Minutes                                     

Bruce Whitley called the meeting to order at 7:50 pm, after an informal discussion with John Haffner.

.

1. The minutes for the July meeting were unanimously approved.
2. Brad Ward presented the financial and operations report. Brad reported that the expenses are under budget and this will allow us to transfer extra funds to the replacement budget. Greg Wilson will report at the November meeting about alternative short term, interest rates for investing our savings.

A proposal was made to increase fees by $15 per year in 2007 to allow us to meet the 2007 budget and to continue to build up a surplus for the future. Agreed unanimously.

Brad reported that the pool covers are being repaired and that the Homeowner adjacent to the pool has agreed to replace the fence between his Lot and the pool on a cost sharing basis. Jim Cunnane and Ed McAlpine will look into fencing options up to a maximum of $5K. They were unanimously authorized to approve a suitable replacement. Brad had two, dead pine trees and a palm tree removed at the pool. Ed McAlpine agreed to arrange for fence replacement at the deep end of the meter pool.

3. Social Events: Lisa Duncan is arranging for safe stands to be in operation for Halloween. The arrangements will be reported on the web site.
4. New signage will be discussed during the November meeting.
5. Newsletters: Lisa Duncan produced a draft schedule for issuing these. Board members were asked to review the schedule and to plan approximate times within the months quoted. The November newsletter will have a prompt to inform Homeowners that most future newsletters will be issues on line. If Homeowners would like a copy sent to their personal email account, they should send Jim Sauerberg their email address.
6. Proposed Swim Team expansion: Steve Bartis produced a draft note for the potential expansion of the swim team. This is to ensure continued viability of the team in the event of a team in the area closing down and their swimmers joining other clubs. The meeting agreed that guest families will need to be sponsored on a one per resident family basis. The meeting also agreed that there would be a fee payable to the Homeowners to cover extra wear and tear on the pool and to add to Homeowners funds that that maximum number of swimmers needs to be defined and that decisions need to be made about the rights that guest membership would confer and how these would be monitored. Steve will produce a follow up note for the November meeting.
7. Pool Landscaping: The proposal made by Jim Cunnane and Richard Hemingway for improved landscaping was discussed. The meeting decided that before moving forward there needs to be a more detailed plan from a landscape architect. Jim Cunnane and Brad Ward will each follow up with landscape architects that they know and report at the November meeting.
8. New business

Jim Cunnane would like to upgrade the quality of the street signs on Campolindo. He encouraged Board Members to look carefully at the signs and we will discuss this next month.

 

The meeting was closed at 9:10 pm
