MAINTENANCE REPORT: Director Don Johnson stated that Maintenance has been keeping busy with a lot of tasks as they arrive. Also Maintenance was informed not to plow unless it exceeds three inches due to the snowmobiles.

 

Director Bob McErlean: Asked Director Don Johnson does the plow have wheels to keep it from cutting below three inches?

 

 Director Don Johnson: It does have skids on it but it is hard to do with our roads.

Treasurer Aggie Pennington announced, according to Attorney Rich Henry, we are limited in being able to check any vehicles that leave the park. I feel like this big stuff, like a snowmobile or a 100-pound gas tank that is being taken out of the park has to be taken out of here in a closed truck. Is there anyway we can check a closed vehicle before it leave the park?

                                                                    

 

Attorney Rich Henry: I would say not.

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington asked Rich if he could check into this for us and see what our liability would be. Can we at least ask the question and if they say no at least we know whom we can put under suspicion?

 

Bill Witz Glen 3 Lot 10: Being we are a private Community and we have our own By-Laws and Covenants, if we stop them on our side of the gate why is that illegal?

 

Captain Karim explained that what security usually does is ask the person who has a closed truck if they would mind opening the truck up so that security can see what is inside. 99 % of the time the person does comply. If a person would say no, what we do is take the plate number down and make up a report. 

 

Director Mike Dellorso: If you are taking a plate number down, then it should not be to hard to see if that person was in the park when things were taken and that would narrow down the search.

 

John Kovacevich Glen 3 Lot 561: Did anyone check the house in Tobyhanna where the police have found a bunch of quads in a garage?

 

Director Bob McErlean: Who would be in charge of that Pocono Regional?

Captain will look into this.

 

Tommy Turaino Glen 3 Lot 352: What I am suggesting is to place someone out there on a quad to patrol the back roads also have a camera ready in case this person finds

or sees something. I am willing to do this.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: We will take this into consideration.

 

RECREATION REPORT: None

 

ELECTION REPORT: None

 

FIRE DEPARTMENT: Chief John Kovacevich stated I would like to thank everyone on the Board for backing us up. We have received a grant from the State to pay for the Mule. We are asking if anyone one is interested in joining, please see me or come to the Firehouse.

TREASURER’S QUESTIONS: Mark Petruno Glen 3 Lot 371: How much are we being charged when a property owner pays with a credit card?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: I know we do not take American Express because that was a high fee.  I really do not know a round about figure of our charges.

Also, the electric box usage is for my neighbor and me correct?

MAINTENANCE REPORT: Director Don Johnson apologized to all the property owners who wanted to ride their snowmobiles and were not able to. Maintenance direction was when there is three inches or less of snow not to plow. I will take care of that. Copy of report is available at the office. 

 

SECURITY REPORT: Vice President Julie Kimmel we had three ambulance calls two people has slipped on ice. We had an incident of someone being pinned under an ATV. 

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: What when did this occur?

 

Captain Karim: It happened on January 15, 2010 at approximately 0237, while Corporal Witten was patrolling in Glen 10, he came around the curve near Glen 10 Lot 25 and saw an ATV on the side of the road. At first he assumed it was the new owner from Glen 9A Lot 35 as officer Parker had mentioned that he was around. When he got closer, he discovered the ATV was on its side just off the road and he heard a voice.

  He stopped, called base and then exited the patrol vehicle to discover Mike from Glen 9A Lot 35 pinned under the ATV (large green plate # 1410. His leg (no blood, bones, or bad pain). I asked him if he was ok and if he felt he needed an ambulance. He said he was fine and did not need an ambulance just needed help getting out.

 I told Mike that I was going to push the ATV up and he needed to pull his leg out. After his leg was free, I continued to push the ATV back onto its wheels. I helped Mike up and we were chatting as he was getting over his “embarrassment” and some pain in his leg and collecting items scattered on the ground. He managed to start the ATV and I lead him back to his property in the patrol vehicle. The ATV did not appear to have any damage. Mike parked the ATV for the night.

 

Richard Rosar Glen 9 Lot 221: I had advised Security about the situation in reference to the firewood. What is the policy on outside contractors coming into Breezewood?

