Cedar Springs HOA Board Meeting Minutes - January 6, 2022

PRESENT: Paul Stannert, Kippy Strandberg, Cele Westlake, Bruce Janicula, Joan Mickelson, Simone Caracciolo, and Art Shotwell

CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 3:30 PM.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: Simone Caracciolo moved that the December 10, 2021 minutes be approved. Art Shotwell seconded the motion. Motion Passed.

PRESIDENTS REPORT: The needed gutter, roof, window and deck facia repairs were completed.

TREASURER’S REPORT: Cele Westlake explained a spreadsheet comparing the 2021 Budget to the projected 2022 Budget. Cele reviewed three different dues increase options. The Board agreed that this needs more thought before a decision is made.

LANDSCAPE REPORT: Bruce Janicula presented a proposed 2022 Landscape Budget. The 2022 Budget will be finalized before the Annual Meeting.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: The Board selected February 26, 2022 to be the date for the Annual Meeting. The location is to be determined. The Annual Meeting location, time, and packet will be sent to all homeowners by February 12, 2022.

The Board discussed the necessity to carry earthquake insurance. After doing some research, Paul Stannert stated that earthquake claims in Anacortes were very unlikely. This will be discussed at the next Board Meeting so a recommendation could be made to the Homeowners.

The Board discussed the necessity to hire a Management Company since so little interest has been shown by homeowners to participate on the Board. Paul Stannert and Simone Caracciolo investigated three management companies and concluded that Windermere Management would give us the best service for our needs. 

Kippy Strandberg made a motion to hire Windermere Management. The motion was discussed. Cele Westlake seconded the motion and the motion passed.

Cele Westlake made a motion to not retain Furin Incompany for future accounting work. It was pointed out that the accounting work would now be done by the Windermere Management and therefore Furin Incompany would not be needed. The motion was seconded and passed.

NEW BUSINESS: Bruce Janicula was concerned that the Board does not know if all homeowners have homeowners insurance. The Board decided that all homeowners need to show proof of insurance by submitting a copy of their Declaration of Insurance.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The next Board meeting is January 11, 2022 at 3:30 PM at 1802 Cedar Springs Court.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 PM. 

Respectfully submitted,

Kippy Strandberg Cedar Springs Secretary
