Board Meeting Minutes: May 3, 2020

PRESENT 

Susan Krim, Anne Navasky, Judy Reibel, Alfred Sousa, Eva Thaddeus

GARBAGE

Carmen should be called when the recycling bin is full because there is no regular pick up for the recycling as there is for for the non-recycling bin.  Anne pointed out that there are often plastic bags in the bin which are not recyclable.  Also that boxes are often not broken down which fills the bin faster and the community is charged by the “pull”.  She will try to replace the recycling parameters.

ROAD 

Anne will remind Carmen to look at the bad spots—identify them .  Eva and Susan will follow up by asking contacts for suggestions for other plowing vendors.

BARN

Vern Schnackenberg revisited the barn and found it to be in worse shape than he had previously evaluated it to be.  His estimate would be at least as high as the previous ones.  Approval for repairs to the barn must be 100% according to the by-laws.  Padlocking the barn and restricting to adult use was discussed. We shall put off all final decisions to the community meeting.

FINANCIAL REPORT 

We have $8000 in the bank with another $4000 due in rent from Debbie.  Debbie’s rent will go from $1350 per month to $1376 starting in June

TENNIS COURT  

The repairs will be finished by June and it will be ready for use then.  [Update: the court is now finished and ready to use.] Anne will send out a notice reminding members that $1800 was the cost of the basketball installation at the far end of the court, and any community members who might want to contribute to it will be welcome to do so.

INSURANCE 

Anne was asked to find out if our insurance is up to date and covers renters using the community property.

FARMHOUSE 

The screen doors need fixing.   Anne pointed out that this was already considered in an earlier meeting and approved.

POND 

Questions arose about Covid 19 and the use of the pond.  This was postponed to be considered at the Annual community meeting.

The Meeting was held by Zoom video. Minutes submitted by Anne Navasky.
