New Business:
Treasurer:
Gary suggested that a person be hired to inspect the siding on the pool house to determine the condition and potential lifespan of the siding. This is needed to adjust the estimates of future Reserve studies, and it could potentially save the community money.
Architecture:
Ken informed the board that a property owner is planning a significant remodel of a home. The property owner will be turning in a detailed request to the Architecture Committee.
Maintenance:
Ken reported that Neal Tripp has spotted a small drainage problem in the grounds near the pool. More information will be presented at the next monthly meeting as well as a proposed plan of action, and a budget. This issue should be covered by the reserve account.
Hospitality/ Recreation:
Anne delivered two welcome packets to new neighbors in the community. Division 3 Lot 4 has new tenants. Division 1 Lot 4 has new property owners: Adam Sinclair and Tamara Hoffman Sinclair. Welcome to our new neighbors.
There being no other business, Ken ended the meeting at 7:45 PM.
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 7PM via Zoom.
Respectfully submitted,
Anne Mesick
