it goes to the attorney for review and finalization. Mr. Luff has
volunteered to be the chairperson for the project. Mr. Jones has
spoken with several homeowners whoe hte Board feels could help with the
revision process. Invitations will be issued to the following peole inviting
them to assist:
Fumiko Takemura, Leo Presiado, Elmer BIeggerstaff and Charlie Oliver.

rough draft should take approximately 4-6 months to review and give to
the Attorney for his review and a final approval should take approximately
6-8 months to complete.
Management informed the Board that the cost for a complete re-write
of the By-Laws and CC&R's would cost approx. $5000. By using
