Minutes from May 2008 meeting were approved; motion carried.

 

Issue 1:  Pool Report

Due to recent high winds, an umbrella was damaged as was a car in the parking lot.    Bill attached the umbrellas to the tables to prevent future damage.  We asked the Homeowner to obtain two estimates to repair the hood.  Depending on the amount, we may turn it in to our General Liability insurance. 

 

Issue 2- Association Day at the Pool

Sean Flaherty suggested a day at the Pool for the Homeowners. Some Saturday in July?  Overall, we think it is a great idea.  The Board could provide some hotdogs/burgers, ice.  Etc.  Board was going to communicate back to Sean.

 

Issue 3: SQUIRT GUN USE AT THE POOL

Bill prepared a handout or prework.  Discussion was held as to what was safe for the pool and which kinds of guns could be allowed.  Ultimately Bill came up with a memo that will be posted at the pool and handed out to incoming pool people that clarifies what is and what is not acceptable within the fenced area. 

 

Issue 4:  Basin cleanup

Bruner has been hired to clean out he Wendell Basin and all the other basin work needed in Highland Park as a result of the letter received from Bramhall Engineering.  In addition, they will seed the rut in the grass at the Rt 83 entrance on the south side of South Park. 

 

Issue 5 – Pilates in the Park

3 people showed up; no concerns going forward.

 

 

 

 

 

Issue 6 - Mailboxes

Ed will complete his drive by survey and send letters to residents with mailbox issues.  Discussion was held as to whether we will approve the synthetic mailboxes? We decided to wait until that mailbox has been in a full year and then make the decision.  Lingering concerns remain regarding the pointed tops and being able to reproduce that look. 

 

Issue 7 – Welcome Committee?

Discussion was held as to the formation of a Welcome Team – would provide the directory, last newsletter and deed restrictions to new residents as well as a friendly hello.  Ed can bring lists of all new residents to meetings and Carlyle can get the packets ready and mailed out.  The Board can then follow up. 

 

Issue 8 – GOALS FOR 2008?

  • Balanced budget
  • No pool closures
  • Directory roll out
  • Liability & Risk assessment
  • Pick and implement  items from the survey results

 

Deferred until next time?
