February minutes as revised were approved.

2. Old Business

Bookkeepers Report: The board unanimously approved the February Financial Statements presented by Jen Frick. Jen notified the board that as of 3/26 80% of homeowners had paid their dues (however, this number was found to be inaccurate at the next board meeting). Jen agreed to send notices to delinquent homeowners in April.

3. Continuing Business

Board Meeting Schedule: Due to multiple board member conflicts, the board agreed that meetings will fall on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. beginning with the April 16th meeting. Gail said we can meet at her house if conflicts with the clubhouse arise.

Garage Sale Status: The annual garage sale is pending due as Steve Bettcher has not heard from Brian Kelly regarding instructions on how to set up the event.

Annual Picnic Committee: Gail agreed to coordinate the committee and may decide later to chair the actual event. Jennie and Jill agreed to help Gail with information from the prior year picnic. Jennie will email villagers who might be interested in participating in the committee. Easter Egg Hunt (this Saturday): volunteers are still needed to help set up for the Easter Egg Hunt. All else seems to be well under way.

Parks Update-stairway bid, tennis court gap issue, etc.: Matt reported that he is soliciting bids on trimming the oak trees at Milford Park some of which are overgrown. Jennie will email Matt with a tree company number. Matt said that the trees are causing the court to buckle and may need to be removed completely or have the tennis court removed. In regards to Onset Park Matt suggested that we put an article in the Crier suggesting that the land be sold back to the homeowners around the park and no longer be SV property. Matt agreed to write the article for the next Crier. Regarding the railing at Milford Matt is still waiting for a bid and will email the bid to board members for approval so we can move ahead on it.

Potential Dunsmuir Housing Development: As far as the board is aware there have been no formal plans submitted to the City of Oakland regarding a housing development above the Dunsmuir Ridge. Brian will continue to monitor the situation through Larry Reid's office.

DSL Proposal: Gail suggested that DSL is already obtainable for the Village which is not what was suggested at the Annual Meeting in January. Gail will follow up with Mark Lee who had been spearheading the project.

4. New Business

Donald Kempton suggestion re: San Leandro Library: Villager Donald Kempton requested that the board look into obtaining San Leandro Library cards for free from the City of San Leandro since we pay into the school taxes and our children need to use the library for school projects. The board agreed that Brian should follow up with this request.

Additional business: Advisory Council: It was brought up that Brian Kelly will be leaving the Village and is currently the Chairperson of the Rec. Center Advisory Council. Other members currently include Jill Warner, Susanna Oto, and Diane Sinagra. Brian Kelly, Susanna Oto and Diane Sinagra are all signers on the Advisory Council checking account. Michelle Fulper advised the board that it is not necessary for the Council to be active and that as a group it does not carry a great deal of political weight, however the more involved the Council is the more likely it is that our Rec. Center will get the programs the Village wants. According to Jill Warner, Toby Abom and the Goldflams have shown an interest in being involved on the Council. Jill may be willing to head up the Council. Michelle agreed to follow up with Jill in getting her in contact with other Councils to see how the meetings are run and how often. Matt Cronin said that he would also like to be involved and would help Jill on a "fact finding mission". Jill, Matt and Michelle agreed to meet regarding the Council in the near future.

Meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m.
