    \topic{Quorum} A quorum was not established and after the
    requisite waiting period of ten minutes the assembled members were
    declared a quorum and meeting was brought to order at 4:15pm.  The
    size of the quorum was determined to be 7 members, meaning that a
    2/3 majority would require at least 5 votes.

    \topic{Proxies}A request for proxies was made, but none were
    offered.

    \topic{Minutes} After a brief discussion, Wil made a motion to
    accept the previous minutes.  Seconded by Henry, and approved
    unanimously.

    \topic{President's Report} Tim thanked the members of the board
    for their help and support.  He reported that the work on the
    water system has been completed.  The water tank has been
    repainted, and stairs added for easier access.  The pump house has
    been rewired, and heavier breakers have been installed.  The
    electric bill is now in our name, and the water meter is almost
    back to where it should be.  The new well in Riberias has so far
    not had any effect on our water level, which is good.

    \topic{Treasurer's report} All of the dues and special assessments
    have been collected except for the (now three) long term morosos.
    Casa 35 (Rosas) is now delinquent.  We are continuing to have
    trouble fulfilling the governments requirement that we file our
    taxes electronically.  Banks are only setup to handle such
    accounts for large organizations.  We have set aside 32186 pesos
    from the 2010 budget to pay the 2009 and 2010 taxes, but we are
    unable to pay them until the bank account is straightened out.
    Henry motioned and D'arc seconded that the treasurer's report be
    accepted.  Approved unanimously.

    \topic{Old Business} Will reminded the association that the CNA
    concession needs to be renewed.  The concession is due to expire
    in August of 2012, and Tim commented that the renewal cannot be
    attempted more than one year in advance.  We will be sure to start
    the renewal process in August of 2011.

    \topic{New Business} We discussed the exact wording of the
    homeowners dues policy.  The following text will be included in
    future yearly bills and special assessments:

    \begin{minipage}{.8\linewidth}
      \textit{Failure to pay all dues and water overages by the date indicated
      (30 days from date of bill,) or to make alternative arrangements
      with the Treasurer before that time, shall cause interest on any
      unpaid amount to accrue at 4\% per month.  Continued
      noncompliance (failure to pay by 60 days from the date of the
      bill) shall result in the cessation of water delivery to the
      residence in question.}
    \end{minipage}

    \noindent Tim spoke with attorney Brennon about the previous judgement
    against casas 26 and 27.  The gist of it was that we (\acldm{})
    lost that judgement, and casa 26 and 27 will not owe anything to
    the association, even when they are sold.  He explained that in
    Mexico there are two distinct types of homeowners associations,
    namely fraccionamientos and condominiums.  The laws pertaining to
    fraccionamientos have very \emph{few teeth,} while those
    pertaining to condominium associations are quite strong. Later
    this year we will investigate the cost and implications of
    expanding the Villa Alta condominium association to encompass the
    entire fraccionamiento.

    Tim led a discussion about potential preventative maintenance
    projects.  These will only be considered if there are still
    sufficient funds in the treasury in November 2011.  Three were up
    for discussion.

    \begin{enumerate}
    \item The underground pipes throughout the frac are now almost 30
      years old, and may fail at any time.  Should we replace the
      underground piping system that leads from the stairs at the well
      down to casa \#8 The estimated cost is \$75K pesos for this
      project, and we consider it the first stage in the eventual
      replacement of all underground piping.
    \item After comparing photos taken before and after the rains this
      summer, should we construct 3 new reinforced concrete
      buttresses, and repoint cracks in the wall supporting the road
      up to VA, cost not to exceed \$55K pesos.
    \item Should we repaint and repair the curbs and the bottoms of
      the telephone poles white, as was done up at Via Alta, for a
      cost not to exceed \$12K pesos?
    \end{enumerate}

    After a lively interchange, it was decided that, funds permitting,
    item 1 would be our first priority, item 2 our second, and item 3
    would be shelved.

    \topic{Adjournment} Meeting adjourned at 5:08 pm.
