    \topic{Old Business}

    \subtopic{The Well}
    The pump stopped working for several hours a few days ago.  It was
    recommended that a larger breaker and heavier gauge wire be
    installed to support the larger current requirements of the new
    pump.  Ruth also noted that the electric costs of the pump have
    risen, but so far not dramatically.

    \subtopic{The special assessment and 2011 Dues}
    At this point we believe that we have collected all of the special
    assessment payments and 2011 dues that we will collect for the
    year.

    
    \subtopic{Enforcement of installing water restriction valves}
    When Tim, armed with an attorney's letter, tried to install a
    restriction valve he was once again threatened with police by the
    owner's massed family. Attorney Macias then said that while we
    were legally right, Tim and the plumber should not expose
    themselves to this confrontation. He said we should obtain a
    \emph{Bulldog lawyer,} and possibly a policeman to accompany the
    plumber. Macias then said he would try and find us such a
    lawyer. Installation of the valve on hold till then.


    \subtopic{Use of valves to restrict water to morosos} 
    After major resistance to installing a valve Tim reviewed the
    situation with attorney Macias.  Despite our charter from Comision
    Nacional del Agua, he could not legally support the complete cut
    off of water. He could support use of 90\% restriction valves, and
    referred Tim to La Floresta, where they are using them
    successfully.  It turns out that 90\% valves are not readily
    available.  The board approved the purchase of 5 of such valves,
    to be kept in inventory.

    \subtopic{Accounting}
    Ruth reviewed the expenses, and we are on track to get through the
    rest of the year.  

    \topic{New Business}
    
    \subtopic{Establish dates for interest accrual}
    For people not paying their dues or special assessments on time,
    Interest will start the month following when the fees were due.
    For example: due Jan 31, interest starts on Feb 1.

    \subtopic{Protocolized Minutes of the GA meeting} 
    These are still pending.  

    \subtopic{New HOA documents}
    We decided to republish the current HOA documents in both English
    and Spanish, and distribute them to existing and future
    homeowners.  The attorney is in the process of translating them.

    \subtopic{Water Tank}
    The water tank needs repair and repainting.  In addition, a set of
    stairs needs to be constructed to make access more convenient.  The
    board approved Clemente's bid of approximately \$5000 pesos to
    complete this project.

    \subtopic{Status of previous legal judgement}
    About four years ago the legal pursuit of Toledo's debt on casa
    27,28 by the Fracc.  was terminated after significant sums were
    spent. The theory at that time was that we had won a judgement,
    but not a payment. The payment was not stipulated because the
    documentation of the actual amount owed was poor.  The GA felt
    that if we had the judgement we could improve the documentation
    and when and if the properties were sold we could submit for
    payment prior to the change of ownership. The veracity of our then
    lawyer has since been impugned , and Tim suggested that we allot a
    small amount of money to have a new attorney review the judgement,
    see if we were correct in our assumptions, and make sure that our
    position was protected in case there was some sort of time limit.


    \topic{Adjournment} Meeting adjourned at 5:30 pm.
