Gazebo Power Cable Protection at shore. Someone
asked if the power cable to the gazebo had been covered. No action has been on that to date.
Additional financial business: Mike needs to know
ASAP if there are any outstanding payments due to anyone for 2007 so he can
prepare the 2007 taxes. Taxes are due in
Mid-March, not April 15 like personal income taxes. Mike cut checks for 2008 tournaments
as part of combining the ski club with the HOA.
Power Line MSBU Project
Frank reported that ATT (BellSouth) had mailed him
their final estimate and that he had taken it to the
CC&R Update
Frank met with HOA lawyer Michael Gibson December 18,
2007. Michael Gibson stated that the CCRs content and presentation was reviewed
and found to be legal and in good order as written. HOA should get the lawyer’s
bill soon. Frank had the final copy of the CCRs notarized and recorded with the
Board will need to begin to address enforcement of
new CCR soon.
Annual Dues
Dues are not being paid very fast so far. There are still problems with home owners
submitting proof of USAWS membership.
Discussion of issue and how to address insurance requirements this
year. Subgroup (Bill Baggett, George
Pichel, and Frank Harwood) volunteered to handle this project for 2008 instead
of the treasurer having to handle this project.
Davey is the Ski Watch contact and has been taking
and processing samples. The trends in
the lakes are constant. He will bring
copies of the reports to the next meeting.
New Business:
Leash Law:
Frank researched and found that county records show
that Ski Watch is already under the SR county leash law. No action is required by the HOA Board. Jeff
reported lots of digging around his drains and got general board support for
covering the areas with chicken wire as a deterrent. (A variety of animals and
rodents were offered up as possible culprits.)
Board member votes on minor payments and issues. In an effort to reduce the number of BOD meetings for 2008, Frank asked
for board input on taking care of minor, non-controversial issues via e-mail.
The board agreed in principle and that if a BOD member felt the issue needed
full discussion, we would table it and convene a regular meeting.
2008 Tournament Subcommittee
Frank asked for volunteers to be the 2008
tournament “shepherds”. Jeff Harber, Jim
Harwood, George Pichel, and Davey Willhoit volunteered to organize the 2008
tournaments.
There was a lot of discussion about the Florida
Federation requirement and tracking of federation fees paid by out-of-state
skiers. George made a motion to let the tournament subcommittee decide what to do
with this issue. Frank seconded the motion. Board voted unanimous approval.
Improving the Annual Proxy Process:
Ed Hewes recommended that when next proxies are
mailed to HOA, an explanation be included of the specifics of the proxies. There was general agreement to do this.
Adjourn:
Ed Hewes motioned and Frank seconded and board
voted unanimously to adjourn.
