Eden Area General Plan update -- The administrator met with the Planning Dept., the Consultant and others to get an update of the general plan. The consultant will be reviewing the changes which have been submitted to him over the past several months. The next step would be to have a general community meeting for a final review. If the State doesn't require any further environmental information this process should be completed in about six months.

Informational Items -- The Administrator reported that she had no informational items to report.

6.0 OTHER BUSINESS (Motion may be required) -- The Administrator requested that item 6.2 be presented first since County staff was present to hear the discussion. The Board concurred.

6.2 Standard for ATT boxes -- The Administrator introduced Crystal Hishida Graff, Clerk, Board of Supervisors who will be the County's liaison for ATT activities relating to installation of boxes in the unincorporated county. The Administrator indicated at least two residents complained because ATT installed these boxes, which are approximately four by five feet and were not notified in advance. She also indicated that when ATT presented information at the unincorporated meeting a year ago, they promised adequate landscaping.

Comments by Kathy Ready also indicated that she believes the large wires are unsightly. There will be a meeting within the month with ATT and the County to discuss this.

6.1 Update of Enforcement of CC&R Policy -- Kathy Martins has been advocating a policy whereby homeowners who do not pay their CC&R fines would be referred to collections.

6.3 Select an auditor for FY 07-08 -- The Administrator is recommending to the Board that they select Levy, Erlanger, & Company as our Auditor this year. They have an excellent reputation, and since they primarily deal with homeowner associations give us a good price for their work ($3,295 bid for this year's audit).
