Minutes for the Annual Meeting of the of Mar Cheri Community Club
Date: Monday, February 13, 2023
Time /Location: 7 PM via Zoom
At 7:03 PM Anne Mesick asked if there was a quorum of members in attendance and by proxy.
Hugh Lee, who counted the ballots, stated there were 35 ballots in total.
President: Ken Schiewetz
Ken called the annual meeting to order at 7:03 PM and stated there was not a quorum, so the vote on the changes to the bylaws would be rescheduled. After consulting the community attorney, we were advised that the votes for the budget and the board members could be counted and tallied, and the results announced.
There were 30 votes for the passing of the budget and 1 against. The budget passed.
There were 35 votes for each of the board positions on the ballot and no write in candidates.
The 2023 Mar Cheri board is: Ken Schiewetz, President, Larry Barlow; At large, Gary Mesick, Treasurer; and Anne Mesick, Secretary and Hospitality.
Ken said that a Reserve Study, which is required by the state, was completed in the past year. The study will be posted on the Mar Cheri website.
Treasurer: Gary Mesick
As of January 1, 2023, the Community had $6175.47 in our operating fund (the checking account) and $35933.45 in our reserve fund (the savings account). This compares with $5455.92 and $39.868.76 respectively for the start of 2022.
The proposed budget keeps dues at $720 for another year. Doing so means there is little in the way of discretionary spending for this year, but there is enough to operate the pool this summer and to meet known expenses.
A new reserve study was completed in December 2022, and the community was deemed 31% fully funded, which means there is a medium risk of special assessment. Forecasted maintenance shows that the community is unlikely to have such a risk until at least 2033 (ten years from now).
The only item identified in the reserve study for replacement this year is the water heater at the pool.
Secretary: Anne Mesick
Anne assisted Mark Medlin in updating the Mar Cheri directory. Anne thanked Mark Medlin for the hours of work he spent creating, printing and delivering the new directories.
Maintenance/Pool: Ken Schiewetz (acting chairperson)
There was a major water leak in the pool house this year. It was decided since so much work was required to repair the damage, that other pool house projects would be moved up in time so that they could be completed with the least amount of repetition of finishing work. In addition to new plumbing and fixtures, more insulation, new fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors were added.
Thank you to Neal Tripp, James Rolff, and Makoto Suguiuchi who worked on some of these projects. Ken thanked all members of the community who work to support the pool by volunteering their time.
Architecture: Ken Schiewetz (acting chairperson)
Ken reported that there were 4 new roofs installed on homes in the community as well as several other projects. He stated that letters were sent to all those in violation of the covenants and that no fines to anyone were issued.
Hospitality / Recreation: Anne Mesick
Anne reported that 3 welcome packets were delivered in the past year. Please welcome Blake Greene and Vrinda Zaveri (div 3-15), Sheryll Miller, Leon Dillingham and Wayne Miller (div 3-10), and Phil and Gerry Landes who are renting( div 1-3).
In Closing, Ken reminded the membership that the bylaws were being changed to bring them into alignment with state law. Look for a new ballot in the mail, and please vote.
The vote will be tallied at an in person meeting. Details are upcoming.
Those in attendance: Ken Schiewetz, Gary Mesick, Larry Barlow, Anne Mesick

Operations: For the year, the community is $7000 under budget, because of reimbursements from insurance. Pool and legal expenses exceeded budgeted amounts. The community has already made all Reserve payments for 2023.
Reserve: There was one payment for $1847.81 from Reserve in December for insulation at the pool house.
2023 Dues: The proposed 2023 budget calls for association dues remaining at $720 for the year. They are due 1 April 2023. Invoices will go out shortly, in anticipation of budget approval at the annual meeting. In the meantime, payments can be made at any time to Mar Cheri Community Club, and will be credited against the 2023 invoice.

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.

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 reported the draft of the Rules and Fine Schedule is at the attorney for final review. Ken anticipates the final document will be released to the home owners later this month.
Treasurer: Gary Mesick
Gary has compiled an initial budget for the 2023. The board will review and adapt the budget.
As of October 1, the community had $16,401.21 in its Operating Fund (Checking) and $29,058.81 in its Reserve Fund (Savings). The Association has two delinquent accounts. All other homeowners have paid assessments in full through the end of the year.
The financials show the community is running about $16,000 under budget. The budget calls for $4000 per quarter transferred to Reserve, and this has not yet taken place for the first three quarters. In addition, the budget calls for the second installment of property taxes to be paid in September, but it isn’t due until the end of October, so this accounts for an additional $1900. The remaining $2000 is from budget under-runs.
Reserve: The payment of $1404.88 for repairs to the pool house reported for August didn’t clear until September, which accounts for the reduced Reserve balance. There were no expenses from Reserve this month.
Secretary: Anne Mesick
Anne presented the draft of the new directory that is being compiled by Mark Medlin.

