Minutes from November 2009 meeting were approved.  Sent to Sean for website posting.

 

Thank You to Bill for holiday lights.

Thank You to Jeanne for coordination of the Fall Newsletter distributed in November.

 

Issue 1:  Ed will be providing an updated listing of homeowners so that we can move forward on the Directory.  Jeanne will take over the project from Kevin.

 

Issue 2:  Brief discussion about Vector Security and current processes.  Ed was going to find out if we can key in all of our own changes so that we do not have to pay service calls/fees for them to come out and activate/deactivate homeowners. Develop the written procedures so that we understand how to make the changes ourselves.  We are usually charged $75 for the service call plus however long they are there.

 

Issue 3:   Review of delinquent accounts.  Motion was made and carried that  the Board will deactivate that homeowner’s pool card if a Homeowner is delinquent and hasn’t paid within  60 days of due date.   Can we suspend card due to non payment matters?   New process will be detailed in Spring newsletter and will appear with the annual invoice as comments to give residents ample notice of this new process.

 

Issue 4:  Budget review of year 2009.  We had an awesome year and are slightly under budget with actual results.  We have to ask Bramhall how much the basin inspections will cost as we will have to fund those going forward.   Bill is going to close down the Buckeye account.  Review of who is on the bank accounts and who needs to be on the accounts going forward.   

 

Issue 5:  Ed will send Jeanne the HPHOA insurance policy to review.

 

Issue 6:  New basin discussion – assumption is when the homes surrounding that basin are completed, final work will occur on that basin.    In the meanwhile, a motion was made to ask developer to spray basin for mosquitos due to standing water issues.  Ed pointed out that Lorain County Board of Health will spray.   Ed will discuss basin turnover expectations that the Board has with K & C.    What can we do as a board to accept or reject a basin?  See separate memo to Mike Bramhall regarding other basin oriented matters.

 

 

Issue 7:  Reserves Analysis conversation.  It costs about $3-$4,000 to hire a firm to prepare an Reserve analysis.  Ed pointed out that there is a new law about to be introduced that give Homeowners rights regarding the reserves a Board should have and when is too much?
