The officers are attempting to renegotiate the HORC notes for several of the 40 or so individuals making payments, in an attempt to lower the interest payments. Funds ($1,000) were set aside to record the loans with the county.
A new employee leasing company was contracted, with a compatible insurance benefits for our employees. Some benefits were reduced.
The Marine Committee designed a new form to approve all boats and trailers coming into our
storage lot and/or docks. Apparently a few residents have slipped in several boats which are larger than allowed by our rules (max. 26 ft.). The application form will prevent this sort of misrepresentation from happening again. The maximum boat length was voted to a new 28 ft. Now everyone is legal.
Construction work has been approved for the Office, to move a door which will prevent anyone from walking into the manager or the actual office. Another access doorway will be cut through the wall further in the back.
The board approved several new renters in the apartments, and apparently will do so in the future. Gone are the days of the Resident Review Committee, and the shady approvals of a manager long ago. At least now, SOMEONE other than the manager will be overseeing new residents. That’s a good thing. We have been striving for this ever since Larry Buttelwerth sat on the board for his second term. More eyes are better, and then again there are more people to take the blame if anything goes afoul.
PARKING!!! Big agenda item. The president rewrote parts of the Rules and Regs, and then other board members made some changes. After some confusion on motions and amendments to motions, the board voted to approve the changes to parking on the common areas. Overnight parking and permanent parking in the areas around the club house and the Office is now restricted. The changes will go into effect when the new rule is mailed to all residents. I am relieved that the parking issue has finally been resolved, but there is no priority for this in July and August. The Board could have better prepared themselves for this rule change, and saved more than 20 minutes of meeting time by bringing a “refined rule” to the table. There was no reason to rush this through at this meeting. This wasn’t even on the agenda.

Sandy,
I think this Board is working very hard on issues that past Boards erred to take care of. You were on that Board and you of all people should know how hard it is on these Board members. I do not know if I could sit there and take the abuse they take from a few shareholders that are causing the problems in this Park. We have to go through all this at a Board meeting because a certain few do not want to abide by the rules of the Park. The Board members are not paid for what they do and should not have to put up with the conduct of a few.
