A message from your Board of Directors:

Hello Neighbors,
As Spring approaches, your new Board is looking forward to making some changes in how ETA responds to your needs. Stay tuned.

Some important news of note:
Following the resignation of Bill Skillern, Nick Musgrave [ ] was appointed to the Board and elected President. Nick has served ETA previously as Treasurer and Board President.

ETA has also gained a Treasurer. Doug Cone [ ] is currently learning more about the ins and outs of our finances. As Treasurer, Doug will also serve as the Chair of the Budget/Finance Committee.

ETA is still searching for someone who can serve as the Chair of the Building Committee, ably headed by Larry Corlew until last fall. There is an existing committee but no leader.

One more of our standing committees remains unchaired, the Pool Committee. With Summer on the horizon, we need someone to set up the procedures for opening the pool- no maintenance or wet suit required.

The Board would like to thank Bill Skillern for his service to the community, including the last year as President. Bill has agreed to continue on the important Building Committee.

At our January 22nd General Meeting the subject of the proposed amendments to the CC&Rs was raised - and justifiably so. At the present time possible changes to the CC&Rs are being held in abeyance.

Please refer to the January issue of your FYI regarding the financial needs of our Association. The Board is committed to maintaining our property values and the enjoyment of living in this beautiful community. Doing nothing to ensure this is not an option.

Currently the Board is considering whether a management company should be a part of the future of this Association. Investigating this option seems to be more important at this time than pursuing changes to our CC&Rs.

A sub-committee of the Board is researching management company options and will be getting back to all homeowners with the results of their research and asking for your opinion.

Association News

Hospitality Reminder:
You are invited to join your ETA neighbors for a Mid Winter Wine Tasting Social at the clubhouse on Friday evening, February 22 from 6:30 PM until 9 PM. We'll ignite the fireplace and turn an otherwise dreary winter evening into a cozy and fun event. Bring a bottle of your favorite wine and a plate of your favorite appetizers (if you wish) to share with your neighbors (and your own wine glass if you are so inclined.) Non-wine connoisseurs are also invited. For those who would like an escort to and/or from the event (for safety reasons), one can be provided by contacting the HIilliards at [ ]

A "New" Hospitality Opportunity - A Potluck:
Please join your neighbors for a potluck on Sunday, March 2, at 5:00 PM at the clubhouse. Bring a dish to share (with a marked serving utensil) and your own beverage. We will provide plates and forks. This Sunday supper experience brought to you by Toni Horodysky [ ] , Gwen Acker, and Clara Nistler.

Clubhouse notes:
The Clubhouse door is acting peculiar again, closing slowly and not completely. When leaving and securing the Clubhouse, please wait for the door to close completely. You may need to push it to catch the latch.

The Clubhouse Chair is still in need of committee people who can help monitor clubhouse needs. Please contact Nancy Callaghan [ ].

Game won:
Clubhouse Committee Chair Nancy Callaghan thanks the contributors who put the final ping in our pong: Gwen Acker, Doug Cone, Russ Fryburg, and Dixie Maurer-Clemons.

Garage Door Maintenance Tips:
With our garage doors showing the struggle to get through the rainy season, it's a good time to see what you can do to extend your door's life. (Or to call a technician.)

Check all springs and cables for signs of wear and tear.

Make sure all bolts holding everything together are in place and tight.

Listen for how hard the door is hitting the pavement in the closing process. If it's too noisy, something may be amiss and the jarring of closing may cause further damage.

From one of the door technicians: Lubricate the hinges with silicone spray or WD4O; lubricate the rollers with 30W oil when the door is down.

It is not true that chewing gum in the corners of the panels has been found to be a good reinforcement. It's really gnu dung that'll do the trick. (I know ...garage doors=no joke)

Changes to Community Resources Directory:
[omitted]

Arrivals and Departures:
Polly Reuhl, formerly [ ] , has recently moved to Emerald Valley Assisted Living. Her phone number is still the same for anyone who wants to keep in touch.
Doris Kottwitz, formerly [ ] , died while visiting her family in California over the holidays.
Eula Mae Codding, formerly of [ ] , died January 27 at the age of 81. According to her obituary, remembrances may be made to the Alzheimer's Association Cascade Coast Chapter in Eugene.

Arrivals and Departures will be featured regularly as news of our present and former neighbors becomes known. Please notify the FYI editor as you become aware of news of note.

