APRIL 25, 2005

3:30 P.M.

 

BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Dick Rudy, Dave Wheeler, Tom Kingston, Carol Katuzny, Dave Bobanick, Doug Schiebel, and Bill Browne. Bev Browne, Editor of The Teal Squeal was also present.

The meeting was called to order by President, Dick Rudy.

All members of the Board were present.

It was moved and seconded the minutes from the March 28, 2005 meeting be approved. The motion unanimously carried.

Financial Report: Tom Kingston reported that at this time, the low balance in the checking account is because the accountant has not yet received and deposited all checks from homeowners. * We have received the bill for the TLV share of the holding pond, in the amount of $1,115.00, which has been sent to the accountant. The check has not been received by Tom at this time. * Bob Duncan will be asked to advise on correcting a problem with the computer program used for making reports on income and expenses vs. budget.

ARC Report: Doug Schiebel reported there were seven applications received last month. Three were for painting, three were for landscaping, and one for a hot tub. All requests were approved. * There are dead shrubs in the common area at Crestview and Clearview that need to be replaced. Doug will approve replacing three plants. * It was questioned if the homeowner at 82 Sea Breeze had approval to replace the patio. Doug reported it had been approved.

LANDSCAPE REPORT: Dave Bobanick updated Four Seasons proposal to bark the entrance and the common areas. They estimate 60 cubic yards, but not to exceed 90 cubic yards, at $40. per yard, in place. Cost would be approximately $2,400., using medium bark mulch. It was moved, seconded and approved to allow Four Seasons to proceed with their proposal. * The Board has previously approved Four Seasons proposal to improve the landscaping at the Village entrance. This includes removing sod, weeding, and mulching. Total cost will be $800. * Dave B. and Dave W. inspected our fire hydrants for accessibility by the Fire Department. They found several to be in violation of the two-foot clearance. Four Seasons will trim and/or remove shrubbery to comply with the two-foot clearance, at a cost of $30. per hydrant. Dave B. will inform the homeowners near those specified fire hydrants, in the event they choose to retrieve any of the shrubbery scheduled to be removed. * Four Seasons has requested to install a secure hose bib at the Village entrance, in order to fill their sprayers. It would be on the left side, and out of sight. It was moved, second, and approved to allow the hose bib installation by Four Seasons. * It was questioned why the uphill side of Outlook was not mowed last time other common areas were mowed. Dave will ask the landscaper. * It was also questioned why there were no door hangers when Four Seasons fertilized the lawns. It is not in their contract, and is not required by law. However, homeowners expect to be informed since the landscape companies in the past have always left the door hangers. This is particularly important for those with pets, young children, or visiting grandchildren. Dave will ask Four Seasons to be begin this practice.

PLVA Report: Dave Wheeler reported the PLVC meeting on April 7th. Friction continues between Greg McCarry and Bert Loomis. McCarry questions if Loomis is a legal homeowner in Port Ludlow, and if he is not, should not be a member of PLVC.

* Pros and cons of the Trend West development were discussed. * Emergency Preparedness has received grant money and will be used to purchase identification vests for the volunteers. * Sandi Schmidt and Barbara Bradford will work together on the Friday Market, and will work to have more fresh produce and music to shop by.

* PL Fire District #3 sent twenty-two fire recruits to cut 3/4 mile of trail, in one day.

* The test for an Assistant Fire Chief will be May 25th. * Fire Station #33 at South Point Road and Highway 104 will have personnel assigned 24/7 starting approximately July 1, 2005. * The Volunteer Firefighters have purchase two new Automatic Electrical Defibrillators, and donated them to the fire district. * JCFD #3 hired a third paramedic. Port Ludlow now has 24/7 coverage in the district. * PLA AND PLVC will meet to establish a better working agreement and exchange of information. * PLVC will hire legal representation for needed changes to the by-laws. * The Voice has asked for an additional $200/month donation from PLVC. * Rae Belkim spoke about the negative impact on the entire community if the state selects Mats Mats quarry as the floating bridge graving site. It would be a ten-year commitment, operating 24/7.

SBCA REPORT: Bill Browne reported the Expansion Report is expected a week from Friday. A program will be established for when work will be done. * The CC & R's still need to be clarified. * Legal action has been taken against a homeowner who has started clearing land without permission. He claims he is not governed by CC&R's.

Old Business: Renewal of website; Jack Piper paid for use of server, "Front Page 2002". * Dave has posted the approved minutes from this year on the website. The budget was posted in Adobe format. The Teal Squeal will also be posted. * Carol Katuzny reported we are still on schedule for the "new flag" raising ceremony on Memorial Day at 4:00 P.M. * Mike Keefe changed the cable contract agreement from 94 to 97 homes, beginning May 1, at $26.00 per month per house. Channel selections are being discussed. * Our website is " Teal-Lake-Village.org". Millennium Cable Company has offered Cablespeed service at a bulk rate of $18.00 per house, requiring all 97 homes to sign up. The Board feels this is not likely to happen. If anyone wants a printout of our current channels, go to mdm.net on the Internet, then to Products, then to Channel lineups, and enter your city. For poor reception or poor service, we are to call 1-800-829-2225.

New Business: A new homeowner, Dick Allen has a computer background and would be willing to help our program.

Discussion From The Floor: The next Board meeting will be May 23, meeting at 3:00 P.M., with the official board meeting beginning at 3:30 P.M.

It was moved, seconded and approved the meeting be adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

Carol Katuzny, Secretary