Apparently this fellow said he was coming into Breezewood to do some work. My son and I were driving around. This fellow just looked suspicious.

  To prevent people from coming in I believe the property owner should let Security know when they are expecting a contractor to come to their property.

 

Office Administrator Rose Ann Senatore: Security is given a Contractors list every Friday.

 

Vice President Julie Kimmel: Ever since that incident we are getting the guards to take license plate numbers and trying to get ID from contractors that come in.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: Is he one of the Contractors that pay the $100.00 fee?

Captain Karim: I caught the thief at the gate when he was trying to leave Breezewood. He seemed to be under the influence of something I could not tell what. I asked the gentleman three times to take the firewood back to the site where he removed it. The gentleman refused. He started to get loud and I advised the gentleman that I was going to contact the State Police.

  The gentleman refused to wait he attempted to run me down. The gentleman turned towards the Recreation Center parking lot and tried to leave the Community. Due to all the snow the gentleman could not exit the Community. He tried to go out through the in bound gate Corporal Witten attempted to block the out bound exit gate the gentleman went around and preceded north up 196.

 The State Police arrived shortly after and took my statement and proceeded to look for the thief. The State Police advised me that the thief was charged with theft disorderly conduct and attempted assault with a vehicle. 

 

President Jim McFadden: We are working on procedures to prevent this from happening with the Contractors.

 

RECREATION REPORT: Director Tammy Benanti I am working on the calendar for the upcoming season.

 

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT: None

 

John Evans Glen 10 Lot 527: The white pick up truck I know one of the maintenance men is driving it. Tell the driver to slow down.

                                                                                      

OLD BUSINESS:

 

 Mark Petruno Glen 3 Lot 371: What is going on with the septic system up in 10?

 

Director Mike Dellorso: We are working on it. We are discussing putting in a new system. There are several different options we can take depending on where we can place the system. Where we decide to put the system the ground has to be able to perk. We have several options and we do not know if the entire area will perk

 

Mark Petruno Glen 3 Lot 371: Do we have any outlined property?

 

Director Mike Dellorso: We do but we are very limited.

 

President Jim McFadden: RKR Hess is working on a proposal so it can be submitted to the S.E.O.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS:  The following Resolutions were passed.

 

Resolution # 7: Salary Increase for Security effective January 1, 2010

                                                                              

                                                                                    (4)

(Back to list)

 

Resolution # 8: Approval of Alan Strand Contract for pool for the amount of $4,035.00 for the 2010 season.

 

Resolution # 9 Personal Injury Protection Insurance Auto Policy in the amount of $4,0765.00.

 

OPEN FORM:

 

John Evans Glen 10 Lot 527: Made a suggestion in reference to the heating of the pool. He gave the Board of Directors a brochure on the subject.

 

The Board thanked John.

 

Mark Petruno Glen 3 Lot 371: How are we doing with our electric since we changed over?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: We have a 2-year contract with a supplier.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: The septic field in Glen 10 was the proposal approved when will the work start?

 

President Jim McFadden: We are trying to buy some time. What we have to do is come up with some kind of proposal to present to Glen Martin SEO officer.

 

                                                                                   

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: I was under the impression that you already made a decision and you were ready to go?

 

Director Mike Dellorso: No, because there are different options we have to approach.

 

President Jim McFadden: We do not know if Glen is going to approve the option we will go with.

 

Director Don Johnson: Glen will approach the township when we have a couple of options on the table but we need time. If they would allow us to use Glen 10 maybe through the summer as long as we can this will help us. Then from that point we are going to meet with Glen and try to come up with a design and plan to do this.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Have they shut that system down?

 

Director Don Johnson: No

 

Director Mike Dellorso: It is still operational

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Then why would you need permission to use the system?

 

                                                                        (5)

(Back to list)

 

President Jim McFadden: If we do not move forward with a proposal, Glen will come in and shut us down.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: Fields 1 and 2 are in the process of failing. We do not know how long we have before we hit that point. Hopefully we can use it for the duration of the season containing it to only Glen 10 bathrooms no dumping of blue boys. It will be strictly for the use of the bathrooms and hopefully it can carry us through the season.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: I understand, but why do you need permission to use something we are using already?

