Maranto reported on June golf rounds. Rounds were down about 16% from 2007 and 2008.

Y-T-D rounds were down 9% from 2007 and 8% from 2008. Total rounds were down less than members and guests which could be a result of higher public play. Revenue per round also has increased over both 2007 & 2008. Y-T-D revenues are up $4,000 over 2007, but down $21,000

over 2008.

 

Maranto reported Adam Hosa has painted a beautiful picture of the preserve/bridge between #2 & #3 and would like to donate it to the Clubhouse. The Board would be responsible for having the painting framed. After discussion the Board decided to accept the painting and have it framed. Yvonne & Eileen will decide on the proper place of where it should be hung.

 

Unglaub reported the Budget Committee held a meeting on July 15, 2009. The Board has received the 2010 Reserve Proposed Budget. Unglaub will schedule another meeting sometime

Harry reported on the financials for May and June. Harry also complimented the board on their efforts to watch expenses the first six months and if they continue to do so, it will help to reduce the increase expenses experienced from the new rates for the Waste Water Treatment.

 

Unglaub requested a motion from the Board to approve the purchase of the Security cart from E-Z GO Textron to a cost of $1, 740.56 which also includes the additional lighting added to the cart earlier.

Baszczuk reported there are (2) 4 ton A/C units in the Clubhouse that are in need of replacing.  He has received quotes from Teague’s A/C & Aires Refrigeration. Teague’s is our present service company and Baszczuk has been reviewing the yearly cost for their services. He feels we are not getting the service that we are paying for. The Board discussed the quotes provided to replace the A/C units and the possibility of changing service companies.

 

The Board agreed that Baszczuk is Liaison to the Clubhouse and should make the decision to change service companies. Baszczuk informed the Board that he has been having discussions with the owner of Aires Refrigeration who has suggested we change the 4 ton units to 5 tons. The Board agreed to put a cap amount of $6,400 to replace the two A/C units.

 

Motion was made by Unglaub, seconded by Ford, to replace the two A/C units in the Clubhouse with a cap amount of $6,400. Aye votes Maranto, Unglaub, Baszczuk, Zernzach, and Ford. Carried Unanimously

 

Baszczuk reported he is in the process of looking at the sound system in the Clubhouse to see if it is possible to get it working again so we can have music throughout the building. Baszczuk explained to the Board on how the system works and will report back with his findings.

 

Zernzach asked Mike on how the new electrical system for the golf course irrigation was working. Mike responded “great”.

 

Ford reported the Tennis committee has requested to have tennis court fence painted black and they need a storage unit for their brooms, supplies, etc. The Board discussed these issues and it was decided, Ford will get in contact with some painting contractors for bids and search for a storage unit that is not tall and must be appealing in appearance.

 

Ford reported he has given Mike approval to purchase sod for the front of the Clubhouse near the sidewalk on Cross Creek Blvd., the irrigation area behind #17, and the sidewalk on Cold Stream Dr. by Fairway Woods. Vila has replaced the dead foliage in the front of the Clubhouse on both sides. There is still a problem with people driving over the grass to avoid the speed bumps, although the speed bumps seem to have reduced speeding on CCB. The Board discussed different options to block off the grass areas. For a nice appearance, rock garden formations with rip rap and nice plants were suggested.

 

New Business:

 

Baszczuk reported that the owners of Vision Golf Management have proposed reductions in the Clubhouse hours to reduce cost. The Board is not in favor of this at all because it would also reduce the services to our members.

 

Maranto informed the Board that the buzzards on the #9 island broke the concrete pelican. It appears they don’t like him very much. Mike will try to fix and replace him back on the island.

 

Maranto reported with the recent economy and foreclosure conditions, banks have become very cautious about lending money for mortgages. It has come to his attention that some banks will require that condominium management provide the percentage of owner occupied units versus rentals. In one resent incident, the sale was about to fall through because the bank required this information and had difficulty getting it in the time allowed. Maranto advises all Association have this information readily available. He will send an email to all Association officers regarding this issue.

 

Unglaub reported the fountain in the lake behind the Clubhouse needs a new pump/motor. The cost of repair is $1,032.90.

 

Maranto requested a motion to adjourn the Meeting.

 

Motion was made by Unglaub, seconded by Baszczuk, to adjourn the Meeting.  Aye votes Maranto, Unglaub, Baszczuk, Zernzach, and Ford. Carried Unanimously.

Meeting adjourned @ 9:47 A.M.                                                     Respectfully Submitted,
