MINUTES OF THE CROSSINGS’ BOARD MEETING
APRIL 6, 2003
The meeting was held at Pat Mullen’s and was called to order by Ray Speicher at 7:05 p.m. Board members present included Sue Fey, Cathy Lesjack, Pat Mullen, Dan O’Connor and Ray Speicher. Homeowners Rick Mason and Jackie Mullen were also present.
Pat M. distributed the Treasurer’s Report and announced that two homeowner’s have unpaid dues for 2002. It was agreed that a certified letter, stating when lien proceedings will begin, would be sent to the homeowners in accordance with the By-laws. Pat also reported that the second quarter bills are being mailed this week.
Cathy reported that Keith Baker and Chris Patterson had contacted her about an expanding hole in the common ground behind their properties. Sue mentioned there are trees down and debris in the detention pond. Ray will check these items out. Ray also reported that there are dead trees behind Moore’s and the backstop that need to be replaced.
Ray volunteered to investigate entrance signs and the feasibility of having them installed at all entrances. He also reported that he was contacted by the new owner at 201 Hunting Ridge about installing a fence along Rochester Road. He explained that they needed to determine the owner of the property before it became a board issue.
The board discussed recognizing and funding the Social Committee as an official committee of the Association. Jackie Mullen volunteered to chair the committee and contact the three other individuals who had indicated interest on serving on the committee in the survey. Due to the increasing number of new homeowners, Dan suggested establishing a “welcoming committee” to greet and present them with useful information including the covenants and phone directory. He offered to coordinate this effort with Jackie and the Social Committee. Jackie announced that the Easter Egg Hunt would be held on Saturday, April 19 in the Phase I park. The Memorial Day picnic will be held on Sunday, May 25 and the garage sale will be on Saturday, May 31.
Ray reported that there were only three nominees for the three openings for this year’s election. Therefore, it will not be necessary to mail ballots. He will coordinate mailing the Annual Meeting notice along with Jack’s letter to the homeowners, meeting agenda and financial update.
Ray explained the board’s duties to the nominees present. He will also talk to Jack about posting the board member’s names, positions and phone numbers on the website
As a safety issue, Dan requested that the board remind homeowners of the speed limit in the plan, and Rick asked the board to remind them about keeping their lamp posts operating properly. Dan will draft a notice to be included with the Annual Meeting Notice.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m. The next meeting will be the Annual Meeting to be held on Monday, April 28, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. in the Phase I pavilion.