 

President Jim McFadden: Glen wants to know what we are going to do.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: The Township is not sure if they are going to allow us to use fields 1 and 2.

 

Dennis Cooney: Glen 10 Lot 450: So as your pumping you will be hauling the sewage out.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: Yes we have 3 different options. You have 3 fields, drip system and a spray system. Spraying you do not want to do because it is above ground and you will smell it. He says no we have a treat waste yada yada yada. You have a drip system and the fields. We want to know if the same size drip system will handle the same amount of gallons per day as a field.

They are going to give us certain options to weigh one against the other because sometimes we have 6,000 gallons a day and other times we have 36,000 gallons a day.

 Will the drip system handle 36,000 gallons a day we are not sure yet. They are going to figure that out for us and then we will have to make a decision on which way to go.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: You have to find out if the land will perk and if it fails you cannot hold that information back.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: There are also different levels of perking.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Are you going to test different areas in 9A for perking?

 

                                                                        (6)

(Back to list)

 

Director Mike Dellorso: 9A, 11, the back of 10 behind Nick, there is almost 13 acres. It all depends. We discussed they may have to pump it. We would have to dynamite in certain areas to get the pipes underground to those places to get the pump to. We made a proposal if we can build fields and truck our own waste from site 1 to site 2 but we do not know if they would allow us to do that.

  There are a lot of different questions that are up in the air and he is going to answer those questions to us before we make a decision on what system we want to go with. Then we have to find the right amount of property besides the size of the system we need and if that area will handle that size of percolation. There are different levels of percolation. You have a slow perk and a fast perk. All depending on how the area perks or the other areas we will decide where we are going to put it.

 

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: You have to decide?

 

Director Mike Dellorso: You do not decide you have to figure out the amount of waste that you condense in this park. It is not going to be an estimate anymore. That field up there was designed to handle that bathroom.

 

Vice President Julie Kimmel: Hopefully we can take the proposal to Glen Martin and ask him this is what we would like to do. We would like to work with you if you can work with us. This is our proposal this is what RKR Hess is came up with.  Hopefully Wayne Gross will have the proposal ready by next week so that we can get the ball rolling.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: If he sees the ball is rolling maybe he can grant us a little grace as far as fields 1 and 2 being operational.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: How much is this costing us?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: RKR Hess was already paid for the testing and that was budgeted and you are well aware of that it was paid for. As far as from this point as to what he is doing, Jim will have to find out what that is costing us because I am sure he is billing us.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: You know we should not lock in with one vendor but unfortunately you cannot do anything about that now.

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: We already told RKR Hess we are going to put it out for bids.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: He also told us that he wanted some kind of language in there that we would allow him do the testing.

                                                                          

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: That is correct but we resolved that issue.

 

                                                                    (7)

(Back to list)

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Also this Security issue really bothers me. I congratulate Security for apprehending this person. What we went through last season on how many break-ins by letting people in here that do not belong here.

 The policies are there they just need to be enforced. I appreciate Security. I know that they have their hands full.

 

Gerald Lebeduik Glen 3 Lot 368: What happens if this area does not perk.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: The area in Glen 11 was tested before; it may not have to be tested again.

 

Gerald Lebeduik Glen 3 Lot 368: You know there is a time frame on perking.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: We still need to know as to what level the soil perks. It will have to be perked again in a certain couple of areas. We are not going to put one little tiny field in because we would be up the creek again. We need to build something that will be adequate for this Community.

 

 

Gerald Lebeduik Glen 3 Lot 368: You have to be careful because I have seen in certain areas where it did not perk and this is where you run into problems with surcharges and everything else.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: We do know the area will perk. It is to what extent and how many areas in that acreage that will perk.

 

Gerald Lebeduik Glen 3 Lot 368: Are you going to put in large sand mounds?

 

Director Mike Dellorso: We do not know yet. We are in the process of finding out.

 

Gerald Lebeduik Glen 3 Lot 368: You should post something around that area no traffic in this area.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: There is no traffic allowed in that area now.

They ride up to the area where crazy horse is between Osceola and the dump there is a hugh piece of acreage in there where nobody rides no vehicles in or out if you get the odd ATV but that would be cautioned off.

