Manager: Presently 136 dock leases, 2 slips A dock and 2 finger slips available.
Old Business: Update on Legal Matters: Beth Walker suit over pest control still pending. CCG cable consulting contract going to arbitration. (Sam Slota signed contract without BOD or owners’ knowledge. BOD prompted by Saundra Zubko approved a $60,000 payoff. Zubko later upped to $62,500.) It was pointed out (again) that the prior BOD’s last minute approval to settle with cable consultant CCG appeared to legitimize the illegal Slota signed contract. Prior BOD’s approval made any legal challenge to CCG contract and subsequent 10 year Comcast contract difficult if not impossible.
Attempted retrieval of personal information on 9 owners copied by Zubko underway.
New Business: Ice Machine: The “emergency expenditure” for ice machines approved by 5 prior Board members without Board discussion or vote was not ratified. A $10,000 order for 2 undelivered machines was cancelled. Machines made crushed ice, not cubes and were not designed for outdoor installation. One machine was installed in Rec 1 (just in time for a Super Bowl party). Vendor refuses to take back the one machine installed, and the five approving prior BOD members will be billed for its $5,000 cost.
Rec 2 Plumbing Repairs: Contractor selected unanimously.
Tree Trimming: Corrective pruning required for 192 canopy trees at a cost of $15,000 to $27,000. Pruning and costs will be divided over 2 years. Approved unanimously. 12 trees need replacement, $3,500 including additional stump grinding. Approved unanimously.
