Incidents that happened since the last Board Meeting:

 

An incident occurred this past week involving adult swim.  There was some misinformation given to the owners saying adult swim had been eliminated during the week.  This was not the right information.  Because of the change in hours of the clubhouse, the later hour had been eliminated.  The hour from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM still stands.  I have reinstructed the staff, printed the information in the Weekender, and posted signs around the clubhouse.  There should have be confusion about this in the future.  I do apologize for any one that the misinformation affected.

 

Teen Lock In:  There were several problems that occurred during this event which were unfortunate, but have since been resolved.  The first thing was not enough chaperones.   The Activity Committee has discussed this issue and have decided that in the future if they do not have participation from the owners, events will be cancelled.  The second  problem was the misconception that there was a DJ scheduled. 

This was not the case for this event.  Last year we had a DJ because an owner (who runs a DJ service) donated time and equipment.  This year we did not have the donation.

 

 

Statements/Collections:

 

Since the June Board Meeting we have collected $73,835.00 in assessments. 

 

Gate cards will be put out this weekend for owners that haven’t paid anything on their assessments to date.  I will start sending out collection letters next week to these owners.

 

Pool:

 

The pool was fixed the week prior to the Fourth of July.  It only took Valley Pools approximately 4 hours to repair it and the bill came to under $1,000.

 

Correspondence:

 

I received a letter from John Madsen Canterbury Block 6, lots 30 and 31.  A copy has been enclosed in all files.  Basically he would like to have a protective shield placed on the streetlight at his corner to block some of the light from shining on his lot.  I have had numerous requests for this and would like input from the Board regarding this issue.

 

Rules:

 

I have had many questions regarding the guest fee change revolving around whether or not it goes the other way too.  Meaning are parents of owners included?  Grandparents, etc.  There was a suggestion submitted this past week suggesting it would be discrimination not to include them.  This subject needs to be discussed.

 

A suggestion was also submitted regarding allotting an hour or so for children 13 and under to have the pool to themselves.

 

A concern was brought to me about the dimensions stated in the rules regarding lean-to’s.  They pointed out the fact that some golf carts can be 9’ in length and would not fit into a lean-to with the current dimensions.  Is this an area the Board wants to address?

 

Mini Golf Course

 

All materials have been purchased for the renovation.  I have had two members of the Volunteer Club and one owner from London Town offer assistance to help with the repairs.  This project should start next week.  Thanks in advance to these people.

 

Lot Sales

 

There were 10 registrations that went through since the last board meeting.  I know of five more lots that have been sold but having registered.

 

Fines

 

A $100 fine has been issued to an owner in Banbury.  We have major problems with their group during the Fourth of July weekend.

 

Miscellaneous

 

Tim Modl is still out indefinitely on a medical leave.
