President’s Report – Steve Freeborn
After a bit of negotiation, we obtained excellent insurance coverage, which will be effective 6/7/13. We have a $1,000,000.00 Liability insurance policy. The cost is $121.00 more than what we were paying under our old policy, however, it is a much better policy. There were many exclusions under the old policy. Under the new one, the only exclusions we have are: no alcohol and we can’t have a competitive sports team, ie a swim team, water polo, or synchronized swimming, dive team etc… but none of these are anything we do anyway. In addition, we have added the following coverage: Property insurance, which insures the pool house, the swimming pool, fence, decking, play area, all the furniture, and Directors Liability Coverage. Total coverage cost for all policies is $2,518.00 per year. This is excellent coverage and will meet the needs of the community.

Recreation – Nancy Krueger
At 12:30 am on June 1, after being altered by a neighbor that there were people in the pool, Nancy Krueger called 911 and met the police at the pool. The police caught six young people on the premises, one of whom is the adult son of a homeowner. The police issued warrants, and the offenders will need to appear in court. We intend to press charges. Unauthorized use of the pool cannot be tolerated. Not only does it expose the community to property damage and vandalism, but it is unsafe for anyone to be in the pool after hours.
Memorial Day Weekend saw quite few swimmers in spite of the weather. The pool was closed the following weekend because the new insurance policy was not yet in place.
Architecture – Kay Gordon
One homeowner submitted plans for a backyard structure that will be reviewed by the committee. There was one request for a letter to homeowners to clean up stacked materials and to cut overgrown grass.
Maintenance — Mark Bunger
Work parties were pretty successful. Special thanks to Bill & Jean Durflinger and Norm Lowe for rebuilding the picnic tables, and to Roald Erickson for painting the benches in the boys locker room.
Mark dug a trench along the front of the parking lot and installed perforated pipe so that water can flow away from the parking lot. The new cover is in use. Mark replaced wood on the picnic tables, but they still need paint and the playground needs weeding.
The meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm and the next meeting will be held at the pool on Tuesday, July 2 at 7pm.
Respectfully submitted, Vicki Bengeult