 

John Evans Glen 10 Lot 527: Are you going to leave 3 inches of snow on the ground so we can snowmobile? We did this years ago and had no problem Now it is because of ambulances and fire trucks to be able to get in here if needed. How many fire trucks and ambulances come in here?

                                                                  

Director Mike Dellorso: You also have people that do not have four-wheel drive trucks like you and I. When they come up here they do not want to deal with three inches of snow on the ground.

             

                                                                        (8)

John Evans Glen 10 Lot 527: We are a Community we are supposed to work together not against each other and that is what is happening here. We have thirty people up here all winter long. I am paying dues you are paying dues.

 

Director Mike Dellorso: At one point you are asking us to give you three inches of snow. Now you are saying that 3 inches of snow is not enough. We have a Security vehicle that has been in numerous accidents. Can we leave them three inches of snow? Do we have to drop the plows to the ground?

 

President Jim McFadden: I will speak to maintenance again.

 

President Jim McFadden any other Open Forum? I entertain a motion to adjourn.

 

Motion made by Secretary Barbara Ersch. Second by Director Mike Dellorso.

     President Jim McFadden announced that we have one item. It is a proposal from

     RKR Hess for testing and designing the system. The amount we are looking at will

     be $31,200.00 upon approval. Attorney Rich Henry is going to read the proposal

     and get back to us.

  

     Director Mike Dellorso: This will be for study and testing. It has to be done again.

 

     President Jim McFadden: This also includes the meeting with Glen Martin, the

     S.E.O.

 

     Treasurer Aggie Pennington: The study that was done prior to this one was on the

     existing mound. This study that RKR Hess is studying now will show us the

     topography and figure out and make recommendations on other locations and

     alternative methods.

 

     President Jim McFadden: The testing that was done before in 10 did not pass.

 

     Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Are you speaking of the testing in Glen 11

     for the septic system?

 

     President Jim McFadden: Yes

 

     Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: That was already done?

 

     Director Mike Dellorso: It has to be done again.

 

     Attorney Rich Henry: They will analyze whether or not the prior testing can be

     used again.

 

     President Jim McFadden: That was years ago that the perk testing was done.

 

     Dennis Cooney: When will the testing start? This may not be the best time of the

     year to do this.

 

     President Jim McFadden: We are trying to buy time with the meeting with Glen

     Martin, the S.E.O., to show him the proposal that we are moving forward.

 

     Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Are we going to be able to use the fields

     at all?

 

     President Jim McFadden: This is why we are presenting Glen with this proposal.  

     To see if he would give us approval to use fields one and two. We are trying to buy

     some time.

     President Jim McFadden: Asked if there was any other new business?

 

     OPEN FORUM:

 

     Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: If we have to send out our sewage instead of

     pumping up in 10, I suggest we contact a few vendors and get prices

     instead of going with one vendor. In these proposals it should be broken down as

     10 cents for the first 5,000.00 gallons and so forth.

 

     President Jim McFadden: We will look into all percentages and so forth.

 

     John Kovacevich Glen 3 Lot 561: It really should not be too much of a fee if they

     all drop off at the same place.

 

     President Jim McFadden: We received a fairly good discount from Gotta Go than

     we had with Koberlein. 

    

     Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Also a few years ago we had a problem with

     pumping water out of our tanks. We had a lot of ground water. So before we start

     pumping ground water I suggest we go around and check our tanks for ground

     water that may be filing up our tanks.

 

      President Jim McFadden: Any other questions for Open Forum? I entertain a

      Motion to adjourn.

 

      Motion made by Director Bob McErlean. Second by Treasurer Aggie

      Pennington.

     

      The March 13, 2010 meeting was adjourned at approximately 12:38 p.m. The next

TREASURER’S QUESTIONS:

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 lot 450: How does that compare with last year?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: We are above last year. I do not have the exact numbers. The incoming dues are better than last year and our money in the bank is better than last year.

 

President Jim McFadden entertained a motion to approve the expense adjustments.

 

Motion made by Director Don Johnson. Second by Vice President Julie Kimmel.

Motion passed.

