Jaime reported that our taxes have been completed by McGladrey and that we owe state and federal taxes. Guest Art Rapp questioned why, if we are a not for profit organization, why we would owe taxes. We discussed this and can only think it may be from interest on CDs or money from litigation settlement. Jaime also mentioned that there is a bill from Marine Biochemists for over $3,000.00 for services rendered summer 2008. Jaime will check with Sandi to see if this bill has actually been paid.
Architectural Committee – nothing to report.
Ponds and Commons Committee report given by note from Elmer Nicklas.
– Elmer met with Kevin Franzen to discuss mowing. It was determined that Kevin doesn’t actually have a contract but a proposal from Dave Fritz, and he is paid per mow.
– Kevin indicated that he is not willing to continue mowing after the 2009 season. Elmer urged him to work with the new board.
– There are complaints both ways – too much mowing and not enough mowing. Elmer will oversee the mowing.
– A contract with Marine Biochemist for pond treatments in 2009 was discussed with three payments of $922. Michele Guido questioned if a board member actually signed off on doing the treatments. Jaime will check with Jim and Sandi. The committee will also meet and determine what treatments are actually needed and get a bid for the treatments.
– A flyer about aquatic plants and fish was discussed. We discussed the stocking of the ponds and that no one can introduce new stock to the ponds without approval of the board.
– Guest Ernie Monk mentioned that planting different grasses around the ponds may be needed. The committee will look at the options available.
Social Committee
– The possibility of a fishing derby for kids was discussed.
Babysitter’s Committee
– Nothing to report
Neighborhood Watch
– Jim Brock will hold an informational meeting on February 19 at 7:00 p.m. The new Deputy is willing to come to meeting.
Web and Communications Committee
– Steve Glasgow, graphic designer, has volunteered his skills.
– Mike discussed the sequence of the distribution of the newsletters:
March – electronic
June – with CHOA dues billing
September – electronic
December – electronic
– Mike reported that there are some spam blocker issues with our email delivery. He is working to clear up the issue.
Open Issues
