HOA Board Meeting June 18, 2009

Present: Bob Wolfgang, Gary Petersen, Fran Oroson, Jim Curley
Absent: Gerry Kovolchuk, Mindy Schwartz

Bob Wolfgang, Vice President, opened the meeting at 6:30 pm. Gerry and Mindy were not in attendance due to illness.

The financials were reviewed with no undo expenses noted. The delinquency list was also reviewed and noted.

In response to the e-mail received regarding the front lawn at Unit 149. It was noted that this area would need to be reseeded; however, now it not the time to do this. Reseeding and aeration will be done in the Fall. When the reseeding is completed, the homeowner will need to water this area until the seed has a chance to grow, otherwise, it will die out.

The repair work done to the back of Unit 100 is complete and the homeowner is happy with what has been done. Since the owner of Unit 102 decided he did not need additional work done behind his unit, the initial estimate of $2150 was reduced. The estimate for the repair done at Unit 100 is $1400.

Unit 134 reported termites under the front window of his condo. Jim Curley Properties (JCP) was notified and the termite contractor, Nashville Pest Control, was called and treated Unit 134.

Jim also reported that another unit owner called and reported a water leak in his garage. Jim requested that this owner send his request to him via e-mail rather than verbally, because this owner has reportedly not been honest with JCP in the past. The Board Members agreed that JCP was within his rights to require said request in writing. Bob Wolfgang said some of the water leaks could be due to poor or worn-out caulking. It was suggested that JCP get estimates on what it would cost to have all windows caulked.

Bob said he was pleased with the trimming the landscapers did this Spring. However, some of the shrubs look like they will need to be trimmed way back in the Fall, then next Spring when the shrubs come back they will thicker and more attractive.

Gary Petersen reported the Welcome Sign will soon be installed at the top of the hill. Leaving The Greens the sign will read “Welcome to Fairway Point” and on the other side, coming in The Greens, the sign will read “Welcome to The Greens”. Fairway Point’s Homeowner’s Association will be splitting the cost of this sign with The Greens.

There was discussion regarding crime in the area. It was agreed that there is some crime everywhere in Nashville and it is impossible to protective ourselves from any crime at all. We all need to be mindful of what is going on around us and our neighbors, and report anything that looks suspicious. We also need to keep in mind that we are surrounded by other communities and that residents of those communities often walk through The Greens to get to the swimming pools at the Nashboro Village apartments. This discussion lead into putting up “No Trespassing” signs around The Greens. It was unanimously agreed by the Board Members present that this would most likely not stop the residents from the surrounding condo communities from “cutting through” The Greens to get to the apartments. JCP, however, it still getting estimates for these signs.

The estimates for replacing outside lighting, at the unit owner’s expense, is still being checked. Jim reported that he is still waiting on a couple of estimates as the ones he has received appear to be out of line. We should have estimates by the July meeting.

JCP reported that we do have a major problem that needs to be taken care of immediately. The brick on the outside of Unit 110 has cracked from the foundation to the roof. When built the brick was not properly installed on the foundation, thus the cracking and pulling apart of the brick. To correct this problem, jacks will need to be installed pushing the brick back together. This is a problem that needs immediate attention otherwise we will have an even greater expense in repairing it. JCP is getting estimates now and will let the Board know what the cost will be as soon as possible.

Fran Oroson reported that the sink hole behind Unit 132 is growing and that something there will need to be done soon. JCP reported that it was scheduled to be checked out on Friday, the day after the board meeting.

Bob adjourned the meeting.

Respectfully submitted by Fran Oroson in Mindy Schwartz’ absence.
