide a copy of the lease to the Board.
The Board reminded everyone that as the summer months approach children will be outside more. ALL children MUST be supervised at all times while on Oakbridge grounds. This Rule/ Regulation applies to visiting children as well.
The Board would like to remind all residents about the City's curfew for underage children. All children under the age of 18 must be inside no later than 10:00pm Sunday through Thursday, and by midnight Friday and Saturday.
Morgen Thomas was reelected to the Board of Managers by unanimous vote.
The annual meeting was adjourned at 8:11pm.
REMINDER: The deadline to have your Special Assessment paid in full is APRIL 15, 2011!

Roof Replacement Tentative Schedule
Roof Replacement Tentative Start Date Range: 4/4/2011 to 4/11/2011
*Start date will be on or between the above dates - Please note that start date is subject to change*
Listed below you will find a list of things that you can do as preparation for the reroofing project in order to avoid unnecessary confusion and/or frustration.
Crews/Employees
After careful consideration, Empire Roofing has been chosen to replace the roofs at Oakbridge, due to their high degree of integrity and skill. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding your project or experience difficulties speaking with an employee, please contact the Courtney & Courtney office and your concerns will be immediately addressed.
Pets
The roofing project on your home could be quite irritable to your pets. Empire Roofing is not responsible for protecting your pets from typical construction debris or trying to keep them controlled within the confines of your property. Please take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety, security and comfort.
Vehicles
Be sure to notify Courtney & Courtney of any special concerns or instructions regarding the delivery of the roofing materials so as not to block your personal vehicles. Every effort will be made to remove all roofing debris from the property (i.e. shingles, nails, flashing, etc.) during the roofing project. The roofing project should not be too lengthy, therefore you may want to plan to park on the street until the final clean up of the property has been completed. This may eliminate the unlikely, but possible, chance of a flat tire or damage from construction debris.
Lawn Furniture and Potted Plants
Although the crews are very careful about the tear off process of your roof replacement, you may consider covering lawn furniture and/or potted plants to avoid unforeseen damage.
Wall Hangings & Light Fixtures
During the roof replacement project of your home, there will be roof traffic, pounding, loading and vibration. This is all part of the roofing process and cannot be avoided. There are some precautions that can be taken to minimize unpleasant circumstances:
* Make sure wall hangings are removed if you fear they could vibrate off of the wall and be damaged.
* Check all light fixtures and all light bulbs. These items have been known to fall if improperly installed or loose.
* China and pottery displayed on their edge could vibrate downward. Wall cabinets and plate rails are examples of possible problem areas.
* Normal construction wear and tear could result in minor interior wall/ceiling cracks, flaking of paint, debris falling into the attic and nail "pops" in drywall.
Note: Empire Roofing, the Oakbridge HOA and its representatives, and Courtney & Courtney are not responsible for damages that may occur during the typical roof replacement process. However, every effort will be made by Empire employees to prevent unnecessary construction problems.
Electricity
The crews will likely need electricity to complete the roof replacement on your home. If you do not have an outside electrical outlet, please contact the Courtney & Courtney office so that arrangements can be made to provide access to an electrical outlet inside your home. If you have an exterior outlet, please allow the crew access to your back patio area.
Tools and Equipment
Empire employees furnish their own tools, ladders and other miscellaneous equipment. Do not loan tools to the crews except for special isolated circumstances. For example, they may need to use your water hose for the clean up process at the end of the job.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to make Oakbridge a great place to live!

Notice of Special Meeting & Insurance Information
NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING
OAKBRIDGE CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION
10/19/10
To: All Oakbridge Condominium Owners
There will be a Special Meeting of the Oakbridge Condominium Owners Association held on November 4, 2010 at 7:00 PM at Perkins Restaurant located at 3295 E. Platte Ave. (corner of Chelton & Platte).
The purpose of this Special Meeting is to discuss financial considerations of the Oakbridge Condominium Owners Association.
This past summer we did quite a few upgrades around the complex. One goal of the upgrade was to have the roof of each building inspected for damage. Results of the inspection show that all the roofs have hail and wind damage.
Every roof needs to be repaired or replaced. The last time roofs were replaced, or any major work was done on any roof, was almost 20 years ago. In that time, we have had a few major storms and a lot of hail. There is damage to not only shingles, but some damage to the underlay of the roofs on a few buildings.
In order to replace roofs and fund the replacement cost we will be discussing how best to come up with the amount of money that we need. A Special Assessment of $200.00 to $300.00 for each unit/homeowner is a possibility, but we will discuss other options also.
Enclosed, please find a letter to homeowners from the HOA’s insurance company and management company, explaining how to change your personal insurance policy in order to cover special assessments for damage such as this that may arise.
A vote of the full membership will be taken at this meeting; therefore your presence is strongly encouraged. If you cannot attend, your proxy must be received no later than November 3, 2010 at the office of Courtney and Courtney. Keep in mind that if you send a proxy we will be voting on spending large amounts of money, so whoever you give your proxy to will be voting on your behalf.
Please come to this meeting to voice your concerns and help us find a satisfactory solution.
Sincerely,
The Oakbridge COA Board of Managers
Steve Kouri, Courtney and Courtney

