The meeting was called to order by Vince Sellen at 5:30 p.m. at the home
of Jean Taylor. Vince indicated that Ted
Krieg would not be present since he had double bypass surgery in St. Louis on
October 8 and is now in cardio rehab there.
It was moved and seconded to approve the minutes of the August 19 board
meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
Art Shotwell provided a treasurer’s report, which is attached. Balance Sheet. Profit & Loss.
Vince reported there was storm damage this past weekend with two trees
down, one near Art’s condo and one by the creek on H. Disposal of the trees was discussed.
1819 Cedar Springs Lane is now being renovated. The insurance money has been received and
will be paid out as repairs are made.
Vince has OK’s the replacement door and it will be painted to reflect
the rest of the units.
The Landscape Committee reported that 18 responses were received to the
survey. They will provide a summary
document at the annual meeting. They
will also discuss the duties of a landscape coordinator – duties that would
have to be assumed by the management company if it was determined to employ
one. These duties included pest control,
necessary mulching to keep landscaping alive, replacement of lost plants,
trimming of trees, shrubs, and plants, fall cleanup, and tree removal. A final document set forth a possible budget
for 2015 regarding landscaping costs which totaled $13,500. It was suggested that an increase in the
monthly dues would be necessary. The
document will also be provided at the annual meeting.
Steve reported that he has made contact with the company that will do
the gutter repairs. The company is
waiting for good weather. It was pointed
out that Anita Dale’s gutters had to be cleaned out and she also has dripping
gutters. Gutters will be cleaned later
in the fall after the leaves fall.
It was noted that lawns are again very soggy – it was suggested that
perhaps the new construction in the area might be causing some of the problem.
Materials were collected from Acorn in Oak Harbor, Windermere in
Bellingham, and Anacortes Property Management. Acorn in Oak Harbor did not
respond to a telephone inquiry. It was
decided to get more information/references regarding Windermere, Anacortes
Property Management, and Soria Property Management. The information gleaned will be presented to
the board at a meeting yet to be scheduled in December with the idea that
candidates be present at the annual meeting to answer questions.
The next meeting of the board will be at Art Shotwell’s home at a date
and time to be determined.
The meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Naomi Hanson
Secretary
