2007
Proposed Budget
The
Board members reviewed the two-page summary that Tom Reinheimer sent regarding changes to
the budget. Angela Diaz explained that the Board members had previously discussed having a
handyman rather than the MAY Management maintenance staff.
Patti Brown explained that she asked Janet if she could add another hour on
to police the area for trash, but she was unable to do that. The Board members agreed to cut out the MAY
Management maintenance staff effective tomorrow and if there seems to be a lot of trash
accumulating find a handyman to pick it up from time to time. The Board members were in agreement to leave this
budget item as Tommy Reinheimer had it in his draft.
Other items in Mr. Reinheimers draft were reviewed and all Board
members agreed to Mr. Reinheimers proposed changes.
The proposed budget would make the assessments $900 per year. Patti Brown also spoke in favor of the two new
line items for bad debt and vandalism do the owners can see that these two items are
costing the Association.
Patti
Brown reviewed some of the variances as of the September Financial Report and she
explained there havent been any major items in October.
Tom
Murta moved to approve the 2007 budget as Tom Reinheimer presented it. Angela Diaz seconded the motion and it was
unanimously carried. Angela Diaz asked that
the budget assumptions be mailed out along with the Annual Meeting mailing. Patti Brown will also do a cover letter explaining
the bad debt item. There was discussion about
the bad debt item and Tom Murta stated that someone suggested to him that the Board list
the names of those who havent paid their assessments.
Patti Brown explained that any owner could come to MAY Management and
request to look at the delinquency report. It was also decoded top post the 2007 budget on
the website. Josiah Andrews felt that each
item that was raised should have an explanation.
FINANCIAL REPORT
Patti
Brown reported that there are 30 homes delinquent for a total of $18,685.77. The delinquency report was reviewed and Patti
Brown explained the process for liens and money judgments.
Josiah Andrews asked if there has been an increase in delinquencies in the
last year and it was unknown. Patti Brown
explained that when the Board takes an aggressive approach to collections, the word will
get around in the community.
Tom
Murta moved to send out biannual assessment statements effective January 1, 2007.
Angela
Diaz questioned the addendum to the MAY Management contract, in particular the $1.50 fee
for faxing and the $100 administrative fees for filing a lien. She noted that she and Tommy Reinheimer are
protesting these two costs and she asked Patti Brown to clarify these items before she
would sign the addendum to the contract. Ms.
Diaz would like to know if some of the money for filing the lien will come back to the
Association as $25 used to come back to the Association.
There was further discussion about the MAY Management charges and Patti
Brown explained there is backup attached to the MAY Management check referencing these
charges that Tommy Reinheimer can review when he signs the checks.
It
was also noted that Tom Reinheimer had a question on the financials regarding 19 hours for
maintenance. Patti Brown has asked for a copy
of the maintenance mans time sheet, but she hasnt received it yet.
Angela
Diaz moved to accept the September financial report.
Tom Murta seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried.

runs from November to November and they have only mulched once this year.
Sinkholes

contractors who quoted has recently passed away. The

another quote. Angela Diaz also reported that
there is a washout between the two lakes on Sawmill Lakes Drive and Tom Murta explained
that it is because the concrete wing walls are not long enough.

requested. Angela Diaz moved to order ARC

overwhelming vote, the Board probably wouldnt take action.
Annual
Meeting
- Patti Brown reported that she has not received any nominees for the Board yet. She explained that a person could be nominated at
the annual meeting. Angela Diaz stated
that she and Tommy Reinheimers terms are up next year and that would leave the Board
with only two Board members. She feels this
is extreme apathy in the community and is disappointed in this. Patti Brown explained that the Board couldnt
run with only two members and they would have to appoint someone.
Dr.
Frank voiced interest in running for the Board, but explained he couldnt make
Tuesday evenings. The Board discussed
possibly changing to Monday evenings. Josiah
Andrews was agreeable to take Dr. Franks position on the ARC.
Approval
of Rogers Addition - Tobe Budner sent plans and a cover letter asking the
Board to review Mr. Rogers addition. Josiah Andrews explained that the ARC did not
want to approve the plans because they did not agree with the variance. Angela Diaz explained that the reason the Board
overruled the ARC on the variance is because there are already many homes in the community
that were equally as close to the street and she couldnt see how it could be denied. Dr. Frank voiced disappointment that the ARC was
never informed of the reasoning., Angela
Diaz apologized for the lack of communications. Tobe
Budner sent a memo explaining that the situation is ideal with the original architect and
original builder doing the addition to the home. Mr.
Murta reviewed the plans and felt they meet the community standards. Tom Murta moved to approve the architectural plans
for Lot 46, Phase I at the Rogers residence for a garage addition.
