In
attendance were Gloria Wilner, Marilyn Steane, Warren Knapp, Fred Weber, Bert
Stanley and Bill Tomlinson
Minutes of the
previous meeting were reviewed and approved as written.
The proposed 2009 budget was reviewed in detail and approved as written.
Reserves account will be analyzed and projected further out into the future and
expanded to approve all known initiatives for the out-years. The amount
of the special assessment planned for next Spring will then be determined base
upon those updated needs projections.
Gloria and Bill Tomlinson will work together on a new Management
Contract. Board members will submission suggestions for inclusions to
Gloria.
Fred Weber discussed Landscaping issues. All work expected under the
contract with Pat Fasano's contract have now been completed. Chris Andrews is
ready to begin his duties, starting with the snow plowing/salting efforts which
began today. Fred will work over the Winter to define all the "overgrown
evergreens, etc that need to be removed and/or replaced so we can decide
whether to have our landscaping team do the work or contract it out.
Gloria and Marilyn will continue working to define an appropriate replacement
for the exterior lights for residences. They will also study
options for replacing our current mailbox stands although it is agreed that we
can get along with the current ones for at least another year or two. It
was also determined that the fences in Phase I do not need replacement in the
near future given that they were repaired and painted just two years ago.
Bill Tomlinson reviewed options for resolving sidewalk drainage issues.
Bill also reported that the irrigation systems for the two entrance road garden
sets will still be installed this year. It is, however, highly unlikely
that the driveway repairs planned for this Fall, but repeatedly delayed by
weather, will be completed at this point as asphalt plants are closing for the
year.
The next meeting of the Board will be held March 10, 2009 at 2PM at
Marilyn's home
