SKI WATCH ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
Board Meeting Minutes – July 31st, 2008
Present:
Frank Harwood, Shawn McCann,
Jeff Harber, George Pichel, Jim Harwood, Davey Willhoit, Mike Trabold
Secretary:
Minutes from the 6-19-08
Meeting were reviewed and approved.
Treasurer Report:
Current balance is
~$16.5K. Total tournament income after
expenses is expected to be ~$1K. Mike
reviewed our expenditures to date and we are doing well with staying at or
under budget for most items. Mike discovered
that the Ski Watch Inc. tax ID number does not match the tax ID number that we
have been using to file returns with the IRS.
The number we have been using with the IRS was the original tax ID
number that the developer used for the HOA.
A motion was made and unanimously approved to look into this further and determine if we can change our tax
ID number with the State to match the one we have been using for the IRS. We may also want to discuss this with a tax
attorney at some point in the near future.
Old Business:
Kelly Vehicle Parking:
Kay Kelly is now using the
Caldor’s driveway to park her vehicle and boat.
This issue is closed so long as no further parking of vehicles on vacant
lots is resumed.
Utilities:
The board agreed that the
pine trees next to the new light poles should be removed. Shawn agreed to do this and have Seth remove
as part of his brush trimming work. We
may want to consider doing some sodding and/or
landscaping around the transformer boxes in the near future.
Adjacent Property:
Bill Willhoit is planning to
meet with McKenzie when he is in town next week.
New Business:
Renters:
The board agreed to setup an
email for the Ski Watch BOD to use when sending letters to members. We can use this (instead of personal emails addresses
from individual board members) for any official correspondence or notices from
the BOD. It was agreed to send a letter to Charlie and Roger reminding them of
the renter limitation of one family or two individuals. We will also indicate in the letter that a
change to the CC&R could be proposed at the next annual meeting but at this
time, having three individuals renting one property is not allowed. Jeff and Mike agreed to look at this issue
and draft a proposed CC&R change.
Edging / Landscaping / Brush Trimming / Shoreline Work
Seth has completed the edging
and started on shoreline brush removal.
Lake 1 is complete and
Heckman Shoreline Work:
Craig has proposed doing some
work on his beach to improve the appearance and remove some of the
vegetation. The Board approved this in
concept but we (Frank) will request that he meet with some of the members to
discuss this in more detail before he begins.
Debris on Topp Lot:
Shawn agreed to talk to Brian
about the debris / brush bile on Topps lot.
A friend of the Topps informed
them of this and they sent an email to the board asking that the debris be
removed. Shawn will also ask Brian about
the possibility of removing or repairing his boat lift.
Landscaping:
Jeff suggesting removing some
of the ugly logustrum plants and possibly moving some
of the good plants to improve the looks along the entrance road. A figure of $500 was proposed to purchase
landscaping shrubs to replace those missing or dead; the board agreed to table
the subject until the full scope of the project has been determined.
Car Removal:
Shawn agreed to draft a
letter to send to Jeff regarding the removal of his car (within 30 days) from
the adjacent property.
Davey’s Motorcycle Trailer:
It was suggested that Davey
park his trailer on the property adjacent to
Jeff outlined his ideas to
the board for modifying the lakes at Skiwatch to accommodate other water sports
disciplines, such as wakeboarding, and create one large lake in the place of
the two smaller lakes (Lakes 1&2). A lengthy discussion followed. No
decisions were made and these ideas would be considered along with several
others as part of a long-range plan.
Adjourn:
S. McCann, Secretary