 

LEGAL REPORT: Attorney Rich Henry-I have nothing specific to report at this time, except that we proceeded with the Restrictive Covenant case in the Court of Common Plea and we have a status conference this Monday. This will result in the scheduling order by the Judge and probably have a trial sometime in the fall.

 

LEGAL QUESTIONS: None

 

PARK COORDINATOR REPORT: I have been in touch with Attorney Henry in reference to four properties that we are looking into cleaning up and contacting the owners to take over the properties. We are in the process of doing this right now.

Also the Bugle is going to be online. We are also continuing to do improvements to the park as you can see. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to contact me or come in and see me.

 

PARK COORDINATOR QUESTIONS: None

 

BY-LAWS, GRIEVANCES & INVESTIGATIONS:  None

 

PUBLIC RELATIONS: None

 

PROPERTY CONTROL: We have numerous permits that are waiting on Township approval. Also, the shed size for the new ordinances for Lehigh Township is 10x12, which is 120 square feet max. I have spoken to Glen Martin, the supervisor, he is going to work with us.  You can ask for a variance, but it may cost you a few dollars. You may also have to attend a Township meeting. 

 

President Jim McFadden: Breezewood Acres had changed the shed size to 196 square feet but explained to everyone that, in March of this year, the Township made a new ordinance for the shed size to be 120 square feet.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Aaron Kaloustian Glen 10 Lot 175: They are looking for more money?

 

                                                      (2)

(Back to list)

 

President Jim McFadden: If they get enough variance requests, they will relook at the ordinance. They do not want to relook at the ordinance request before thirty days because it will cost the Township too much money to redo the ordinance. What they will have to do is get a Court Stenographer to redo the ordinance that was passed and also advertise that there is a new ordinance.

 

Question: What about the property owners that already have a shed 196 square feet?

 

President Jim McFadden: Anyone that has one now is grandfathered. This is only for new permits.

 

 

FINANCE AUDIT & BUDGET: Treasurer Aggie Pennington-As far as a budget standpoint, we have looked at all the line items and expenses, as well as income verse budget.  For the majority of the line items we are doing fine. There are a couple of line items we feel are trending high and we are keeping an eye on them to make sure we stay within our current years budget. We are also putting together our budget committee for the following year. We will probably set up some meetings in June.  We will start that process to make sure it is completed and ready for presentation for the September meeting. 

 

 

MAINTENANCE REPORT: Director Don Johnson-As you can see, Maintenance has been working on the Glen 10 water system. They had to repair a few hydrants that were leaking, which happens every year. They have also completed a few electrical repairs, which were needed. Our maintenance personnel are also working on placing stone down on our roads. The men are also working on the pool to have it up and running for the holiday weekend ahead. Sabo has completed the pool roof at the bathhouse, however, the lights at the pool still have to be repaired.  Someone will be here on Monday to complete this task.  We have received proposals from RKR Hess and Lehigh Township. Jim, myself, and Courtney will be meeting with Glen Martin SEO and RKR Hess Associates to submit our request of how we will proceed with the study of the drain field in Glen 10, and if the SEO will allow us to use the drain field for the summer.

 

   

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450:  Asked a question in reference to the drain field in Glen 10.  I could not hear what he asked on the tape.

 

Director Don Johnson: We have not done that yet Dennis. We are just submitting the proposal to SEO Glen Martin stating this is the procedure we would like to use and if we can, we are asking if we can keep two drain fields open for the summer.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 450: When will the starting of the construction of the mound  take place?

 

                                                               (3)

(Back to list)

 

Director Don Johnson: We will not be able to do that until we get the site test from RKR Hess and then actually get into starting the tests.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: On another issue, word on the hill is that Dennis Rinaldi, our maintenance foreman, is retiring?

 

Director Don Johnson: Dennis has filed for his Social Security and he has not decided as to what exactly he is going to do, whether he is going to quit or retire at the end of the season.

 

 SECURITY REPORT: Vice President Julie Kimmel-We had two citations issued- one for an unattended fire, the other for electrical box tampering. One warning citation was issued for careless driving. There were two thefts reported, one for lattice and the other for a leaf blower.  That is it, no vandalisms reported.

