Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2025

Time /Location: 7:00 PM via Zoom

Those in attendance: Ken Schiewetz, Gary Mesick, Anne Mesick

President: Ken Schiewetz

Ken called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM.  

The in-person meeting for the Reserve Study took place, and Ken met with Greg, who did the site inspection. This Study, required by the state, is intended to list and inspect the physical property which the community owns. A report on the condition of that property, the life expectancy of the property and an estimated cost to replace or repair is then issued.

Treasurer: Gary Mesick

As of 1 August 2025, the Community had $20969.44 in the Operating account (checking) and $29817.71 in the Reserve (savings).

Through July, the Community is $12000 over budget. This is largely due to professional services (lawyer, geologist, and arborist). 

For July, there was one expenditure from Reserves. $4270.25 was paid to Infinity Tree Service for the first phase of trimming trees on the common property near the pool. 

As of August 11, 67 members have paid their 2025 dues in full. One household is making installment payments. One household has not paid dues for 2022, 2024 or 2025.

Secretary: Anne Mesick

The Community picnic was attended by about 20 people. Thank you to Nancy and Ray Krueger who organized the event and donated the hotdogs and hamburgers. All those families who attended brought food to share which made for quite a feast. We had a fun afternoon, and it was great to get together after a long COVID hiatus.

Ken gave Larry Barlow’s report on the status of the pool entry system. Both card readers are installed and are be tested. Once those readers are set the new key cards can be formatted and issued.
