Minutes of the previous
meeting were read.
Margaret Paden – President’s
report:
1. Thanked volunteers and
those who contributed to Gravel donation – to purchase a gift for Noah’s boss
for donating his trucks, gas, and allowing us to purchase gravel at a discount.
2. Brian Coulter – a new
member (and a plumber), has informed Margaret that he can get 6 shower stalls
and 6 sinks for the lower comfort station for approximately $1,000.00. The floor would need to be fixed.
3. The pool table has
brought in approximately $900. so it is well on it’s way to paying for itself.
4. We are looking at getting
the boom lift again in August to cut down trees. Last time we spent $1,200 and brought in
$3,100 (which includes selling the wood).
5. We are still looking for
volunteers to work the kitchen every other weekend.
6. Vandalism – the sales
bldg. experienced some vandalism due to intruders. We believe we have determined how they are
getting in and resolved it. The old log
splitter was sitting by the maintenance bldg. (to be picked up for
repairs). When they came in to pick it
up, it was not there. Margaret asked
anyone who knew anything about it to please contact us. Gas has again disappeared, electric plugs are
being pulled, and water has been added to some members’ golf cart gas tanks.
7. Because unattended
children are being found in the clubhouse as late as
Diane gave the treasurer’s
report: As of now, savings = 160,538.47, checking = 39,844.69.
We had to spend $400. on new
weed whackers because ours came up missing. The pool is costing more to operate because
people are wearing street clothes to swim.
Dues have brought in $189,603.27.
Old Business:
Fred Mehlman reported on
behalf of the budget committee: In 2003
– 04, expenses were $12,900. In 2004 –
05, expenses were $15,500, and in 2005 – 06, expenses were $17,605. These were “necessary expenses”. We had $193,000 available with an expense
projection of $211,000…that’s an $18,000 deficit with no other expenses…so
major expenses like the sales bldg is out.
We may have to raise dues and charge additional monies for running air
conditioners and refrigerators. A $50
increase would result in a $16,800 income.
Another option would be to close down the park four months during the
winter…a big decision needs to be made.
Members began giving their thoughts and the membership felt that a
separate meeting to discuss options should be setup.
Margaret stated that the
Hamlet needs to be painted to preserve it.
It needs to be power washed, dry, caulked, and windows taped. Anyone willing to help should see Carl Olexo
at lot 352.

Status of Joe Kuprevich: Legal
steps were in process to have Joe evicted from the park permanently. When servicing Joe with a 30 day suspension
from the park, he stated that he wanted to sell his two memberships. The Wolf’s and Lallathin’s purchased the memberships to help the
park avoid further legal fees for the eviction.
Brenda used a white board to
explain LL account numbers. Members need
to post their RV id numbers on their campers…this number identifies the member
without posting their name, address and phone numbers. This is necessary if there is damage (i.e.
trees/branches falling, fires, or vandalism) because some insurance companies only
allow so much time to report a claim.
Brenda will post the account number explanation on the bulletin board.
Brenda also explained how a
reverse raffle works. Numbers are
currently being sold and the raffle will take place on
Margaret thanked Rick, Randy
and Jackie for organizing the last Christmas parties; explained that they would
like to take a year off and asked for volunteers to step up to the plate.
