• B. Audit...completed…our association was complemented for our record keeping and financial concerns…there is a copy available at the office for perusal by residents
• C. Concrete/pool bids…L. Bulat was able to get two bids for concrete by the grassy area located within the pool complex. T.J. Building Co. Inc. proposed removal of weeds/grass, moving dirt to other areas and putting concrete over that area at the cost of $4200. B. Kean motions to accept this proposal and J. Rickert seconds. L.

Sweetwater Pool Service is now our new pool maintenance company.

RPM Home Services has done quite acceptable work for our community at a reasonable cost. K. Randazzo motions to accept RPM Home Services for handyman/maintenance work. S. Romano seconds. Ayes all.
• C. Riviera website…Larry Larkin suggests we list names of various handyman services performed by people in our community on our website. L. Bulat states that although this is a good idea, legally the association cannot accept the responsibility for these individuals.
• D. Annual Meeting Letter/Review…all board members were given the letter to review and make corrections as necessary by this week.
• E. Bocce Ball Court…resident Chase McQuade is willing to take over the bocce ball responsibilities. The courts are in need of repair and he will have an experienced person inspect our court and advise.

Audience Participation:

• Dwight Kehoe…regarding our WiFi service…he states the router and modem for the computer club are weak and the computer club would like to buy, at their expense, a more advanced system to service us better. No objection from the board members. They would also like to get involved with Embarq regarding interruptive service.
• Dwight Kehoe- our projector is outdated and would like the association to consider purchasing a new overhead projector and retractable screen. Dwight will obtain costs for both for the next board meeting. B. Cannon volunteered to be on this committee.
• Tom Savage asked if we get estimates from our handyman before the work is started and the answer is yes.
• Cal Brooks had questions about bids on both floors in the clubhouse.
• Mary Olson asked about renters in our community. She was told they were interviewed and screened the same way as new residents.
• Len de Franco had questions about the floor replacement

Director's Input:

• Bill Cannon asked who owns the island and bridge behind the tennis courts, as the bridge is in need of repair. We own both and will have our handyman look into repairing the bridge.
• Bill Cannon also asked if we have R22 refrigerant in the pool heater. L. Bulat states we do not.
• L. Bulat received a letter from IPM regarding the first quarter 2009 maintenance payments. Details will be in the February 2009 Newsletter.
