New Business
Pat - Proposal for dues payment for NON Direct Pay members.
· Sec. Note: This Proposal is from an email statement Pat sent the day following the board meeting.
· Having to go to the bank several times a month just to deposit a few checks is a real pain in the neck.
· She suggested all members who insist on paying dues by check be charged $5.00 for each check.
· Basically a member could save by writing a single check for 3, 6, or 12 months in advance.
· Tabled for discussion until the next board meeting.
Beautification Committee – Ann Weisensee.
· Some concern that a former resident (Shannon Case) was still involved in committee – he volunteered as a “consultant”.
· Bank – what to do – Committee is researching alternatives.
· Trees need attention – CW will talk to landscapers.
· Sprinklers on West end need to be serviced.
Bud volunteered to fix if he can be shown how to turn off water.
CW will talk to landscapers and let Bud know it is being handled
CW stated that some sprinklers are purposely turned off.
· Some new planters have been installed at the top of the bank Just West of the East gazebo.
· Pat provided some thoughts on the Shannon Case issue in her email:
· Many owners have talked to me about Shannon Case participating in the Beautification Committee.
· What they have heard Shannon say, and he has also said it to me, is that he is a member of the committee and will participate as a way to maintain ties to the community.
· As far as I am concerned, he does not rent here, he does not live here and he does not work for the landscaping company, therefore he has no ties to the community and it is inappropriate for him to participate on the committee.
· I understand he was involved in the formation of the committee and the initial planning, however, I expect that the day I move out of here, you won’t want me helping out with the treasury function and as Shannon is a not a member of the community, I don’t want him helping out around here.
