Comments from the suggestion box

Lot? Complained of cold food at chicken night and on the buffet during a 40 plus breakfast get togeher that was scheduled at the Grill.

Lot 708 said the washrooms, women’s lounge area, indoor pool changing area's cleanup sign off sheet has not been posted or signed since Feb. 1st. Maintenance, trash area, and dumpster by the tennis courts are very unsightly. Why are these not being cleaned up? Armando who was sitting in for our absent GM said he would take care of it.

Lot 288 complained about the concrete forms that were laying in piles and look bad while killing the grass. Armando said it will be taken care of.

Lot 494 said that there were times no comment forms available this summer and if it is policy that the LIV copier and supplies are to be used by candidates seeking election? It was said there is no policy. It was also asked about seeing receipts for the recent items distributed.

Lot 494 said that last summer had complained about owner personal information being use such as names, addresses, and ph #. This was being divulged by the Village office and has again received mailing from this info by candidates running for the board. How are these individuals being provided with my name and address? Is it the policy of LIV to share owner information in an electronic form? Director Burke said like the last time this was brought up, anyone can buy this info from the office for $25.

Lot 249 complaint was pointed toward Director McBride because he didn’t give a response in writing back personally from his comment. He went on to say his negative opinions about the board and their harassment of management and Aramark this summer. Director McBride said he would mail him the same response that he had posted in the Library.

Lot 249 asked for the board to reconsider the decision not to financially help Mr. Freeland in a survey he is conducting. P. Sullivan said at Mr. Freeland’s request, this has been put on hold.

Lot 106 complained about lot 58 and 108 for their unsightliness and a few common ground items in need of repair.

Lot 586A complained about security letting them through with no sticker. Director Dodson said the security guard who did that has since been terminated.

Questions from the audience

Selba Campbell asked if security do rounds at night. Answer was yes.

Lot 638 asked questions about TW Internet service. Director Dodson said she is currently trying to get some answers. Director Burke said contrary to what Director Dodson had said that she knew of two men (high ups w/TW) named Trevino and Aguilar that said they could help with any of the problems with TW. Director Burke talked at length about how they said these two could help if we had a list of the problems and give the list to these two men. Director Dodson said that she and Armando have already been doing this for some time and if Director Burke wishes to take over this oversight, that would be just fine with her. She said Armando is taking down the complaints and faxing them to Xavier at ATW.

WORKSHOP
Budget items- Directors will have a week of review per Director Steffensen.

Director Hansen said he had a problem with the manager's salary staying the same when his responsibility is now less, referring to security now being ran by Securitas. Also spreading this salary now towards rental, restaurant, and golf course will show higher losses. Director Steffensen said he is on a salary that stays the same no matter what he does. Director Burke said this manager never received an increased for doing security so it should not be decrease. Director Dodson recalls that someone got a $7000 increase to wages somewhere when security became an unlicensed project by Aramark and will look into those exact fees. Director Burke seemed adamant that none of the managers received any increase in salaries.

A meeting was set on Tuesday the 24th at 10am to discuss more on the 2009 budget

Director Peterson wanted on the agenda to discuss what he feels is a problem that no one has a clue at what it cost our restaurant to make a hamburger for a customer and that our management has not had a health inspector in our restaurant for three years. Why?

Director Hansen wanted on the agenda to discuss the Tuesday’s the 17th town hall meeting that our GM held giving his explanations of being related another manager and why he stated in at a previous meeting he was not. He said that it needs to be put on record because it was a blatant lie and needs to be addressed.

Director Dodson said there will be items about changes to the using of the electronic owner information and more on TW.

Director McBride wants a review of certain ideas as how to keep from misusing of LIV’s copier machine. He also wants to discuss the use of Berry Pools and possibly going back to the way it was.

P. Sullivan said a $12,000 cost to replace a motor on a piece of golf course machinery as opposed to buying machine that can do more for $16,000. Director Steffensen asked how old is the equipment that is broke? The answer was 5 yrs. She then questioned the life expectancy of such equipment which brought up the reasons of why the ISIS maintenance information was never made available to members on the audit committee. P. Sullivan then tried to stop this conversation saying that it wasn’t relevant. Director Peterson said he thought it was because if maintenance is not being performed, then buying new equipment would not be advisable. The President stopped it there.

Director Burke wanted to talk about the commercial dumping and about bicycle/golf carts not stopping at stop signs.

Director Steffensen had annual report and budget, plus the allocation of $20,000.

Armando was asked about the bids on the roofs for the welcome center.

Director Steffensen had a problem between the original and revised minutes. Director Steffensen went on to say that the minutes should read as the original. Director McBride said he edited the redundant comments, long conversations, and try to keep to motions made and who voted. Director Steffensen said that this was why Director Mulch was relieved of his position. Director Mulch made the remark that that when he was secretary he tried to be fair, but that you (referring to Sect. McBride) don’t know what the word fair means. Director McBride said anything that someone wishes to add, he would add it.
