Agenda topics

 

 

Topic Review of Annual Budget

 

 

Discussion

Board is reviewing all contracts and bills paid out on an annual basis to see if we can cut costs anywhere.  Caroline Curran will request copies of all bank statements, phone bills, and contracts from Carolina Property Associates.

 

 

Conclusions

Board has decided to meet again prior to the annual meeting to review all of these items.  Stefanie will provide a breakdown of the new budget.

 

 

 

Topic POOL ISSUES & Budget ITems

 

 

Discussion

The Board discussed the pool area and decided to add into the budget the necessary items needed to maintain and fix the pool area.  i.e. Slippery area near the shallow end of the pool, the concrete lip cracking at the edge of the pool, tile cleaning & one new set of table & chairs.

 

 

Conclusions

After reviewing the estimates for the repair of the pool the board will add to the budget and schedule the repairs for spring prior to the opening of the pool, so that the area will not be disrupted during the season.

 

 

 

Topic Dam RePAIR

 

 

Discussion

Dan is currently reviewing the file of proposals given to the board by a previous board member and was working on obtaining updated quotes as some of them were quite old.  Stefanie is going to do some Beaver research to see if we can replace some of the trees with ones that the Beavers would not eat or put sleeves over current trees. 

 

 

Conclusions

The Board would like to add to the 2009 budget the initial cost for engineering of the dam area, and schedule the work to be done in the spring of 2009.   Upon the receipt of this report and cost schematic a formal meeting will be held for the community to review.  The initial costs for this engineering report are approximately 2,000-3,000.  For the present time the board has decided to not pursue “removing” the beavers as they will come back .  We are looking into alternative ways to combat the problem.

 

 

 

Topic Set Annual Board Meeting Date

 

 

Discussion

The board will have the annual board meeting date no later than the last Tuesday of January 2009.  We as a board would like to review and come fully prepared in front of the community with all of the issues addressed and having proposed solutions.

 

 

Conclusions

Once the board meeting is scheduled it will be held at the Hunt Center.  Sandwich boards will be posted at the entrances of the community, notice will go out by mail along with a current budget, and the date will be posted on the website.
