~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Renton Fire Department – Battalion Chief and Safety Officer Greg Hartman of Renton Fire was present to report. His items worth noting are:
It is illegal to possess or discharge fireworks of any kind within the City of Renton limits all throughout the year including the 4th of July.
If you are within a legal fireworks area please be responsible.
He noted that on May 24th some coals from a barbeque were discarded while still hot and caught the deck on fire of a home in the area. The deck fire spread to the home. This was a totally preventable fire!
Homeowner Appeals – There were no owners in attendance to appeal however the board discussed the legal fees associated with homes in lien status. The Board decided to revamp the collection letters and discuss with the HOA attorney the lengths to which their services are required.
Community Events – Eileen reminded everyone that the Annual Garage Sale is Friday June 29th – Sunday July 1st. The signs will go back up tonight and she will use the event to try to recruit Board Members.

Unfinished Business – Cedar River Sewer and Water denied our claim of reimbursement for broken sprinkler heads in the front entryway from construction completed by the utility. Adrian will give them a call.
