The Board met at the home of Jennifer Yurina’s on 11 October 2001. In attendance were Jim Evans, Evelyn Hempstead, Gene Cole, Jennifer Yurina and Beverly Franklin. Tom Quigley arrived late.

The draft minutes of the September meeting were approved via email. We approved the August minutes at the meeting.

New Business

Gene Cole has the reservation in for the General Meeting at Sydenstricker Methodist for 6 Dec. Regarding the treasury report, cash balance is down to about $62, 755 due to the $12,105 payment for the milky spore application.

Jennifer mentioned that Home Depot and Lowes offer military discounts. Jim Evans confirmed that Home Depot is offering a 10% discount to all military members through 23 October. Jim suggested we might want to put this tip on our web site. Jennifer is having Presley Asphalt coming out to survey the trails for discussion at the General Meeting. She will also call to have litter removed from the trails that will cost several hundred dollars. We felt at least two “must do” community improvements were to repair the community trails, and paint curb numbers. These improvements will be discussed at the General Meeting along with member suggestions. We also intend to discuss how to pay for the improvements – special assessment, increased dues, or fund out of reserves. Jennifer will provide Jim Evans the information on pipestem signs, and Jim will follow up to have deteriorated signs made at LFHA expense and replaced with volunteer assistance – after approval as a “need to do” improvement at the General Meeting.

It was noted that there has been no further dialog regarding the monopole tower construction at the firehouse.

Evelyn agreed to talk to the families who live nearest our entranceway plants to see if she could reach an agreement with having them water the plants.

In preparation for Community Day, Jim will bring two bags of ice and a tub. Evelyn will bring drinks, tablecloth, plates, napkins and cookies. We will order pizza once we arrive at the site. The event is weather permitting.

Harry passed by email that the Web site was updated with October through December events and the post cards announcing the Community Day went out to all LFCA residents last week.

We will meet at Dave Wilson’s house next month.

Meeting adjourned at 8:35.

Board minutes respectfully submitted by Jim Evans, LFCA Secretary
