Bin List
The Board of Directors had a special meeting on February 29th to get a head start on some of the BIN items brought before them at the budget meetings and the 2012 Annual Meeting.
The board members looked at each item of the BIN list and determined their weighted value on a scale from 1 to 4. The four weights were 4, “Immediate Consideration”; 3 “Consideration”; 2 “Low Consideration” and 1 “Research”. From there we summed for each item the weight given by each board member, resulting in the list below, sorted in highest to lowest priority.

Currently the Board of Directors is looking at the top 10 items.
There are some items in the bottom half which are also easily taken care of. For example the “Lawn Maintenance” contract has been modified to exclude “mulching”.
Pool Hours
The swimming pool hours have been reduced by half in order to adjust our budget based on the Annual Dues of $400.00. The Board of Directors did accept a motion at the March 14th Board of Directors meeting to have the pool open all of Spring Break but return to the reduced hours at the close of Sunday, 25th March.
The “Reduced Hours”, the pool will be open Thursday thru Sunday from noon to sunset (or 8:30 P.M.) Monday through Thursday noon the pool will be closed and the electricity turned off. This is eighty-four of the one hundred sixty-eight hours of a week or half a week.
Pool Open Hours
- Thursday 12pm - 8:30pm
- Friday 8am - 8:30pm
- Saturday 8am - 8:30pm
- Sunday 8am - 8:30pm
The Board of Directors will keep a watchful eye on the cash flow and the possibility of having the pool open longer during the summer months when school is out. We shall see.
The City of Sanford Pool Inspector has already been contacted and we have received his reply which does not preclude us from following this plan.
Monthly Meetings
Meetings are always held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month and we really need and appreciate all members who are able joining us. As a group we are much more productive. We need your ideas and welcome suggestions on how to make Sanora the best we can make it for all residents.

Reminder: The annual dues are due on March 1 and are .

Entranceway Appearance
A message from Pat See
I think it would be nice to thank & recognize the hard work & expense that Mark Leppla of 103 Sanora Blvd has put into the Sanora Entrance to make it a low maintenance nice looking area.
Message from the Board of Directors
I am sure many of the homeowners here in Sanora HOA would agree with Pat's statement. Mark has done an excellent job with the entrance island and there has definitely been a change in the appearance.
Mark came to us at April's (2012) Board of Directors meeting with a couple of requests, one being to turn the Sanora signs back on so people can find the entrance easier. The second was Mark offered to spearhead changing the plants on the island to a more maintenance free arrangement much like he has done with his own yard. Mark put a lot of sweat and muscle into the job. Mark not only offered to lead the project but to pay for it.
Update from Mark Leppla
This took me 40 hrs, 42 bags of weeds, trash and trimmings, 20 wheel barrows of dirt, 11 cubic yards of mulch and 650 yards of weed block. It was my pleasure to help make our entrance look nice. I would like you to thank Joe Mills, he helped me several hours one day. I know it’s not a lot of plants but during these times, low maintenance is the way to go.
By-Laws; Article II;Section 3, Annual Dues”
Thursday night, April 19th 2012 a Special Meeting of Sanora Homeowners’ Association was held at the clubhouse at 8:00 P.M. Of the 126 homeowners in good standing, forty-seven (47) were either present at the meeting or represented by proxy, forty-two homes were required to hold this meeting, and therefore we had a quorum.
The changes were re-read then the vote was taken. Each residence is entitled to two votes.
The results: 85 – Yea, 7 – Nay and 2 – Abstained
47 homes x 2 votes = 94 possible votes = 85 yea + 7 nay +2 abs.
The changes to the By-Laws; Article II – General Membership; Section 3, Annual Dues” has passed as previously stated and are adopted.
