MINUTES FOR THE LAKE FOREST COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

BOARD MEETING

July 25, 2002

 

Meeting opened at 7:40 p.m.

 

Present: Wes Cox, Bev Franklin, Steve Gilbert, Evelyn Hempstead, Harry Hopkins, Tom Quigley, Dave Wilson. Absent: Jim Evans

 

Old Business

 

Bills presented: Harry, newsletter and post cards for the June semi-annual association meeting ($63 stamps, $9.93 printing post cards, $74.53 printing, $5.81 paper and $18 postcards); Dave , $104.50 for plaques (retiring board members); Evelyn, $1,465 entrance redo and $980 for maintenance of common property; and Steve, $100 for seller’s packets.

 

Audit: Jim Evans gave the board the name of Drew Van Riper to do the audit of the books. Drew did an outstanding job. He charged $970 for the years 1999, 2000 and 2001. He gave us copies of reports and will be glad to do it each year for $200/$300 per year. Board approved.

 

Steve received the license for the association and also received our deposit back from the church for renting the hall for our June meeting.

 

Evelyn reported that the entrance to Modisto is almost complete with the wall up, plants in and mulch which will have a final application yet to be done. Nandina and stepping stones will be put by the message sign. Water is still a problem even though two entrances are being watered by neighbors. She has been carrying water to the sign on Maritime Lane and the water truck has done some also. She will look into what it would cost to put in a sprinkler system or tap into the water line (billing to the association) for the entrances. She also suggested that we spiff up the entrance signs one a year to keep the yearly expense down.

 

At the next meeting, the board will take up the question of where to get the additional money for the entrance sign work giving the board members a chance to look over the budget.

 

Harry reported that Wes’s name was put on the web site as a board member. He reminded us that we are still one board member short so we will all work to entice someone to join us. The hits to the web site have gone up 21%.

 

Tom reported that a homeowner called about a tree to be removed off Fisherman’s. After discussion, it was determined the large limb needed to be removed, but not the tree itself. Tom will contact Bill Meeker to have him remove the limb.

 

Bev will call George of Southern Asphalt to see what the status is of repairing the trails.

New Business:

 

New board members: President, Bev Franklin; Vice President, Steve Gilbert; Secretary, Jim Evans; Treasurer, Wes Cox; Grounds, Evelyn Hempstead and Tom Quigley; and Community Relations, Dave Wilson.

 

Community day will be in September (not on a home game for the Redskins). Steve will look into what is necessary to block off a part of Maritime Lane.

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

 

Next meeting at Bev’s house August 8, 7:30 p.m.
