June Board Meeting Minutes

Turn your signed Pool Liability Waiver form into Bill Saballa-Davis

Mar Cheri Minutes

June 14, 2018

The meeting was called to order by President Schiewetz.  In attendance were board members Peter and Bill Saballa-Davis; Barlow; House; Sugiuchi; and Mesick.  Hospitality Committee member Isaacson was also in attendance.  The following topics were discussed:

  • The tree replacement plan was approved by the city but required an additional ½ tree unit. The board met with the tree contractor regarding the removal of the 11 trees, stump grinding, and planting the replacement trees.  The removal will take place in the next 2 weeks, necessitating the closure of the pool during the process.  Planting will take place in the fall at the recommendation of the tree contractor.  The felled trees will be chipped and spread in the area to the east of the picnic tables.
  • Pool Manager Bill Saballa-Davis reported that the pump which closed the pool for three days was repairable. It will need to be replaced in the near future and he recommended we budget $8,000 for the heater/pump replacement in 2019.
  • Only 16 households have returned their Liability waiver in order to have their pool access cards activated.
  • Pool opening was discussed, and it was agreed that if the weather forecast is for rain, or the temperature is below 72 degrees, the pool cover will not be removed.
  • Work completed prior to the May 19 work party included pressure washing the sun deck, replacing failed boards, staining exposed wood, and cleaning restrooms. This was largely accomplished by James Rolf, Mark Bunger, and board members Saballa-Davis and Sugiuchi.  The board acknowledged their extensive efforts.
  • Twelve families helped at the May 19 work party, making the pool opening a success.
  • Architect Chair Salton was not available but reported via email to the board that one fence was approved and letters were sent to two homeowners, one for a deck in need of repair and one for trash cans stored at the street.
  • Treasurer Barlow reported that he is in the process of reviewing all of the files given to him by the prior Treasurer. He will present the Treasurer’s report at the next board meeting.  He will review alternative software programs to try to simplify recordkeeping.
  • No new welcome packets were distributed, but one will go out shortly. Future packets will include the pool Waiver form and a form to collect contact information for the directory and for sending the board minutes.
  • The lending library will be installed once the tree removal is complete.
  • The Hospitality committee is still working on the following events:

o   Garage Sale, June 23; all participants need to notify the Hospitality committee in order to be provided with a balloon for clearer identification.

o   Independence Day party (4th of July); Noon – 2 PM, hot dogs and hamburgers will be served.  Homeowners A-L are requested to bring deserts, while Homeowners M – Z are requested to bring a side dish or salad.  Participants need to RSVP by July 2nd; if at least 10 people don’t RSVP, the event will be cancelled.

o   Block Watch Night Out August 7, 6 – 9 PM

  • Next meeting is scheduled for July 12th at the pool deck.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Laura House
