Property
Report by Larry Edwards
1. Shingles and building
permits have been ordered for roof project. Suggestion made to stagger the roofing
project throughout the year so all the funds aren’t pulled out of the reserve
at the same time. Reroofing will begin as soon as
May.
2. Electricity has been
wired for the pond aerator. Bid still pending for installing the aerator.
Continuing
Business
1. Resolution letter - Chet
will notify the owners that the board approved four trees to be
planted at this property.
2. Letters to homeowners for removal of dead
trees was reviewed by board, written by Susan Keene. Susan consulted our
attorney and his suggestions were included in the letter.
3. Muskrat bid – Aqua Pond does not service the
Hendricks County area. There is a company from Fortville, IN that will get rid
of all the muskrats for $400.00. Motion
made by Cheryl Simpson to hire this company to remove the Muskrats in the pond.
2nd by Bob Stewart. Motion passed.
New
Business
1. Beautification Project- A proposal was presented
by Mike Lowden and Cheryl Simpson for trees, bushes and benches to be added on
the common area between the Westside of the pond and Westover Road. Estimated cost and labor for the trees and
bushes is approximately $1,200.00. Average cost for resin benches is approx.
$400.00 each plus the cost of a cement base. Several opinions where shared on the number
and type of trees and bushes and how the project will be funded. After discussion, Cheryl Simpson made a motion to fund this project with a cap of
$2000.00 from the Common Area budget and to give the committee approval to move
forward with the project. The committee will be chaired by Mike Lowden and
whomever he recruits. 2nd by
Mike Lowden. Motion passed with vote of 3-1.
2. Roof leak damage at 8171 Burnett Blvd. –
Board agreed that the inside damage from this roof leak would have to be
covered by the homeowner’s insurance since this leak had been addressed in 2003
by Sentry Homes.
3. Board officer election schedule – a
suggestion was made to stagger board elections more evenly because of the newly
6th member elected to the board last November. The schedule currently stands at a 3-2-1 election
pattern. The aim is for electing and/or re-electing 2 officers each year which
would allow for a 2-2-2 election pattern or to add an additional board member.
