Treasurer report by Jay Wendt:

  1. Audit of the associations books completed at a cost of apx. $500.
  2. Checking account has a balance of apx. $5,000.00
    a.) We have received the bills for the new pump & the asphalt sealer.
  3. Jay explained that we saved apx. $500.00 by not having the lawns mowed each week due to the dryness of the grass and the sand in the grass.
  4. Jay indicated that our insurance expenses are our largest expense and the board agreed to look at raising the deductible from $500 to $1,000 in order to lower our premiums. Jay also suggested that the co-owners share the cost of the deductible. All agreed that we will further this conversation later this month.

Concerns over the sand on the grass:
After much discussion during the last several meetings it was decided that any attempt at a permanent fix would prove expensive as well as futile.

The vote was unanimous to allow the grass to grow up through the remaining sand.

Burt Poland left the association (2) rolls of "silt fence" which he feels will stop the sand from blowing on to the grass. That silt fence has been stored in the garage of unit #8

Maintenance for the year 2000:
The painting of building # 6 (the larger units) & the garage doors will be performed the week of August 7th although after examining the wood molding around the entry doors Phil will instruct the painters not to paint them due to rotting wood. Burt agreed to contact the manufacturer of the doors to ask for the money back or for them to replace the wood. Meanwhile Gerry Gosset will contact some laborers in the area to give us a quote for replacing the rotted wood.

The garage doors were power washed the week of July 31st and in doing so some of the paint had come off the white moldings around the garage doors. Phil will instruct Superior Painting to paint those molding when the paint the doors.

The sprinkler system is up and running.

Annual meeting:
The annual meeting is scheduled for Sept. 3rd and will be held at Burt’s new restaurant at 11:00 A.M.

It was suggested to the board that we hold a second annual meeting in the spring. We agreed to discuss this matter at the annual meeting in September.

Walk-in items:
Kirk Stevens presented a summarized version of the bylaws. The board discussed sending these out to all co-owners prior to the annual meeting. After some discussion it was unanimous that we should not summarize the bylaws, but we should copy them as they are written, have them laminated and pass them out at the annual meeting. At that time we can go over each restriction and discuss whether we need to have an amendment to change it, omit it or keep it. Pat Gelders offered to type them and have them laminated.

It was agreed that Kirk Stevens would take over the responsibilities of the treasurer after the annual meeting in September.

Next meeting Sept. 3rd at 11 am.

Meeting adjourned at 11:20a.m.

Kirk Stevens
Acting Secretary