 

Vice President Julie Kimmel: Announced that any property owner that is having any Contractor coming into Breezewood to do any kind of work on their property must inform Security and the office first.  If they are not notified, then the Contractor will not be allowed into Breezewood.  Remember this is for your safety.

 

President Jim McFadden: As I see we have a couple of the Contractors here today.  Please advise any other Contractor that you know, that the Office and Security must be advised as to where you are working and when you are coming into Breezewood.   

 

Anthony Minutello Glen 2 Lot 36: The dump trucks that are coming in and dropping off gravel, you cannot see inside them once they drop off the gravel.  Is there any way we can put a camera high on a pole, so as they are leaving Breezewood we can see if there is anything inside the truck?

 

Director Don Johnson: We can look into this.

 

Director Barbara Ersch: On another note, did we ever put up a sign asking all box trucks, etc. if we can check what is inside the truck as it is leaving Breezewood with the owners permission?

 

President Jim McFadden: Yes they were.

 

Les Biechy Glen 9 Lot 231: I do a lot of work in here.  Do I have to let the gate know?

 

President Jim McFadden: You will have to call the gate and let them know that you will be on that property doing some work.

 

Vice President Julie Kimmel: This is just to let the guards be aware that you are supposed to be on the property you are working on.

 

President Jim McFadden: The property owner should also contact the gate and the office to let them know that you are allowed to work on their property.

Twenty-five signatures are required and they must be members in good standing that sign the petition.  Remember all petitions must be brought back to the office two (2) weeks prior to the General Membership Labor Day meeting, this way the office staff can verify the signatures.

ATTENDANCE: 12

 

TREASURERS REPORT: Treasurer Aggie Pennington-Two areas of the Treasurer’s Report that I would like to speak about, one is dues payers, which I think is extremely important to all of us.  We budgeted this year for 840 property owners

to pay dues. That was based on what was happening last year. At this point in time only 768 property owners have paid dues. There are an additional 17 property owners that have made some type of payment.  Their last payment was in April so they are really lagging behind. Based on that information, if those people, plus the others, pay, we will be 55 property owners short of our budgeted funds. We are running behind this year.  It started out pretty strong but then it really started to fall off.  As we are going forward we will be looking at our expenses and looking at where we can cut expenses to make sure that we stay in the black. I just wanted to make everyone aware of that. 

 

As of May 31st, there is $100.50 in our Capital Improvement Savings

$71,039.38 in our Sweep Account

$14,505.08 in our Payroll Account

$30,000.00 in our Regular Checking Operation Account

$256,072.26 in our Money Market Account

 

The total of all accounts is $1,084,550.63

There is one thing I want to mention at this time because we are all going to be a part of this.  We all know that we are having a problem with the mound and there is going to be a solution. This is going to be a huge cost to the Community. Although it shows we have a million dollars in our accounts, we also have a lot of expenses to go with it. You are going to have to see a real tightening of our belt as well as a plan that we will be putting in place. Our goal is to formally announce by the September General Meeting what the Budget and plan will be over the next couple of years to resolve the issue, and pay for the financial burden that this is going to have on the park while trying to stay in the black. We are going to do whatever is possible to make this happen.

 

TREASURER QUESTIONS:

 

Joann Anderson Glen 3 Lot 95: Are there reminders being sent out to the people that are in arrears?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: Absolutely.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Has the Board given any consideration as to how, financially, we will pay for the repairs of the mound?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: We do not know because we do not have the final numbers. We are having a workshop meeting with all the facts so that we really can put a dollar figure to it. What we know is the top end worst-case scenario. You know Dennis, there is a lot to it. We also have to look what Capital needs may happen over the next couple of years and get all this in place and then we will be able to answer it.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: At the last meeting you stated that we were keeping an eye on a certain line item. What line item was that?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: Vehicle Maintenance was one. Vehicle Maintenance is not a concern because there was a check that came back to us from the accident that occurred for $7,000.00, which was not applied to the same line item so it looked like we were trending very high in vehicle maintenance.  That $7,000.00 will be a wash.