Dear Oakbridge Homeowner;
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of a very important change in our Association’s master property insurance policy. Please read it carefully as this change may require you to amend your own Homeowners insurance policy to avoid any gap in coverage.
Our Association’s master property policy has a $1,000.00 deductible for losses other than wind and hail and a 1% per building deductible for wind and hail losses. The per building deductible for wind and hail losses is a change from last year. We want to make certain that all owners are aware of this new wind and hail deductible.
As an owner, you may be responsible for the deductible when a loss occurs. For wind and hail losses the Association may need to assess owners for a portion of the deductible. CB Insurance, our insurance Broker, has advised us that you can cover this deductible in your personal Homeowners policy, commonly called an HO-6 policy. This is customarily accomplished by two coverage provisions in your personal Homeowners policy. The first provision is called Dwelling and the second provision is called Loss Assessment. CB Insurance suggests that each unit owner carry at least $ 1,000.00 on dwelling and $ 1,000.00 on Loss Assessment. Many personal Homeowners policies include a limit for Dwelling and Loss Assessment automatically. If the automatic limits are not enough, most carriers will allow them to be increased at a very low cost to you.
Again, most of the major personal Homeowners insurance carriers provide this coverage, but each insurance carrier is different. There may be some who do not wish to provide the coverage. We strongly recommend that you contact your personal Homeowners insurance agent and/or carrier to make sure that your personal Homeowners insurance policy has adequate limits for Dwelling and Loss Assessment.
You or your agent may contact Andy Cobb (477-4277) or Linda Engle (477-4272) at CB Insurance to assist you in coordinating your personal insurance.
Respectfully,
Steve Kouri
Community Association Manager

Summer Newsletter
Oakbridge Condominiums
July 2010
Greetings!
Summer already! Hot weather, green grass, and lots going on!
There have been some exciting changes in the last few months here at Oakbridge.
Courtney & Courtney is our new property management company. Steve Kouri is our contact and can be reached at 719-260-8216. C&C's address is 4740 Flintridge Drive, Suite 201 Colorado Springs, CO 80918. We're so happy to welcome Steve to our managing team!
Larissa McPheeters has resigned her position on the Board of Managers, effective June 21, 2010. The Board has appointed Devon Ryan (749B) to Larissa’s position. Welcome, Devon!
Welcome new residents, Sharon Spady in 781A and Jerad Dody in 781B!
If you see the new residents out and about, please say hi and introduce yourself!
Landscaping
The HOA Board of managers has contracted with a new landscaping company to keep our grounds looking tip-top. HT Ground Maintenance will be doing our landscaping and snow removal for the year. If you have any concerns about the landscaping, please let us know and we will pass your thoughts on to HT Landscaping.
The grass that was damaged by dogs is slowly regrowing. We ask that all dog owners continue to pick up after their pets and keep the common areas clean. Several boxes have been installed on the grounds for easy access to plastic bags for dog waste clean-up. Please dispose of the bagged waste in an appropriate manner. Feel free to stuff the boxes with any extra grocery/newspaper bags that you may have!
The flower beds and bushes continue to be tended by the Nicholls and Michael High. Due to these residents' diligent care, the foliage around the complex is looking healthy and happy. Mr. High will continue to trim bushes throughout the summer to keep them looking great. Over the last couple of years, they have really blossomed under his care. If you see Chris & Nicky and Michael out tending bushes and flowerbeds, please offer your thanks. Their willingness to volunteer their time and energy helps us manage the Oakbridge budget. Many thanks to these caring volunteers!
Summer Projects
We have several HUGE projects planned!
Painting: We will begin painting the exterior of the buildings in early July. All buildings will be painted, and the exterior of each repaired as needed. Watch for the "area prep notice" that will be taped to your door as the project commencement date nears. All area prep instructions will need to be followed exactly in order to have the project completed in a timely manner and within budget. Consider this an early notice for everyone to get started moving personal items away from the exterior buildings!
Parking Lot: The parking lot will be cleaned, resealed, and restriped. Several areas will be repaired or filled in as needed. During the parking lot repair you will be asked to park all of your vehicles on the street. Repair will take about 3 days, and no cars will be allowed on the lot for those 3 days. We will let you know the schedule as soon as we have it.
Fence Repair: The last section of the east perimeter fence will be replaced, and several unit-separating fences will be replaced or repaired as well. We will let specific unit owners/residents know when they will need to leave patio gates unlocked for the fencing crew. All items on the back patio will need to be moved away from the fences so the crew can get in and get the job done.
As the various crews are here working, please let them know how much we appreciate the job they are doing. It has been a long process – taking bids, making calls, sending emails, checking budgets – to get them here. If you have any concerns regarding the exterior of your building, please let the Board know about them NOW so that we can address those concerns with the crews. You can contact Steve Kouri at the number above or send the Board an email at oakbridgehoa@yahoo.com.
Reminders
Pets: The Board of Managers continues to receive complaints regarding dogs running unleashed on Oakbridge grounds. The Rules & Regulations clearly state that all dogs must be leashed when on Oakbridge grounds. This is for the comfort and safety of all residents as well as the safety of your pet. Additionally, several residents are still very unhappy with the amount of dog excrement in the common areas. This not only poses a serious health hazard to the residents of Oakbridge, it is also a violation of City ordinances. The Board would like to remind all dog owners that they are in violation of the Rules & Regulations if they do not clean up after their pet.