Greetings from the Grounds Committee February 8 2008
Susan Smith has been serving as the head of the Grounds Committee for the past 7 months. We greatly appreciate her hundreds of hours of volunteer work on behalf of us all. Susan will be taking a break & Joan Fulton will be stepping into the primary chairperson role at this time.

A list of formal requests & suggestions by the Grounds Committee, TruGreen & Clearview is attached. It is broken down by locations so you all can easily identify your request, or the specific areas in question. Please continue submitting your requests in writing. The forms are in the Clubhouse.

We would love to take care of every request, but money is an issue (isn't it always!). Stump removal, bark mulch, additional plants or planting, & major tree removal/cabling are not part of the budgeted landscaping contracts. We will do our best to resolve items requiring minimal funding & will combine several requests together for efficiency & cost savings.

The dogwood the Backus family wished to donate is presently in the ground in the Backus' patio. On the advice of Jarle Stenersen, TruGreen, the dogwood would be severely compromised if moved & would most likely not survive. It will need to stay where it is & be enjoyed by the new owners. The rest of us will be able to see the top of it above the patio wall.

Creek Cleanup The creek banks are not included in the standard landscaping contract. Wayne has been working on this project & he is focusing on pruning & treating the blackberries & poison oak. Wayne is not able to reach many areas due to steep banks or safety considerations. Again, the ETA (you) & the Board will need to come up with $$$ to properly address the overgrowth & noxious weeds. THANK YOU WAYNE for all your efforts along the creek & also for clearing out the area at the corner of Willamette & Brae Burn.. .we can actually SEE the Edgewood sign!

Landscaping TruGreen's crew (lead by Stacy) has been hard at work. They are here Tuesdays & Wednesdays. We are definitely seeing the results of their efforts & expertise.

Clearview Tree Specialists Dave & Deanne DeVore are focusing for the next few months on safety issues. They will be making recommendations for placing cables in some of our larger trees. The majority of their contracted work will be in the spring when our rhodies & azaleas will require pruning.

Recent Snow Storm We lost an apple tree in front of 10 Brae Burn & 5 rhodies were severely damaged on the Brae Burn side. Many of our rhodies are leggy due to lack of sunlight, age & soil conditions. In heavy snow their branches can easily break, or the entire plant can topple over due to their shallow root system. We are hoping some of these issues will be addressed this spring when Clearview does their major rhodie & azalea pruning. We also ask for your support. If there is a snowstorm in the future, it would greatly help if you would go out with your trusty broom & knock the snow off the rhodies & other vegetation around your own home you could be saving the life of a rhodie! Thanks so much.

GROUNDS COMMITTEE MEETING - FEBRUARY 12, 2008

Wayne Baker & Joan Fulton did a creek walkabout on January 23rd. Wayne is actively spraying OxBow (ground, animal & water neutral) on the blackberries & poison oak & pruning those areas that are safely accessible to him. Wayne will let TruGreen know when there are debris piles to be picked up since the creek area & any debris removal are not a part of the landscaping budget or contract. Small piles will be picked up for no or a minimal fee by TruGreen. TruGreen will bill separately for any additional work. The success of the spraying cannot be determined until spring growth & will most likely require an aggressive digging out approach if we really want to control or eradicate the problem. This will require hiring strong backs, money & Wayne/Grounds Committee overseeing the project

Susan Smith & Joan Fulton met with Jarle Stenersen, TruGreen, on January 26th. The meeting consisted of current needs, ongoing challenging areas & future plans for replacement of plants/trees. Many of our azaleas are past their life cycle as are many of our other shrubs. A plan needs to be in place for planned species replacement over the next 3 - 6 years.

We have quite a few requests for stump removal throughout the property. Average size stump removal cost is between $200 - $225 per stump. We may want to look at what stumps are the most unsightly & use our money judiciously. Again, this is not in the budget of standard landscaping

Leaf/other debris creates habitats for unwelcome insects & potential fire hazard. Therefore, TruGreen will continue with their leaf & debris removal. Also, the messier things look, the more neighbors are inclined to not pick up after their pets. TruGreen will also be doing pre-emergent bed preparation. They will do a first "short mow" in the next month.

TruGreen recommends turf removal around some of our larger trees due to over watering. They also recommend a moss treatment & crane fly treatment for the lawn areas. The cost for this is $252. The Grounds Committee highly recommends this be done. After the application of the moss, the grass will need reseeding in areas. TruGreen will also be addressing resculpting certain areas to allow for proper grass & tree growth.

