Financial Report

Susan Krim gave the financial report.  We currently have $12,300 in our Savings account (for Capital improvements) and a total of $13,800 in our operating account.

Tennis Court

Anne reported that several families wanted to get the tennis court put in useful condition. She also requested that some members wanted to put up a regulation basketball post and net at the edge of the tennis court at their own expense.   The consensus of the Board members present was that there was no objection to either of these per se, but that we need to know what the costs would be for the fence and that the basketball net installation should be coordinated with the fencing in a manner that was not obtrusive or dangerous.   Anne will get a fencing estimate.

Barn Repairs

The cost to bring the barn up to stability is prohibitive, one rough estimate from a contractor was $100,000 and one was $75,000.   Anne will try to get a written estimate from the $75,000 contractor.  There is partial interest from Board members in taking out a mortgage to save the barn.  This possibility will be posed to the entire community at the next full community meeting.  Meanwhile the board approved a  cleaning of the barn.  Anne will get an estimate from the Junk Man and if it is reasonable we shall send out a memo to the community that personal items should be removed or they will be disposed of by a certain date, hopefully in August. Henceforth personal items should not be stored in the barn.

Recycling

Recycling was discussed.   David Mizner spoke to Carmen Barbato, Jr.    He can provide a dumpster that will receive all recyclables and he will charge $125 per “pull” (each time it has to be emptied). The Board approved this unanimously and has given David permission to follow through with Carmen.

Home Rentals

The Rental of their homes, by community members was discussed.  It was decided that the renters should understand that they cannot have group rentals and that they should be told to use discretion when having friends join them at the pond.

Road Repairs

Tom Shepherd visited to give a report on his tour of the roads with Carmen Senior.   40 years worth of leaves and material have collected at the sides of the road and have built a ridge that directs water back to the center of the road.  The first order of business is to vacuum the sides to rid us of the leaf and detritus build-up.   Then  Carmen can access the material and also dig out the ditches at the road sides.  At the same time, he can replace the 3 or 4 culverts that need replacing.  Tom will bring us an estimate for the vacuuming which he thinks will be in the area of $1500.  The whole job should be about $12,000.   The Board approved all of the preceding  to the amount of $15,000.

Community Meeting

The Board established a full community meeting for Sunday, July 15.   A notice will be sent out by Anne Navasky.

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

The meeting was held at the home of Anne Navasky. Minutes submitted by Anne Navasky.
