February 25, 2009 Regular Meeting

After the Pledge of Allegiance P. Sullivan gave what was considered a farewell speech.

Owners speaking on the issues relating to agenda items were for some reason asked to wait until the end of the meeting.

GM/Armando report was the usual fines, violations, and repairs. Outdoor pool was said to be open. Work started on bath house one. The bids on the roof were brought up.

Jan. 31st Minutes were approved.

Treasurer’s report – Director Steffensen read off the P&L. Director Hansen brought up for the second time the fact the board is putting different numbers in the minutes than what is disclosed at month end and feels that such is wrong. During this report Director Burke made a pointed remark towards Director Dodson.

Committee Reports
D&E- many parties were announced. Our GM said that one of the reasons for loss revenue from the restaurant is that they don’t sell enough to pay for the overtime wages.
Golf- P. Sullivan announces night golf raised $350 from tips which will turn into concrete. There will be club champion tourney. Concrete currently being poured between holes 1-10 donated I believe by Gary Stebbins.
TW update-Director Dodson again mentioned that the problems are being handled and they are becoming less. Director Dodson started to give Armando’s phone number to contact for problems in the future. Immediately our GM told her no Aramark employee is to handle anything pertaining to TW. Director Hansen asked the GM if he was saying he will not oversee the contracts of LIV and help to service the owners with problems. Director Dodson said she did not feel she should be a sole contact for service complaints. After Director Burke talked to the GM it was agreed upon a method similar to our previous cable company and management will forward complaints to the cable company.


Unfinished Business

Roof Bids- Motion passed to have Perry Roofing, the lowest bid, do our roofs at the Welcome and Activity Centers.

2009 Budget- There was a request by Director McBride to have a full time employee be added to the work force. Director Burke sided against it with saying that we have as per the Aramark contract. Director McBride said that the number of workers has not been getting the job done.

Berry Pools- Director McBride asks the board to consider cancelling the Berry contract and hire an experienced pool operator. Our GM appeared to have arranged a representative from Berry Pools there who gave a very good presentation but didn’t know the answers for many of our owners having hair loss and swim attire ruined. He did say he would look into it for answers.
There was no action to cancel their contract that is substancially increasing.

Rescind motion to transfer funds- was done and approved to wait until the end of the year.
Committees- It was talked about what committees to recommend to the new Board.


New Business

Replace Skid tractor-there was a long discussion on repair. Questions on whether to keep it and buy a new mower, repair or don’t repair and trade it in for more usable piece of equipment that has mower capability. When all was said and done, a motion to repair it for now and have the new board take care of it after obtaining three bids on the above. Our GM said twice that this skid tractor was a $56,000 piece of equipment. He said it shouldn't being given away.

Commercial dump area control-Director Burke wants to put contractors on a specific dumping time schedule along with having an Aramark employee monitoring their dumps.

Copier use in Office- motion passed to install an identification emblem to the copier glass that will show on each copy. This will show if out copier is used.

Electronic privacy policy-There was a motion passed to have owners that don’t wish to have their private information sold to whoever wants to pay $25, must fill out a form saying such at the Welcome Center.

Stop sign enforce for bicycles and golf carts- Director Burke wants everyone on a bicycle and golf cart to make a full stop at each stop sign. It was suggested to tell security and put a notation on channel 18.

General Manager/Aramark contract/ Code of conduct-Director Hansen questioned the GM’s statements that he made at his personal town hall meeting last Tuesday, in which he explained his side of the nepotism situation. One question was why he told owners that Les did not report directly to him, the GM. Director Hansen recited four different items in the Aramark contract with LIV that said Les reports to the GM, or that the GM oversees Les. Our GM said that I told my story Tuesday night, I not going to report it again. Director Hansen then asked why he (the gm) said he was not related to Les. Our GM said he didn’t say that. Director Hansen said you said the last time I checked I was not related. Our GM said that’s correct and I said I would look into it. He said he is not speaking any more, and that this is an Aramark policy, this is Aramark’s code, they’re dealing with it, and you let them deal with it. Then he said they have already dealt with it. P. Sullivan cut it off right there and was instantly interrupted by an owner talking about the lawsuit court order that Director Mulch and Reta Priest caused in suing six of our Directors, claiming that no director can terminate our GM. Director Hansen response was he was trying to get facts, not terminate. There was a quite loud and unruly howl of comments from these same ten or so people who displayed their riotous actions at previous meetings.

Owners speaking on agenda items
Lot 170 I couldn’t hear clearly enough because he didn’t step up to the mike.

Lot 319 said we are doing a wrongful termination. He started shouting very loud at Director Hansen and received the applause of these same ten or so people.

There was a question as to why the action of removing our GM was made public and not done in private. Director McBride said that during the executive meeting in April our GM wanted it to be addressed in public and that Director Burke said he had every right to do that. The Gm said that this was not true. He said said he was asked to come upstairs to resign and told his boss to have them do in public, that he was ot going to resign and wash it under the carpet.

Lot 305 was the one who interrupted the President and said to end this meeting and let the new Board handle it.

Other

Director Dodson mentioned a few items about TW and additional cameras from Security.

Director Burke said the cost difference between unlicensed Aramark and Securitas was higher because taxes were added twice to Aramark.

Lot? Owner asked why don't all the Directors provide documents to verify their educational backgrounds.
