Meeting was called to order by President, Austin Godfrey (aegodfrey@verizon.net), at 7:38.
WATER SYSTEM-ribarrett@aol.com After the heavy storms water was
on the floor of pump house 1. This is not uncommon and it dissipated by the
following weekend. The power outage caused pump house 2 to shut down. Thanks to
the vigilance of the VSA the shut down was discovered before it caused any
problems and a simple flip of the circuit breaker resolved the problem.
ROADS- - tlukacs@yahoo.com No
report
Grounds: diane_bonar@acordia.com – Several trees have fallen in this spring’s storms. Estimates for the removal of 3 trees are pending. A large branch fell off the tree close to the beach and cones will be put around the tree where other branches look menacing .
HOUSE KEEPING-joyce@jjmurray.us. A “trash only sign” was purchased and the pails are
all well marked. 8 new coral table
cloths were purchased . Joyce spend a week Power
washing and staining the decks and they look great. The Country club currently
pays the association $800 per year. The board is looking into why and if this
practice needs to continue.
CLUBHOUSE MAINTENANCE-Bincomm@verizon.net No
report .
BEACHES AND DOCKS- 1ruth.chaney@gmail.com Beach clean up was successful thanks
to all of our volunteers. One float by the beach was installed and the other off lake shore east
will go in during next month.
We are not sure what
is creating erosion of the beach. Prices for potential remedies were extremely
expensive so it was decided to continue to work on the gullies to funnel the
water. The fire lane must be repaired. Two estimates have come in and we are
waiting for a third.
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS - WaffCoe@aol.com There has been some questions about e-mailing
the community. Karen Sabol sends out materials to do
with the country club and parties while The Community Affairs Chairperson,
Barbara Coe sends out information pertaining to the Mt. Kemble
Lake Community. The community e-mail list is not to be used for business
purposes. If someone would like to post
an event about Harding they can send Terry Dwyer an e-mail to post it on the
new about-Harding section on the web page.
TREASURER - Barbara C. Coulter [mkltreasurer@gmail.com]
Barbara
presented the current balance information (which can be found on the web site).
The balances are in good shape but the
insurance policies have a large payment in June and then the balance is paid
monthly. The accountant has not completed the Association taxes for the year
and a 2nd extension will need to be taken. There will be a tax
planning meeting for the coming year scheduled. We need one more volunteer to
do the financial review of the 2010 tax year.
There is
a schedule for payments as well as late fees and penalties. These fees are
designed to encourage payment and are punitive, but not onerous.
Several
residents continue to owe dues. Rick suggested we discuss the best way to
proceed with the Association’s attorney. The board decided that the President
and Secretary have the authority to resolve issues surrounding outstanding
balances.
Meeting adjourned at 8:56
