1.       Has Kennecott Land realized or looked into having Qwest will people directly for the internet fees? This would largely bring down the amount of owed revenue to the HOA and would prevent other Daybreak Homeowners from having to continue absorb the portion unpaid HOA fees that have to do with the Qwest internet services. 

Kennecott Land still is working with Qwest on the new contract and they are pushing for Qwest to start direct billing for internet instead of having it come out of HOA fees. The problem is that the current contract allows them to bill the way they are now, so not sure what to expect here.


2. Considering all the budgets cuts that will be made (some are below) there should be enough funding for CCMC not remove the snow removal services from the Daybreak Townhomes, will the BOD agreed to leave the snow removal services in place? And if cost is an issue will the BOD allow ANY local Daybreak business to bid for the job? (I am sure there are plenty of local businesses can beat the $60,554 we are currently paying) 

Yes I believe the snow removal is staying for now (correct me if I am wrong), The BOD and the HOA office will takes bids from any local company who wants to bid on any of the services that are budgeted for in 2009.

3. Will you allow the residents to view the Eastlake Pool gas and electric bills from last year, the projected bills for 2009 are $29,859 which seems too high? There needs to be validation for the costs and we need to make sure the Daybreak Homeowners are not being charged margins to pay a bill.

Thanks to all of you who attened the BOD meeting, I think it was great to see more homeowners involved. Considering that there were so many homeowners involved last night I only address a few of the questions I had listed on the Daybreakdaily, most of my financial questions I had listed will be answered in a private meeting with Derek at the HOA office in the near future. If you have any questions you want to add let me know.

Here are most of the highlights and updates and some updates I expect to get later today...

the HOA office is trimming the Lake employee budget, there was to be 3 full time employees, now the will only be 1 full time employee (for 5 months) and 3 part time employees, hopefully this is a move that can help trim about 10k off the Homeowners budget.

The BOD (KL) confirmed that there are no scheduled plans to restock the lake any time in the near future, so looks like for now the lake will be fished out.

I am hoping to get an answer today on when the permenant bathroom is being built at the lake so we can get rid of the outhouse.

The BOD is trying to get out of the contract with the vendor who handles the daybreakliving website, the worst case is that the homeowners will continue to have to pay $2500 a month until sometime in 2010, however efforts are in place to get out of the contract sooner than 2010.

The contract with Qwest will be renewed and the prices will not be raised.

And yes there is a pool committee in place working on a proposal for a Founders Village pool to be installed, if you wish to be involved or have any suggestions let me know ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )

The HOA office will be sending out a email or notification within 7 days to introduce all of the HOA and DCC employees, the details will include their name, roles, responsibilities, and I believe an org chart will also be included on this notification so the homeowners know where to go when they need somehting or have a problem.

The BOD/HOA office will be setting up a team/committee (not sure how or what yet) of homeowners that will be working possible landscaping changes in Founders Village.

I am hoing to get conformation or denial if we are getting signs put in place at the Founders Village Basketball /Volleyball courts saying "Daybreak Founders Village Basketball/Volleyball Courts"

The Daybreak security will be monitoring the Basketball/Volleyball courts twice a day every Sat (maybe Sun as well) on foot (yes they will get out of their truck) to make sure there is no alcohol consumption or illegal activities taking place where a lot of the Daybreak Homeowners children play.

I hope to get an update on when the dog park will be completed later today.

If I missed anything please let me know...
