Management/President’s Update

Rick Leach gave the report, copy attached.

· Robert Dow stated that there were issues with the two street lights on Cedar Point Boulevard beyond the rear gates that night lights were working, but one light was not going off during the day. Rick Leach said that one photocell needed to be replaced and repairs would be done today.

· Feige Brody asked which sidewalks are going to be cleaned. Barry Prince said that all sidewalks that are stained or discolored will be cleaned, and we are currently accepting bids for that project. There are also seven areas that are trip hazards and a contract to begin those repairs was signed today to begin work as soon as possible.

· Barry Prince mentioned that the decorating committee has been working with a professional decorator to enhance two wall panels in the Center. The Art Club originally stated they would contribute $10,000.00 to this project, but recently said they would only be able to contribute $8,000.00. The estimate from the decorator to complete this task was around $15,000.00. Therefore, this project is on temporary hold and may be put in as a line item in next years budget to cover the additional cost, and could be completed in January of 2010.

· A resident who lives in Condo #1 asked about black topping the sidewalks to avoid having to clean them so often. Barry Prince said the cost to replace all our sidewalks with blacktop was prohibitive.

New Business

· Rick Leach presented two painting bids for the painting of the Portecochere, one from Paint It Rite for $2,600.00 and one from Arrango’s Development for $2,250.00. Robert Dow made a motion to award the painting of the Portecochere to Arrango’s Development not to exceed $2,500.00. Seconded by Mel Teitzman and passed unanimously.

· After much discussion concerning the audit, Joel Brusso introduced a motion for a Corporate Resolution to hire Lamn, Krielow, Dytrych & Co., Certified Public Accountants & Consultants to do the Financial Statement and Tax Returns for the year 2009. Seconded by Robert Dow and passed unanimously.

Audience Participation

· Audrey Arian, resident Condo #3, said it was the last day to sign up for swine flu shots. They are currently unavailable, but as soon as they are here we will post the dates that they will be administered.

· Audrey Arian also asked how many foreclosures do we have. Joel Brusso answered between six and seven. He also explained legislative action recently passed and how it affects homeowner associations.

· Annette Pomerantz, resident Condo #4, spoke about possible plans to remove the Mexican tile and expressed that she didn’t think there was any reason to change the floors, Barry Prince responded to her comments stating that this has not yet been decided, but that upgrades or improvements to the facilities are important to maintain the Clubhouse.

· Phyllis Weaving, resident Patio Villas, asked whether decorating should be done before or after the flooring is changed, Barry Prince explained that the two projects are separate from each other.

· Feige Brody mentioned a prior suggestion for tables to put around the pool to put bags and other items on. She thanked the Board for ordering them.

Paul Whitney made a motion to adjourn at 10:45 A.M. Seconded by Robert Dow and passed unanimously.
