MOTION: That the Board is asked to approve the attached Board Objectives with the exception of #8 (Organizational Development). Further, that the Board distributes these objectives through the Bits and Pieces to the Membership and develop a Plan of Action Milestone (POA&M) for keeping the Membership informed on the Board’s progress regarding these objectives.
The motion was unanimously carried.
DISCUSSION
1. The Design Review Group and Public Works Committee will brief the Board on the results of an engineering evaluation of the entire Clubhouse’s structure. (0707-07, Streseman/Haushalter/Hall)
Director Streseman made the motion, with a second by Director Pryor.
MOTION: That the Board accepts the recommendations from the engineer as outlined in his report dated August 21, 2007. Further, the Board directs staff to proceed with the repairs which will be completed by our in-house Public Works Department and outside contractors, as time permits.
Tom Hall reviewed the analysis by John Tryon, Civil Engineer. He said that 90% of the floor area is on sound footings, but 10% of the floor and roof area are supported on rotting poles. He recommended that the poles along the east and west walls be removed and replaced with concrete footings. Drainage flows to the west of the building should be diverted to prevent rotting. He recommended that the large pine tree adjacent to the east wall be removed as it would get in the way of repairs and could cause damage to the building if it fell over in a big storm. It was estimated that repairs would cost between $5,000 and $10,000.
The motion was unanimously carried.
2. The Planning Committee will provide the Board with an analysis of a proposal from the Wildwood Ridge Phase II developer to annex this property into Lake Wildwood Association. (0709-04, Planning Committee/Haushalter)
Director Pack started the discussion and said he was not sure we wanted to hold a Town Hall Meeting on this, since there have been so many negative responses already.
Director Pack made the motion, with a second by Director Streseman.
MOTION: That the Board realizes that it has no interest in the annexation as presented in the proposal from Wildwood Ridge and directs staff to reply to Wildwood Resolution, LLC, about the Board’s decision.
Gary Eckhardt of the Planning Committee said that there would be negative impacts on our property values and our amenities. The financial returns would be slow and less than the $6M, as suggested. There would be increased security problems and additional costs in improving our facilities. Mike said that we probably should not annex at any price.
Marge Barnett, Lot #726, said that she has lived on the lake before there was a lake. She said that the lake and our amenities are already overcrowded, especially on holidays.
The motion was unanimously carried.
J. NEW BUSINESS
The Board will be asked to approve budgeted FY 2007/08 Replacement Reserve Funds not to exceed $18,500 to repair/update the bridge and weir at Meadow Park. This amount includes $2,000 for an engineering plan. (0709-05, Watson/Haushalter)
Director Streseman made the motion, with a second by Director Springer.
MOTION: That the Board approves budgeted FY 2007/08 Replacement Reserve Funds not to exceed $18,500 to repair/update the bridge and weir at Meadow Park. Upon completion of this project, the bridge will be removed from future Replacement Reserve Schedules because its life span would be far beyond 30 years.
Tom Hall of the Planning Committee said that the work would be completed when the lake is down and Meadow Park would be closed for 10 days. Members would have to park their trailers at the Deer Creek inlet or in their driveways.
The motion was unanimously carried.
