Owners may address The Board – 2 minutes for each homeowner – collectively 30 minutes maximum. (Written submissions accepted over 30 minute time limit.)
- A homeowner requested that a light by her garage be replaced.

The Board explained that they have levied fines even for washing a car with a bucket. Car washing in Playmor is not allowed under any circumstances.
- A homeowner requested that she be given permission to have a tree in the common area trimmed for better satellite dish reception offering to pay for it herself. Linda from the landscaping committee will look into her request and contact the office with a response or suggestion after looking at the tree.
- A homeowner requested that the Board consider accelerating the painting of her building before its scheduled time. She noted significant deterioration at the unit next door to her as the worst. Manager agreed that it was very bad, but cited that the community as a whole is behind on exterior painting and the Board has allocated funding for seven specific buildings to be painted this year.
- A homeowner noted that they were aware of a vehicle being broken into and requested extra lighting on the garage wall near where the vandalism occurred. Manager will look into this request.
- A homeowner requested that brighter lighting be installed on the garage wall where he parks his vehicle. He suggested even a motion sensor light, citing a recent vehicle theft as the source of his concern. Manager will look into this request as well and report back to the Board at the next meeting. This homeowner also questioned if the Board could do more to enforce the 1 year leasing requirement stated in the rules book. The Board is consistently attempting to enforce this rule.
- A tenant noted that a large van was parking in the assigned space next to hers that appears to be inoperable as the vehicle never moves and is covered at all times. She requested that the board contact the owner about this issue. Manager will investigate.
