The Communications Committee hoped to mail the letter by the first of the next week. The Committee will use Kerry Waters to stuff and mail the letter.

Nancy Schaefer also presented the Board with a copy of the Communication Committees Minutes from their meeting on November 16, 2004 at Teri Drake’s house. During the meeting, the Committee developed a new name for the newsletter, appointed an editor for the newsletter (Vicky Carrero), established a sub committee for the website headed by Chaun Goins, and developed a schedule for mailing newsletters.


OLD BUSINESS

Review of the Books
Julie Mueller said she had taken the boxes of records to Mike Gorrell, the CPA. They broke the seals on the boxes in Mr. Gorrell’s office. Mike said he should know by Friday the 19th a price estimate for doing a review and the length of time needed to complete the review.

Termination of Contract with HOA Management, LLC
On Monday Julie Mueller went to HOA Management, LLC to make sure they received the Boards letter that had been faxed the night before. Julie spoke with Bo Armentrout who told Julie that Lancaster Park HOA would be receiving a complete refund of the $700 that it had paid to HOA Management, LLC.

Julie Mueller also explained that all of the bills which had been neglected by HOA Management, LLC are now up to date.

Tim Custer, Julie Mueller, and Ashley Bullard have signed all necessary documents at RCB Bank to have control of Lancaster Park HOA’s bank accounts. Julie Mueller would be getting a finalized copy of the documents from RCB Bank at the end of the week.


NEW BUSINESS

  • Tim Linehan got an e-mail stating that the documents to merge the two Associations into one had not been signed by the separate Boards. These signatures needed to be gathered so that the documents to merge Lancaster Park I and Lancaster II could be finalized. Tim said that he would get the signatures gathered since he knew who all the old Board Members were.
  • Julie Mueller said that the Board had received a letter from Kennett Sen stating that at his closing the previous week the title company withheld $500 from his settlement since they could not get an affirmation that his dues were current. Julie said that she would get a letter to his title company to satisfy their requirements for release of his funds.
  • Brian Neufeld asked about the status of the HOA’s liability insurance. Tim Custer volunteered to get a copy of the policy from State Farm and to determine the status of the policy. Julie also requested that Tim Custer check on the bonding of the officers also.
  • Sylvia Dewy asked if anyone knew who had the Christmas decorations that the HOA puts up every year.
  • Tim Linehan suggested that the Maintenance Committee could evaluate Lancaster Park procuring a storage unit to store documents, decorations, and other such items.
  • Brian Neufeld stated that the Board needed to start considering a budget for 2005 soon.
