As there was no quorum, the meeting was adjourned with no actions taken. Below are reports for the month: President: Ken SchiewetzNo issue. Vice President: Eric LeonheartNo issue. Treasurer: Gary Mesick April Treasurer’s ReportBalances: As of 1 May, the Operating Fund (checking) had a balance of $40,277.36, and the Reserve Fund (savings) has a balance of $36,202.57. The Community has received $48,005 in dues as of 1 May, including one prepayment of 2023 dues, leaving $3035 in dues and late fees still outstanding. Dues: As of today, 65 households have paid their 2022 dues in full, with two household paying in installments, and 2 households still to pay. The two households who have not paid have been fined and notified that they are no longer in good standing, and that their standing will only be restored (including voting and access to the pool and common areas) when all dues and fines have been paid in full.Operations: The budget shows a $10,000 under-run. This is due to the timing of some payments: $4000 for the Reserve (to be paid after the lawsuit settlement); $3600 for insurance premium (paid to new insurance carrier, currently being researched by our broker); and $1873.87 in property taxes (check written and mailed, but not cashed). Other than those items, the community is on budget.The Community paid no additional legal fees in April. As of 1 May, the Community has paid $6138.89 in legal fees since the start of the year. As reported last month, all of these fees have been submitted to our insurance for reimbursement. The insurance company has agreed to pay over $9,000 in legal fees. The check has not yet arrived.When we have a complete estimate for additional repairs to the pool house, we can submit it to our insurance company, who will pay an additional $285.27 when they receive verification that the work has been completed. We have resolved the excess water consumption with Lakehaven, and our bill has been reduced from the $2500 originally billed. Our water is $400 over budget through April.We have provided our insurance broker with information necessary for them to seek bids on new insurance. We are still waiting for those bids.Reserve: The community spent $4400 from Reserve on replacing the plumbing from the pool house. The quarterly reserve payment of $4000 has not been made, but we anticipate being able to make that payment and future planned payments once the settlement is final and the insurance check has been received.  Secretary: Anne MesickNo issue. At Large: Larry BarlowNo issue. Maintenance/Pool: Rod Martinez Lisa gave Rod’s report.The work on the pool house begins again this week. The water will be turned on to test for leaks, and then turned off again so that the next phase of the project can be started. The fixtures in the bathrooms will be pulled, the cement board replaced, and the fixtures then reconnected. The interior will be painted.The pool cleaning service began the work necessary for the opening, once the plumbing project is complete, and the water is back on, the water level in the pool will be increased. Architecture: Lisa Martinez The architecture committee approved one house painting request. Recreation Hospitality: Anne MesickNo issue. AnnouncementsIt is likely that all the construction work at the pool should be completed by the Memorial Day weekend.Gary will begin the service for the phone and garbage collection at the pool. The opening of the pool on Memorial day weekend will be dependent upon having volunteers to open and close the pool. If you are available to help open or close the pool please contact Lisa Martinez immediately. Lisa can be contacted at: architecture@marcheri.org or by phone at 206-755-1716. Makoto Sugiuchi has once again, graciously, volunteered to activate key cards for the entrance gate for members in good standing. If your contact information has changed since last year, please contact Lisa immediately(see above contact information). Neighbors new to the community, must fill out the necessary forms, and turn them in to Lisa Martinez immediately so that you may pick up key cards. Please do not wait until the last minute to do this if you plan on swimming at the pool. Our volunteers set aside time in their busy schedules to help the community to do these tasks. Due to work and other constraints they are often unavailable for last minute requests. Thank you for planning ahead.The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 via Zoom.
