July 2018 Board Minutes

Mar Cheri Minutes

July 12, 2018

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

  • Architectural chair Salton resigned for personal reasons. The board will be looking for a replacement with experience.  Ms. Salton will be missed for all her strong contributions to the board.  One renovation request is pending and will be handled by the board.
  • Treasurer Barlow presented the Treasurer’s report for June: Income – $240; Expenses – $672; Net position $(452).  Checking balance is $40 thousand, with $5 thousand in reserve.  $3,800 is billed and past due.
  • Mesick reported the July 4 barbecue was attended by 24, and everyone commented on how nice the pool area looks.
  • Pool Manager Bill Saballa-Davis reported that the pump was checked out and is working. We may need to replace the pump this season, or the heater/pump in 2019.
  • Additional Pool Liability Waivers were returned. Cards will be activated as the Waivers are received; however, it may take a day or two to accomplish with the Pool Manager’s work schedule and limitations on the laptop used to activate the cards.
  • The tree removal went well, and the chips were spread by volunteers in the area to the east of the picnic tables.   Planting will take place in the fall.
  • Treasurer Barlow reviewed one software program that is more suitable to the community’s needs than QuickBooks. He will review two additional programs over the next two months and report to the board.
  • The lending library is ready to be installed. Installation will take place in July.
  • National Night Out 2018 takes place in the picnic area August 7, 6 – 9 PM. Hamburgers, hotdogs, and cold beverages will be provided by the homeowners’ association.  Attendees will be asked to bring their dish of choice.
  • Pool violations were discussed, no adult present, cigarette smoking in the pool area, swearing and obnoxious behavior, and alcohol consumption inside the pool area. Letters will go out to the homeowners involved and will include removal of pool privileges for time periods commensurate with the violations.
  • Next meeting is scheduled for August 13 at poolside.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Laura House

Secretary