The other item is gasoline and diesel fuel.  I am keeping an eye on that because it is trending high verse the budget.  Then, of course, because of the dues being low, that is an overall concern of where we will end up if we do not start tightening our belt.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: How are we doing with our new electric supplier verse PP&L?

 

                                                         (2)

(Back to list)

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: Well there was a contract that we signed with the new electric supplier with what our maximum payments were going to be, and from my last look at it, it was falling in line with what they committed to in their contract.  Courtney and I are going to meet next month, along with the Board, to start really looking at this. So far I have not seen any problem with them or the new trash company that we have picked up as far as the financial part of it. 

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Do you think there are a percentage of people coming into the park that have not paid their dues in full?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: I think that Courtney is doing a great job of making sure the people who have not paid are not coming into the park, at least without her knowing it.  If they are coming into the park, she is making sure that they understand that as of June 30th, which anyone that is making an approved payment plan must be paid by June 30th. There will be a real crack down after that as to not coming into the park until their dues are paid.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: What about the cut off of their utilities?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: That would be something that we would discuss after June 30th.  We can say these are the people affected, and then we have to put our plan in place to do that as well.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: We also have to charge them a reconnection fee?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: Absolutely.

 

Vice President Julie Kimmel: The May minutes will be tabled until next month.

 

LEGAL REPORT: Attorney Rich Henry-The depositions on the Bacus matter are scheduled for July 8, 2010. Joe Sampson, former property manager, will be deposed and our President will also be deposed. We have a trial set for August or September of this year.

 

LEGAL QUESTIONS:

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: Asked is this the fence case?

 

Attorney Rich Henry: Yes

 PARK COORDINATOR: Courtney Raymond-Just to touch base on what Aggie was saying, I have put locks on our gas and diesel.  I know exactly the starting points of how many gallons are in each tank. We are also logging in and out as to what the mileage is and how many gallons each vehicle is using.  I am monitoring the gas and diesel usage daily.  I also want to thank all of you for not coming in and asking when the trash will be picked up after the holiday weekend.  The trash company, unfortunately, had a rough time with all the pick-ups they had due to the holiday weekend, but our maintenance personnel did a great job keeping the trash area under control over the holiday weekend.  We are cracking down on property owners who have not yet paid their dues.  If dues are not paid in full by June 30th, the property owner will not be allowed access to Breezewood Acres’ amenities.  I am also asking everyone to please, if you see one container at the trash area that is full, place your trash in the next available bin.  I will also post a sign at the trash area as a reminder. 

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: How are we going after people financially who have not paid their dues? I know Rich handles some of the delinquent dues payers. I also know we do have a collection agency BCA that also handles some of our accounts.

 

Park Coordinator: Courtney Raymond-I, myself, have been in contact with BCA more than we have been in the past. I have also been contacting the property owners directly.  I believe we have been making decent progress at this time.

FINANCE, AUDIT & BUDGET: Treasurer Aggie Pennington-I think I covered that under the Treasurers report.  We will be working on that.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: That will be sometime in June?

 

Treasurer Aggie Pennington: We will meet preliminary, myself and Courtney, so that we can get everything together, then we will set up a meeting with the Budget Committee.

 

Secretary Barbara Ersch: Asked Dennis Cooney if he is going to be on the Budget Committee?

Director Bob McErlean: That particular corner that Mr. Cooney is talking about, is that the 4-way stop sign where we had two young girls taken out of Breezewood by helicopter?  Do you remember that accident Dennis?

Directors Winnifred L. Holmes: You have to understand that the property owners who hire these people can only come up on weekends, and they prefer to be here when the work is getting done.

 

Dennis Cooney Glen 10 Lot 450: They should take a day off from work to have this done.

 

The Board will check the Resolutions.

Joann Anderson Glen 3 Lot 95: I have seen a lot of young children driving golf carts that look too young to be driving them.  They also have no tags.  My suggestion is to please give them a copy of the laws and highlight the item that states they must be twelve years old to obtain a Photo ID.

 

Vice President Julie Kimmel: Security is cracking down on them.

 

Director Bob McErlean: Security has also placed flyers in all the bathhouses to remind everyone that you must have a Photo ID and must be twelve years of age to ride any unlicensed vehicle here at Breezewood. 

 

This ended Open Form.
