  1. Call meeting to order—Chris Brazeal

The meeting was called to order at 5:01 pm by Chris Brazeal, President

 

New Business:

  1. Current financial report

Kathryn Bruner, Treasurer, gave the status report: At the time of this meeting, 33% of the lot owners are delinquent. She will contact those 33% over the next few weeks. A short report on our financial status will be posted on the Sailboat Lake website.

  1. Pumps, Wells, and cost

Chris Brazeal

Chris talked about how we are still waiting for a bid on the pump maintenance and, hopefully, a guesstimate on further work that may need to be done to the pumps once he gets an estimate, we would like to post that also on the website. This could be a costly estimate.

  1. Dues for next fiscal year.

It was unanimously voted to increase the annual dues by $100 to $500 annually. This is due primarily to inflation and the work that needs to be done on the pumps and wells. At some point, much money will need to be spent on maintaining or replacing the pumps/ wells. Rick Garn voted by proxy

  1. Purchasing of pontoon boat.

At the annual meeting, when we took a vote, there were no strong objections, and a clear majority of people agreed that purchasing the boat was the best option.

We unanimously voted to purchase the late Dave Smith’s pontoon boat for $2500.

To offset this cost fish will not be stocked this this season. Rick Garn voted by proxy

  1. Mowing for next year (2025)

Kennedy is the current contractor, and we are happy with him, but for comparison purposes, we will pursue another bid.

Chris discussed breaking down the lawn care billing into categories and posting it on the Sailboat Lake website. We will also add weed control that is safe for use next to a lake.

 

  1. Trimming of. Overgrown common areas.

Several common areas have overgrown trees and saplings. If the weather permits in November, we would like to gather volunteers to help trim and clean up these areas. We are also hoping to provide refreshments afterward.

  1. Displaying of. Financial reports on the web page.

Jerry talked about displaying financial reports on the website according to the way they currently stand. If someone wants to see the financial report, they’ll need to e-mail us, and they will automatically get a return with a password to view the financial reports. This is to hopefully limit just the people of the lake’s access to that information

 

  1. Block 27 board members Google account training.

Jerry spoke about how he had sent out invitations to Google Drive last week, but no one has received them he is going to research that and reinvite people board members to Google Drive

 

 

The meeting was adjourned by Chris at 7:05 pm.
