The Secret
Woods August 11 board meeting was called to order at 6:32 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, Horst Pophal and
Sallie Wnuk. Residents Harold
and Gerda Humphries, John and Mary Loving and
Carol Bozak also attended.
The meeting was opened with the reading of the July minutes. The
minutes were approved with one correction.
Joe then announced the annual meeting will
be Tuesday, Sept. 23 at Southpoint Baptist Church. The
meeting will begin promptly at 7pm. People are asked to
arrive and sign-in by 6:45 p.m. Proxies will also be
available to residents who are unable to attend but still want to
cast their votes.
No accounting report was available.
Joe announced the
annual dues statements were mailed out Sunday. There was discussion on
when the dues are actually due each year. Joe pointed out that the board
of directors sets the date when dues are mailed out.
Sallie gave a pool update.
She said Portofino Pools was adding an extra chemical to treat algae that was
noticed. Our pool serviceman has also been scrubbing some of the
algae. She also reported the pool lock had been damaged. Sallie
contacted the locksmith who came out and repaired the lock. The locksmith
couldn't tell for sure if someone was misusing the lock or whether it had been
vandalized.
The board noted that a neighbor has had an ongoing construction project to ad a room
for more than a year, violating the eight month limit specified in
the covenants. The board voted to send out an infraction letter to the
neighbor stating the project needs to
be completed within 60 days.
The board rejected a homeowner's request to erect
a chain-link fence, noting it violated the covenants.
Harold mentioned he was
concerned that some families still had not paid last year's dues. Joe
explained that a payment plan had been set up for some of those families and the
outstanding dues were being pursued.
The
next board meeting was scheduled for Monday, September 8 at 6:30
p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