Oakbridge Condominiums
July 2010
Greetings!
Summer already! Hot weather, green grass, and lots going on!
There have been some exciting changes in the last few months here at Oakbridge.
Courtney & Courtney is our new property management company. Steve Kouri is our contact and can be reached at 719-260-8216. C&C's address is 4740 Flintridge Drive, Suite 201 Colorado Springs, CO 80918. We're so happy to welcome Steve to our managing team!
Larissa McPheeters has resigned her position on the Board of Managers, effective June 21, 2010. The Board has appointed Devon Ryan (749B) to Larissa’s position. Welcome, Devon!
Welcome new residents, Sharon Spady in 781A and Jerad Dody in 781B!
If you see the new residents out and about, please say hi and introduce yourself!
Landscaping
The HOA Board of managers has contracted with a new landscaping company to keep our grounds looking tip-top. HT Ground Maintenance will be doing our landscaping and snow removal for the year. If you have any concerns about the landscaping, please let us know and we will pass your thoughts on to HT Landscaping.
The grass that was damaged by dogs is slowly regrowing. We ask that all dog owners continue to pick up after their pets and keep the common areas clean. Several boxes have been installed on the grounds for easy access to plastic bags for dog waste clean-up. Please dispose of the bagged waste in an appropriate manner. Feel free to stuff the boxes with any extra grocery/newspaper bags that you may have!
The flower beds and bushes continue to be tended by the Nicholls and Michael High. Due to these residents' diligent care, the foliage around the complex is looking healthy and happy. Mr. High will continue to trim bushes throughout the summer to keep them looking great. Over the last couple of years, they have really blossomed under his care. If you see Chris & Nicky and Michael out tending bushes and flowerbeds, please offer your thanks. Their willingness to volunteer their time and energy helps us manage the Oakbridge budget. Many thanks to these caring volunteers!
Summer Projects
We have several HUGE projects planned!
Painting: We will begin painting the exterior of the buildings in early July. All buildings will be painted, and the exterior of each repaired as needed. Watch for the "area prep notice" that will be taped to your door as the project commencement date nears. All area prep instructions will need to be followed exactly in order to have the project completed in a timely manner and within budget. Consider this an early notice for everyone to get started moving personal items away from the exterior buildings!
Parking Lot: The parking lot will be cleaned, resealed, and restriped. Several areas will be repaired or filled in as needed. During the parking lot repair you will be asked to park all of your vehicles on the street. Repair will take about 3 days, and no cars will be allowed on the lot for those 3 days. We will let you know the schedule as soon as we have it.
Fence Repair: The last section of the east perimeter fence will be replaced, and several unit-separating fences will be replaced or repaired as well. We will let specific unit owners/residents know when they will need to leave patio gates unlocked for the fencing crew. All items on the back patio will need to be moved away from the fences so the crew can get in and get the job done.
As the various crews are here working, please let them know how much we appreciate the job they are doing. It has been a long process – taking bids, making calls, sending emails, checking budgets – to get them here. If you have any concerns regarding the exterior of your building, please let the Board know about them NOW so that we can address those concerns with the crews. You can contact Steve Kouri at the number above or send the Board an email at oakbridgehoa@yahoo.com.
Reminders
Pets: The Board of Managers continues to receive complaints regarding dogs running unleashed on Oakbridge grounds. The Rules & Regulations clearly state that all dogs must be leashed when on Oakbridge grounds. This is for the comfort and safety of all residents as well as the safety of your pet. Additionally, several residents are still very unhappy with the amount of dog excrement in the common areas. This not only poses a serious health hazard to the residents of Oakbridge, it is also a violation of City ordinances. The Board would like to remind all dog owners that they are in violation of the Rules & Regulations if they do not clean up after their pet. Out of consideration for your neighbors and the maintenance crews, please clean up after your pet!
