As of November 1, the community had $16,461.21 in its Operating Fund (Checking) and $29,058.81 in its Reserve Fund (Savings). The Association has two delinquent accounts (fines an interest are accruing). All other homeowners have paid assessments in full through the end of the year.
The financials show the community is running about $10,500 under budget. The budget calls for $12000 per quarter transferred to Reserve, and only $3278.69 has been transferred, accounting for $8721.31 of the overrun. The remaining $1700 is from budget under-runs.
Reserve: There were no expenses from Reserve in October. We anticipate a Reserve expense for insulation in the pool house later this year.
Secretary: Anne Mesick
The updated directories are complete and were delivered. Thank you Mark Medlin for the hours of time you shared with the community to make these new directories happen.
At Large: Larry Barlow
No report.
Maintenance/Pool: Ken Schiewetz is filling this position until a replacement is found.
To protect the pipes at the pool house, the attic of the pool house needs insulation. It was also recommended that space heaters be used to take the chill off the bathrooms during the coldest days and nights. A bid for $1800.00 was quoted for the insulation work. The faucets in the two bathrooms need replacing.
Anne made a motion that the board provisionally approve the amount of $1800,00 for installation of insulation in the attic. Gary seconded the motion, the expenditure was approved.
Ken made a motion that up to $1000.00 be made available to replace the water faucets and to purchase programmable space heaters. Gary seconded the motion, the expenditure was approved.
Ken will look into getting the work completed in November.
Architecture: Ken Schiewetz is filling this position until a replacement can be found.
One Hedge replacement was approved for Lot 14 Section3.
One fence installation, and one retaining wall replacement was approved for Lot 10 Section 3.

Thank you to the neighbors who live down near the pool for all your help over the past month to keep the pool in good shape. Your help to restart the pool pump, maintain water level, clean leaves from the pool, and to let the insurance inspector into the pool gate are greatly appreciated. Thank you Mark Medlin for your time and for recruiting the helpers.
The next board meeting will take place on Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 7PM via Zoom.
