April 14, 2003 board minutes
The Secret Woods April 14 board meeting was called to order at 6:34 p.m. by Board President Joe Miller in the conference room of the YMCA on Belfort Road. The following board members attended: Bill Bortzfield, Joe Miller, Tom Bozak and Horst Pophal. Resident Carol Bozak also attended. The meeting was opened with the reading of the minutes. Joe noted that the March 24 meeting mentioned in the minutes had to be cancelled. He also noted that the annual homeowners meeting has been postponed until Monday, May 19. Then an accounting report was given. Joe said the April 5 workday was a big success. 83 bags of debris were collected. He then discussed the common grounds and the need to determine what the current market value of the area is. The board voted 3-to-1 to get an appraisal of the common grounds in the neighborhood, not to exceed $500. Attention then turned to the neighborhood's insurance policy. Joe announced that State Farm has decided to continue our coverage, but without mold coverage. The final amount of the increase hasn't been announce by State Farm yet. The current plan is to stay with State Farm. Once the increase is announced the board will decide whether to pursue switching carriers. Earlier State Farm had announced it was canceling the neighborhood's coverage. Estimates from other companies were running triple State Farm's current rate. Joe warned that State Farm is also planning a sizable increase. Because the board does not yet know what the final cost of insurance will run it was decided to hold off on mailing out the annual homeowner dues notice. Horst Popal announced the pool leak company has investigated the pool and found that there was no leak. The water level was set too high, triggering too much drainage. It has since been readjusted by Portofino Pools. The board also approved money to finish repair on the water supply running from the street to the pool. Joe also announced that estimates are being obtained for new tile in sections of the pool bathrooms and the pool entryway. The meeting then turned to reported covenant infractions by residents. It was noted that a motor home has been parked in a homeowner's driveway, which is against the neighborhood covenants. The board voted to send out an infraction letter to homeowner.Joe then noted the current lock at the pool only works from the inside. The board voted to replace the lock and keys, using a new system in which keys can not be copied. Cost approved: $1,200. The next board meeting was scheduled for Monday, May 12. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. Submitted by Board Member Bill Bortzfield on 03/17/03. |
