The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Judy Hammond.
Declaration of Quorum: Vice-President Judy Hammond presiding.
Resident Comments/Concerns:
New Business: Winter 2013 Newsletter. Judy Hammond stated that Rob Frits would like information for the newsletter to be enclosed with the POA dues invoices mailed out at the end of 2012. For example, information about the tree situation, covenants, neighborhood safety, etc.
Secretary’s Report: both reports were emailed to board members prior to tonight’s meeting for their review.
Treasurer’s Report: presented by Alicia Hines.
The finance committee met on Monday night and reviewed the attached
September financial reports.
Items of interest:
The balance in the Signature bank account is down from last month
due to a property owner “reversing” her credit card payment of $500
including a $25 fee charged to us. I sent the property owner a statement
for the $525 and will take further action if necessary.
The expenses are under budget – utilities are down from previous
month (those bills have been reviewed)
We were down in maintenance – only street lights were repaired.
I paid the CPA for the tax returns for 2010 & 2011 which have been
filed.
The Christmas lights that were voted on in September will show up as
1/2 half down in October to order and 1/2 when job is completed.
We are still waiting on the final cleaning bill for the pool
building so we should be almost complete with pool expenses for the year.
Budget:
The committee approved a budget to present to the board at Monday’s meeting.
The committee is not asking for the budget to be approved at Monday’s
meeting but to take it home and study it – send Rob questions if you have
any and those will be answered. The budget will have a memo sheet attached
explaining the items so each board member has time to process before the
discussions take place in November’s meeting.
Also, I would like to slow down on some of the printing that I do for
meetings so I will email the full financials each month but bring only the
balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenses and changes. We have cut
expenses so I must do my part to be prudent regarding all the printing. I
will printout the agenda and the minutes but will try to use smaller font on
the minutes to save paper.
If you need the full set of financials, let me know and I will print it out
for you.
As always, if you should have any questions before Monday – please let us
know. I am grateful for the finance committee’s leadership (Rob and Jerry)
and appreciate the time they make in their schedules to meet.

The report also included this note from Rob Frits:
Just as a housekeeping items, remember we don’t normally have December meeting due to travel, however last year we didn’t have everything settled up in time to give everyone a break. I would like work toward that this year as we have all done a great job and deserve it. Therefore, if any and all committee heads have items to address, please bring those up at the November meeting.
Rob Stark moved to approve the September financials, seconded by Tommy Hensen. The motion passed 8-0.

South bridge repaired
