Re: Results of August 16 Special Meeting

 

          A special meeting of the MKL Association was held on Thursday August 16. The purpose of the meeting was to vote on Three (3) proposals:

 

                             1. Increase the annual assessment by $400

 

                             2. Release up to $30,000 from the dredging reserve to road repair

 

                             3. Approve borrowing up to $200,000 from a commercial bank

 

          The meeting opened at 7:30 and was very well attended. John Murray began with a detailed presentation of the work to be done on the roads. John's presentation was followed by a two hour question and answer period after which the three proposals were put to vote.  Each of the three proposals was voted and approved in accordance to Association By Laws.

 

          We anticipate work to begin on the roads in early October with over half of the projected completed this year, and the remaining work to be completed next Spring. As we get closer to beginning work, we will send out information on where work will be done and any road closures required.

 

          The assessment increase will be reflected in the October semi annual assessment, therefore showing a $200 increase in this assessment.

 

          In conjunction with the Association road work, some residents want to hire our contractor to work on homeowner areas such as: paving areas between individual driveways and the community road, paving parking areas in front of their residence or repairing damage to the ends of existing driveways. The contractor has been contacted and is will to do such work. The following conditions will apply:

 

          1. All work will be individually contracted between the contractor and the homeowner.

 

          2. The Association will gather homeowners' requests for estimates and will provide them to the contractor.  From that point forward, all communication will be between the homeowner and the contractor.

 

          3. Homeowners who want work performed must complete the attached form and return it to Gail Chalfant no later than September 12, 2007. Gail will confirm receipt and will provide the forms to the contractor. There is no guarantee that all homeowner work will be completed this year.

 

          4. On the basis of the information furnished, the contractor will examine the work to be done and will provide a written estimate to the homeowner. The homeowner will then be required to respond to the contractor by the date specified on the estimate.

 

          5. The Association takes no responsibility for the work individually contracted and will not accept billing for such work. The contractor will individually invoice homeowners.

 

          If you have any questions on the above, or any question concerning the roads project please contact Gail Chalfant on 973-425-9319.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mt. Kemble Lake Association Board
