E.OLD BUSINESS
1.Paint contract for Club house and touch up on treatment building. Two bids were received and reviewed. One was clearly itemized. A few other places need to have touch up added. Discussed adding a capped price on the bid in order to allow addition of these touch ups.
MOTION: Accept Aaron’s Painting to do the clubhouse, office shed, stage, treatment building, well house and propane tank with cost to be capped at $6500 maximum. 2nd and passed.
F.NEW BUSINESS
1.Annual Meeting. Mike Henderson would like to do the Community Summer Concert at our Annual meeting this year. We could hold the meeting outside as well as use an outdoor food catering service.
MOTION: We have annual meeting on September 18, 2021 and include a concert. 2nd and passed.
Nadia will check with Mike Henderson about the band and work with a caterer for the catering arrangements.
Reviewed that a quorum will be a majority of those community members present and voting according to our new by-laws. We usually get a preliminary head count for catering via RSVP slips and that gives a general idea of how many will be a%ending the meeting as well.
2.Clubhouse. C -Notes previously used to practice on Mondays for quite awhile before the pandemic. They contacted us about using the clubhouse again. Rental was discussed, per our bylaws they would need a homeowner sponsor.
MOTION: Grandfather C-notes to rent the clubhouse for the remainder of 2021. 2nd and passed with one opposed due to lack of sponsor.
Next question is how much the C-Notes will be paying. Mike is to come up with amount and and send to the Board.
3.Lagoon. Mike Lowe contacted (by someone) — about clearing pathway on the beach side of the lagoon. Nadia thought people were offering to clear the path out. Discussed that we do not pay for it but there is no opposition to people in the community doing this on their own.
4.Clubhouse. Blocking out 3rd Wednesday in the clubhouse schedule for our Board meetings. Nadia will call Mike to make sure this occurs; preventing conflicts with meetings.
5.Clubhouse. Decorating the day before for clubhouse rentals. If no rentals are going on, people may come in free the night before for decorating only.
6.Discussed mowing. Mentioned areas that might be missed. Steve will contact Simply Yards and make sure these areas are maintained.
