ARB:

The following plans were submitted by the ARB for board approval:

• O’Leary---Lot 563---799 Charlemagne---paint color
• Sands---Lot 371---982 Charlemagne---driveway paint
• Winslow---Lot 9---13 LeMans---paint color

B. Cannon motions to accept the ARB recommendations. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.

Since many residents are anxious to have their homes painted, driveways improved, etc., it was decided to give the ARB permission to approve paint color, pavers, etc. (within our regulations) without waiting for the monthly meetings for board approval for the go-ahead, although at least one board member must approve the above. B. Cannon motions to accept this idea. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.

Suggestions/complaints:

• M. Summy’s daughter suggested locks be put on the A/C units because the Freon is being stolen for illegal use.
• C. Brooks reported two cats at a residence. A violation letter will be sent.
• Several written complaints regarding two separate homes where children are possibly living, trailer homes are a mess, cars parked in the yard, furniture in the driveway, etc. Separate violation letters have been sent to the owners of these residences.

Old Business:

• Clubhouse floor bids…four bids were thoroughly discussed by the board members and it was decided to replace the kitchen floor only. We will obtain samples of tile and find out if there is an asbestos problem before approving one of the bids.

New Business:

• A. Copy machine…after some discussion about replacing the copy machine. After reviewing this with all board members, it was decided not to replace the machine until such time as we are unable to repair it or replace parts. B. Kean motions to keep the copy machine, as there are no problems with it right now and then just replace it when necessary. B. Cannon seconds. Ayes all.
• B. Music stands…H. Marks requests that the band’s music stands be replaced that had been disposed of per her request some time ago. B. Kean motions to send her a letter stating that we will not replace the stands. S. Romano seconds. Ayes all.
• C. Pool equipment/solar update…L. Bulat states that one gas heater has been replaced with electric. The solar was not being used for several months due to excessive pressure on the system. Both problems are now fixed and everything is functioning properly.
• D. Pool table…a petition was submitted by the pool players requesting an additional pool table. All board members agreed to have one or more of the pool players get bids.
• E. Daley Lawn Care…a bid to install 3 pallets of sod at the rear of the pool equipment area and two rotary sprinkler heads at the cost of $990. B. Kean motions to accept the bid. J. Furgasso seconds. Ayes all.
