4.                   Committee and Staff Reports

 

a.       Communications............................................................................................... Martha Oxford

1)       Newsletter will go out first week of April.  Going to new legal-size format.  We can get the same amount of information on 3 legal size sheets as we can on 4 letter size sheets.  This will save us money by reducing the number of color copies that we make.

2)       Working on updating the internal directory.  Lots of new email addresses have been added to Dwayne’s list and have been updated by Betty in Quick Books.

 

b.       Maintenance/Security........................................................................................ Jim Porterfield

2)       Maintenance crew is working on the landscape area in front of clubhouse cleaning and reworking flagstone path and getting ready for spring planting

3)       Discovered mold in the library ceiling because of roof leak.  Maintenance crew found problem on the roof and have patched and sealed.  Drywall in library will need to be replaced.

4)       Tried to talk with people who run stop sign.  Seems to be helping a little.

5)       Sent letter to property owner concerning loose dogs; however, dogs are still loose.  Dwayne will stop and talk with the owners.  Fine can be issued.

d.       Architectural Control/Variance............................................................................ Martha Oxford

1)       There are 17 active permits – 6 new homes, 1 remodel, 3 retaining wall, 2 boathouses and 5 miscellaneous.  We’ve collected $4317.50 since January 1.

2)       1 lot was sold – Lot 112, Blk 36, Sec IV for $2000. [NE corner of King John & King Andrew (second entrance)].

3)       We can do non-judicial foreclosures.  This is a process to foreclose on delinquent or written off lots without having to go through a court.  The process takes 6 months and would cost an estimated $150 per foreclosure.

OLD BUSINESS

 

5.   Dwayne will draft a Board Resolution clarifying the meaning of the Covenants in regards to property rental in KCPOA.

6.   Mike Hellman questioned the road encroachment agreement as reported in the minutes of the February meeting.  His understanding is that the dues will be waived as long as Bill Hagan owns the property.  If he sells it, the new owner will be responsible for the dues.  The road easement though will be permanently attached to the lot.  New paperwork will be drawn up to clarify this.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

6.     Yard sale sign-up sheets are on the bar in the kitchen.  Please sign-up for open time slots.

 

7.     July picnic – Second Annual picnic will be held on July 17.  We will provide the meal – roasted pork loin, potato salad, cole slaw, chips.  We’ll add some hamburgers and hot dogs for kids.  Dessert will again be watermelon.  We will provide name tags this year.  It will be nice to have a name & street location on the tags.  Suggested that T-shirts would be nice.  Unfortunately we don’t have a copy of our logo to do screen print shirts.  Logo contest was suggested.  Will run in April newsletter and see what kind of results we get. 

 

8.     Election of board of directors – At the moment, we have 3 candidates.  We are waiting from replies from 2 other people.  Candidates have to be selected by April 1.  If we only have 3 candidates for the 3 open positions, we can declare them elected and suspend the election by ballot.