Vice President: Vacant
Eric Leonheart, stating reasons both personal and professional, has resigned as the vice president.
Treasurer: Gary Mesick
As of July 1, the community had $36216.53 in its Operating Fund (Checking) and $27181.96 in its Reserve Fund (Savings). One homeowner has not paid 2022 dues, one has not paid 2021 dues (fines and interest charges are in effect for both), and one homeowner is paying in installments. One homeowner has paid 2023 dues. All other homeowners are paid in full through this year.
Operating Budget: The community is running about $15000 under budget. About $4700 is from Reserve payments that are being held pending settlement of the lawsuit (to exist the risk of a special assessment), so we expect this to be deposited in Reserve at some point this year. $3300 is cost under runs with the pool operations. The remaining $7000 is the difference between the insurance premium ($9000) and the sum of the budgeted amount ($3600) plus the insurance claims settlement ($12300).
Reserve: The community has transferred the water damage insurance claim amount of $3278.69 to Reserve, as those repairs are a Reserve item, and these insurance claim funds will mitigate the impact of repairs on the Reserve fund balance. The community is retaining the legal fees insurance claim reimbursement in Operating funds to reduce the risk of a special assessment until the lawsuit is settled. In June from Reserves, the community has spent $1718.77 to replace the existing wiring in the pool house, $1134.03 for to replace existing plumbing in the pool house, and $3110 in additional maintenance work to upgrade the pool house. Looking ahead, the only large expenses anticipated in the Reserve Study over the next five years are replacement of the perimeter chain-link fence, refurbishment of the entrance monuments, and replacement/repair of the pool house siding, allowing ample opportunity to replenish the Reserve during these years.

Thank you to Eric Leonheart for the hours of service given to the community and for serving as Vice President for the past several months.
We would also like to thank Rod and Lisa Martinez for the hours of dedicated service provided to the community since volunteering to serve on the board for many years. We are thankful that Lisa is continuing, as a non-board member to oversee the swimming pool.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community. A special thank you to those volunteers dedicated to keeping the pool safely running during the season: they include: Makoto Sugiuchi, Nancy Kreuger, Kay Gomez, Robin Man, Ruth and Neal Tripp and Anna Himichuk.
A friendly reminder to all: when hosting guests at the pool, you must accompany and stay with them while they use the facility.
Anne delivered a welcome packet to the new residents of the neighborhood, Blake Greene and Vrinda Zaveri. Blake and Vrinda live where Don and Claire Dayton used to live. Don and Clair lived in the neighborhood since 1976, we wish them all the best in their new home.
We ask for your patience when making requests of the board at this time because we are short of members. Ken Schiewetz will be back from vacation at the end of the month and will address the vacant positions at that time. If you, or if you know of someone you think would be good on the board ( please ask them first) submit your name or theirs) to Ken Schiewetz. We are always in need of volunteers to fill vacant board and committee positions.
There being no other business, Ken called the meeting to a close at 7:10 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,

Secretary
Here is the finance report from the month of May:
As of June 1, the community had $40407.36 in its Operating Fund (Checking) and $36202.57 in its Reserve Fund (Savings). One homeowner has not paid 2022 dues, one has not paid 2021 dues (fines and interest charges are in effect for both), and two homeowners are paying in installments. One homeowner has paid 2023 dues. All other homeowners are paid in full through this year. The community has received payment for its two insurance claims: legal fees pertaining to the lawsuit ($9022.42 paid and future legal fees assumed by the insurance company) and the water damage at the pool ($3278.69). This is shown as a credit (ie income, not expense) to “insurance” in the budget report.
Operating Budget: The community is running about $11500 under budget. About $600 is from various cost underruns to date (legal fees are exceeding budget, and other items are under budget, for a net of the $600 underrun). An additional $4000 of this is because the community has not yet made its budgeted transfer to the Reserve ($4000 each quarter), as it is keeping those funds available until the lawsuit is settled (to reduce the risk of a special assessment). The remaining $6900 is the difference between the insurance premium ($9000) and the sum of the budgeted amount ($3600) plus the insurance claims settlement ($12300). The community has transferred the water damage insurance claim amount of $3278.69 to Reserve (after June 1, so not reflected in this month’s report), as those repairs are a Reserve item, and these insurance claim funds will mitigate the impact of repairs on the Reserve fund balance. The community is retaining the legal fees insurance claim reimbursement in Operating funds to further reduce the risk of a special assessment until the lawsuit is settled.
The community grounds landscaping company has informed us that they are increasing their monthly fee from $150 to $250. Our new insurance premium has increased from $3600 a year to $9000, reflecting the increased risk our community represents due to the two claims made this past year. Water usage is over budget, due to the leak in January (this was substantially mitigated through negotiation with Lakehaven, but not entirely).
Reserve: This winter’s water damage at the pool has resulted in a large outlay from the Reserve. The Reserve Study anticipated $1043 to replace gravel in the parking lot for 2022, and $9638 to refurbish the pool house in 2023. Both of these items have been addressed in repairing this winter’s water damage at the pool. With the addition of the $3278.69 insurance claim, that makes a total of $12916.69 allocated for repairs at the pool due to the water damage. To date, the community has spent over $17500, with the total expected to exceed $21000. The $8000 over the Reserve Study estimate will be covered by the Reserve funds. This work will not only repair the water damage, but will provide all new plumbing and wiring in the pool house, as well as completing the periodic upgrade, as planned for in the Reserve Study. Looking ahead, the only large expenses anticipated in the Reserve Study over the next five years are replacement of the perimeter fence, refurbishment of the entrance monuments, and replacement/repair of the pool house siding, allowing ample opportunity to replenish the Reserve. Still, these expenses do increase the financial risk to the community.
This message is to inform you that the Mar Cheri Community Club board of directors called to order the meeting for Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 7PM. Ken Schiewetz, Gary Mesick and Anne Mesick were in attendance. There was not a quorum. The meeting was adjourned at 7:05.

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.

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.
