Board Members in attendance were: Rob Frits, Judy Hammond, Nancy Brown, Tommy Hensen, Jerry Martin, Rob Stark, Ralph Gresham, Glenn Jones, and Jamey Smithson.
Also in attendance were Alicia Hines, Treasurer; John Duke, Property Manager, and Matt Baker, ARC.
The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by President, Rob Frits.
Declaration of Quorum: President Rob Frits presiding.
Resident Comments/Concerns: none
New Business: none
Steve Lisle, resident, and Anita Parisi, swim instructor, presented ideas for the summer’s swim team. Anita will have professional level coaches. Only Har-Ber Meadows residents children will participate. There will be practice 3 days per week, possibly MWF mornings for 1 hour per child from 8-10 or 9-11 a.m. The cost will be $75.00/month for each child to be paid to Anita Parisi and her coaches. Steve and Anita are asking for permission to use our pool for the activity. They will do all the work. However, they may need lane ropes and are asking HBM to purchase those for an estimated $3,650.00. Discussion and questions from the board members followed the presentation. Judy Hammond suggestion that Steve and Anita find out the number of children that are interested in doing this by possibly putting this out on Facebook. The board needs to know the amount of interest from the residents before we could cost justify the lane rope expenditure. We need the information within the next few weeks and would also like the proposal in writing.
Secretary’s Report: presented by Nancy Brown. The minutes were emailed in advance to the members for their review. Judy Hammond moved, seconded by Jerry Martin to approve the minutes for January 2013. The motion passed 9-0.
Treasurer’s Report: presented by Alicia Hines. The finance committee met last Tuesday night for a review of the January financials. The following items were discussed.
The balance sheet – It shows that I have divided the special events funds so it can be
kept separate. I have worked on depreciation to agree to the auditor’s
records so you could possibly see some changes in the accumulated
depreciation.
The membership dues invoiced were $317,020. During January, there
was $150,407.50 collected and deposited. The accounts receivable is made up
of the delinquent balance of 2012’s and the 2013 invoiced amount less the
payments.
The revenues statement – Nothing really stands out. There have been monthly expenses but
nothing out of the ordinary. I made an adjustment to the reports after the meeting based on prepaid insurance. I have adjusted it to make sure it agrees with budget amounts..
Judy Hammond moved, seconded by Nancy Brown to approve the January 2013 financial reports. The motion passed 9-0.

Neighborhood Watch is in limbo. No one wants to organize it.
