Board Meeting – January 6, 2009

Country Walk Board Meeting on January 6, 2009
The meeting was called to order at 7:24 pm in the Clubhouse.  In attendance were:  Bill Swedberg, Rocco Cioffoletti, Mickey Lauria, Scott Templeton, and Warren Adams.

 

Treasurer Rocco Cioffoletti addressed financial issues.  He summarized expenses for 2008, presented a detailed end-of-year expense sheet, and updated the 2009 budget to initialize with the ending balances from 2008.  While 2009 fees are not yet due, 32 of the 157 lots have already paid.

 

Accomplishments during the past month.

  • The clubhouse heat was fixed and a new thermostat, with a 5-year warranty, was installed at a cost of $220.  Treasurer Rocco paid Tilson Mechanical in full.
  • The annual Christmas Eve luminaries were a success.  Thanks are due to Denise Gianforcaro.
  • The Clubhouse Christmas party for children was a success.  Thanks are due to Denise Burton, Lori Dickes, Lisa May, and Suzanne Swedberg.

 

Discussion of Old Business.

  • The security fence bordering Highway 123 has still not been completed.  There is an open access segment, and approximately 483 additional feet of fence to be constructed.  Oconee Fence Company (OCF) has been stating that the job cannot be finished because of the hard ground due to lack of rain.  Rocco called them over the holidays to insist that they promptly finish the missing segment (for which they have already been paid).  OCF informed him that they wish to finish the entire job, including the additional 483 feet.  If the missing segment is not completed soon, Rocco will take further action, and contact another company for the remaining 483 feet.
  • Lot 141, 603 Red Maple Way, is under foreclosure.  The Board is awaiting word on legal proceedings to attempt to recoup the unpaid fees and interest of approximately $3200.

 

Discussion of New Business.

  • The Architectural Control Committee will be contacted by Bill Swedberg to determine whether any new construction plans have been submitted.  Board members have been questioned relative to new housing plans.
  • Discussions took place as to subdivision priorities for 2009.  Priority items included updating the tennis courts and pool deck.
  • As Board meeting dates are set one month in advance, it was agreed that the secretary will send a reminder a few days in advance.

 

Committee reports.

 

The next Board meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, February 3 at 7 pm in the clubhouse.

 

The meeting concluded at 8:08 pm.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Warren P. Adams
