Update
– Rick Leach read the Management Report – Copy attached.
·
One
of the items was to call attention to the fact that on July 9th the
process of replacing the tiles in areas previously stated will begin. Rick Leach
feels that it will take approximately 3 weeks from start to finish. The café
will have to be closed at some time during the process for a week. Announcements
will be forthcoming.
·
Rick
Leach also announced that the Annual Audit of our books is almost complete, and
will be ready for reviewing very shortly.
·
Joel
Brusso spoke of his concern regarding using our reserve funds for the State
ordered improvement to the Spas at this time. Barry Prince spoke about time
being of the essence, as there are many other communities who have to comply to
State mandates as well as ours, and that if we wait any longer we may have to
wait beyond the deadline to have the work completed, which will cause us to have
to shut down the Spas until the work is done. Larry Granet familiar with this
law said that he feels we should not wait, as the price may go up if the demand
is great at a future date.
·
Tennis
Pro Contract – Copy attached.
·
Robert
Dow informed us that the Contract with Steve Yankello, our Tennis Pro remains
the same as in the past, but with the exception of his salary which was
increased. After some discussion by the Board and residents a motion was made by
Larry Granet to accept the contract for Steve Yankello as presented. Seconded by
Harry Sassower and passed unanimously.
·
David
Lefton, resident, asked if the Board still feels it necessary to have a Tennis
Pro continue at this time due to lack of attendance at the courts, and economic
reasons. Some discussion ensued. He then suggested that a study be made of other
communities in the area to see how many had Tennis Pros.
·
Café Menu – The Board has copies of the
proposed new menu for the Café. There being some increases in prices, Larry
Granet suggested that the Board have a week to review the new proposed menu, and
then be prepared to vote upon it. Barry Prince tabled the matter until the next
Board meeting.
