JANUARY 26, 2009   HIGHLAND PARK BOARD OF MANAGERS MEETING

 

Meeting was called to order at 7:30

 

 

Attendees:  Dave Celznick, Bill Mazzolini, Kevin Malinowski, Bob Richenburg &  Jeanne Stark – Highland Park HOA.    Ed Fratus, Carlyle Management 

 

Homeowner issues: 

 

  1. Sean Flaherty proposed that his wife Justine take over the reservation process for the Clubhouse due to some recent frustrations some homeowners experienced in the rental process.  Justine offered an 800#, email, voicemail & cell as some ideas for the process to reach her.  Because she would physically be on site, she could easily move keys to renters and check the facility more often    No additional costs to the Homeowners Association except $10 per paid reservation group to come in after a group has left to make sure the facility is clean.   The Board asked for their ideas for a back up plan for them should they be out of town as an example.  That information is pending.  The Board would also like to check into the existing workflows to see if we can improve the process.  Right now that is that Heather at Carlyle Management takes emails/calls, monitors the website and is supposed to contact people within 2 working days.  Ed to discuss recent situations with Heather.  Board will further discuss at next Board meeting.
  2. Homeowner from Montrose Way voiced his continuing concerns regarding a vehicle parked in a neighbor’s driveway.  He felt it was an eyesore and wanted it moved.  The Board reviewed the deed restrictions and found there were no enforceable restrictions regarding the type of vehicle that is in question.  The vehicle is properly licensed so the city does not have any issues with it. 

 

Minutes from November 2008 meeting were approved. Send to Sean for website posting.

 

Thank you to:

  • Jeanne and Kevin for the Playground efforts
  • Bill for the coordination of new sewer grates in the Wendell and Montrose Way basins.
  • Bill, Ed and Mike Mazzola  for the coordination of the new carriage lights at the entrance on Rt. 83.

 

Issue 1:  Discussion of what the 2009 Annual Association fee should be.  Discussion regarding reserves, money needed for upcoming expenditures both planned and emergency.  Board voted 4 to 1 to keep rebate at $30 on the $400 annual fee.