Removal of snow from driveways, walkways, plants, etc is not part of the landscaping contract with either vendor. TruGreen provided cost figures for snow removal & Wayne Baker & the Board will address how they wish to proceed. This is not within the scope of the Grounds Committee to recommend or proceed with an emergency snow plan of action for the ETA & its members. Therefore the Grounds Committee is leaving it in the capable hands of others.

Thank you Gloria Gehrman for being the liaison between the Grounds Committee & The Board.

FYI for February - A request to ETA members to broom off vegetation during heavy snow fall is included in the FYI for February. Also, there is a list of grounds requests by locations. This was sent to the Board previously

Joan Fulton, Co-Chair, Grounds Committee

Edgewood Townehouse Association Committees

Brae Burn Creek Committee: Committee formed in 2001 to address urgent stabilization and enhancement work needed along approximately 1200 feet of Brae Burn Creek that runs through ETA property. Chair calls meetings as needed and reports to the Board at its regular meetings. Works with Project Manager and Project Engineers to implement plans for alleviating creek erosion problems.)

Budget & Finance Committee This committee considers budget requests of Buildings, Clubhouse, and Grounds Committees at first meeting in May. Reviews historical expenditures; looks for expenses that can be reduced or eliminated; determines a proposed Annual Maintenance Assessment for the next year that will provide adequate funding for all operations. Submits written reports and recommendations to the ETA Board of directors in September along with clarifying information.

Archit/Buildings Committee Is concerned with exterior appearance and condition of Association buildings and direction signposts. Does walk-arounds to observe and discuss appearance and condition of structures in the ETA complex. Meets as necessary to consider request of Association members. Requires owners considering any change to building exterior (including porches and visible decks) to submit their proposal in writing, with a sketch if appropriate, to committee contact person and receive written committee approval before proceeding. Denials may be appealed to the Board. Regular building maintenance concerns should be reported to ETA Facilities Maintenance Manager. Chair submits annual budget request to budget committee in May and provides a monthly summary of committee concerns and recommendation to ETA President in writing or orally at regular Board meetings.

Clubhouse Committee Meets several times each year and advises the Board of special needs at the Clubhouse, e.g., new equipment, or concerns about Clubhouse use. Is not concerned with regular maintenance and repair. Chair submits annual budget request to budget committee in May and reports concerns and recommendations to ETA President in writing or orally at regular Board meetings.

FYI Committee: Prepares monthly newsletters and special editions; writes articles; formats and prepares newsletter for printing. Association members wishing to include material must provide this to the editor luring the second week of each month. Maintains ETA Directory/Roster.

Grounds Committee Committee oversees four grounds programs: 1) trees; 2) plants and shrubs; 3) lawns and ground covers; and 4) irrigation. Meetings are held as needed to discuss and decide on program activities. Walk-arounds to observe problems and progress in grounds matters are scheduled as needed.

Chair is liaison with ETA Manager for implementing program work; oversees expenditures; keeps records of any contractor proposals; reviews processes, decisions, program activities, and costs, including costs of annual grounds maintenance contract. ETA Board approves the contract. Chair receives grounds maintenance requests from ETA residents; is liaison for day to day mailers and concerns with ETA Manager who does program work or initiates and oversees contractor work activities; and submits annual budget request to Budget committee in May.

Hospitality Committee Reviews hospitality packet and keeps it up-to-date. Welcomes each new Association member; provides them with the packet; answers questions or directs new members to someone who can. Chair reports each month to President by telephone or in person at the Board meeting.

Neighborhood Watch Committee Telephone coordination replaces formal meetings. Members act as "block captains." Chair explains general concerns of this committee to members and asks them to report unusual circumstance to her, the ETA Manager, or ETA President. Manager or President follows through with any necessary action. Chair keeps track of make and license information for residents' vehicles.

Pool Committee Meets at the beginning of each year to check the condition of regulation and other pool-related signs to insure that clear written instructions are posted. Observes pool use and reports any problems to the ETA Manager. Creates list posted in the pool area of Association members who have signed and submitted permission-to-use-the-pool slips. Is not concerned with regular maintenance and repair. Chair submits annual budget request to budget committee in May.

Telephone Committee This seven-member committee does not meet formally, but functions smoothly to notify ETA residents of meetings and other events, as requested by the Association President.
