Crossings HOA Meeting Minutes – Apr 21, 2002
APRIL 21, 2002
Ray Speicher and Cathy Lesjack requested this special meeting on April 16, 2002, to discuss adding a clause to the Park Rules, and to discuss concerns about on-line voting. The meeting was held at Cathy’s and, in the absence of Jack Curran, was conducted by Ray. The meeting began at 7:00 p.m. Board members present were Pat Francis, Cathy Lesjack, Rhonda Monikowski, Pat Mullen, Dan O’Connor and Ray Speicher. Jack was out of town on business. Homeowner, John Lesjack was also present.
Dan reported that he has received 13 ballots so far. He has posted, on the website, a reminder to homeowners about the election. He explained that due to security concerns, homeowners attempting to vote on-line would be directed to vote using the original mailed ballot. The board agreed that on-line voting should be considered in the future. On-line voting has generated more interest in the website. Dan recommended that next year’s election committee increase it’s size to allow ease of access for homeowner’s to return nominations and ballots.
Pat M. reported that there is one homeowner with dues outstanding for 2001. This homeowner has been notified by phone and mail of his delinquency. The board agreed that Pat M. should send a registered letter of second notice to the homeowner before taking legal action for collection of dues. Pat will prepare the annual treasurer’s report to be distributed with the annual meeting minutes. John Lesjack recommended that a non-board member, on an annual basis, audit the books. The board agreed that the 2002 books should be audited by January 15, 2003.
Pat F. reported that Leisure Lawn would be planting three trees behind the backstop, and replacing the missing trees along the tree line in Phase I, as soon as the weather clears. Eckenrode will weed and feed the Phase I park this spring. Pat F. will clarify the type of material being used – granular or spray. Ray questioned whether or not Eckenrode should be mowing by Lacey’s along Rochester Road. Pat F. stated that he would contact Eckenrode to mow that area.
Ray motioned to amend Section 18 of the Park Rules by adding “No organized teams for the purposes of practices and/or games will be allowed.” Rhonda seconded. Discussion followed. Motion passed unanimously. Cathy will notify John Cegalis to post the change on the website, and will include the notice with the mailed summary of the Annual Meeting.
Ray asked the board to consider the direction the board wishes to take in the future, along with better adherence to dates, etc. Dan reported that the covenants and by-laws should be finished being typed this week. Pat F. suggested dividing them between the board members to be proofread before posting them on-line. The board agreed. Ray suggested the board think about reviewing the covenants for further discussion. He also reported that Nancy Speicher and Karen Albert are looking into updating the park equipment.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. The next meeting will be the Annual Meeting, which will be held on Monday, April 29, 2002, at 7:30 p.m. at the Phase I pavilion.
