Q1 Should we take out all the destructive and diseased trees at once or in increments by section (1, 2 & 3)? On a per tree basis, it would likely be cheaper to take them all out at once (Tracy Butzko is checking on that). However, the cost for removing and grinding all the trees needing removal may be more than the Reserve Fund currently contains. Answered: 82 Skipped: 3 All at once In increments by section 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 All at once 45.12% 37 In increments by section 54.88% 45 82 This one has no consensus. This will require a formal vote at the Annual Meeting. 1/9
Q2 If the decision is to remove all the destructive and diseased trees at once, do you want to install the new trees at once or in increments by section? Not replacing them at once does put the HOA at some risk for a fine from Pierce County (if they inspect the neighborhood and determine we are not in compliance with county statutes).

Another Annual Meeting vote. 4/9

Annual Meeting vote. 5/9
Q6 What would be your choice for financing the tree removal/grinding and tree replacement? Please Note: Depending on cost, the Reserve Fund may not be able to cover the tree removal/grinding and replacement without a Special Assessment. Answered: 84 Skipped: 1 Reserve Fund Special Assessment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Reserve Fund 71.43% 60 Special Assessment 28.57% 24 84 Fairly clear majority prefer the Reserve Fund. Not at all surprising. 6/9
Q7 Based on the pros and cons, as well as costs, with which material (regular concrete or porous concrete) would you prefer to replace the failed/broken sidewalks? Answered: 84 Skipped: 1 Regular concrete (wh... Porous concrete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Regular concrete (what we currently have) 77.38% 65 Porous concrete 22.62% 19 84 This one is easy. Replace with regular concrete. 7/9
Q8 Should we replace the failed and broken sidewalks all at once or in increments by section (1, 2 & 3)? Answered: 84 Skipped: 1 All at once In increments by Section 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 All at once 35.71% 30 In increments by Section 64.29% 54 84 This one also appears to be a solid majority favoring incremental sidewalk replacement. Is this something the ACC or Board can decide based on potential hazard risk? 8/9
Q9 Depending on cost, the Reserve Fund may not contain enough to cover the costs of both the tree and sidewalk work. To not leave the HOA at risk for a trip/fall and potential lawsuit, would you be willing to support a Special Assessment for the sidewalks, if needed? Answered: 84 Skipped: 1 Yes No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Yes 63.1 53 No 36.9 31 84 On the positive side, at least people are willing to consider a Special Assessment if the Reserve Fund gets depleted before the projects are completed. That would require a special vote. Would it also require a special meeting to hold that vote? 9/9
