There is no budget update due to the recent report on 4/21/09 by former-treasurer Rocco.

Murali Sitaraman will fill the seat vacated by Bill Swedberg, serving a three-year appointment commencing with second vice-president.  Jay Jones will fill the seat vacated by Rocco Cioffoletti, serving a two-year appointment commencing with first vice-president.

The same procedures for approving and submitting minutes from the past two years will continue to be followed. Secretary Warren will prepare the minutes and pass them via e-mail to the Board members for approval.  Once approved, Warren will submit them to Mickey for placement on the Country Walk website.

The privacy fence along Highway 123 has been extended.  The fallen tree that damaged a segment of the fence has been cut, but the fence has not yet been mended.  This fixing was part of the original bid.  An update on payments will be provided by treasurer Scott at the next meeting.

Problems with the pool motor have caused a delay in the pool opening.  Further information will be sought as to the status of the motor and the opening date.

Concerns about the front entrance where kudzu had previously been removed, reducing trees to stumps, were discussed.  The Board will wait to speak with Jay at the next meeting.

Pet waste was addressed.  Murali will research effectiveness and costs.  The proposal is for three “reminder” signs.

Discussions continued from previous Board meetings as to the denial of access to the subdivision amenities to those residents who are not current in their annual fees.  A vote is planned for the next Board meeting.

Former President Bill had four No Trespassing signs previously constructed for the pool area and tennis courts. Warren will contact Bill to learn of their whereabouts.

Mickey presented key agenda items that will be discussed at future meetings.  These include the following.

• A policy that all decisions should be made by the Board as a unit, as opposed to Board members taking individual responsibility.
• Establishment of a bidding process by which all contracted work will be performed.
• Establish closer ties between the Board and the Committee Chairs, including quarterly reports to be disseminated via the minutes to subdivision residents.
• Initiate Clubhouse reports that itemize dates at which the Clubhouse has been rented in the previous month, as well as upcoming rentals.
• Removal of all private properties from common areas.  This item is primarily motivated by liability issues, but also due to both complaints voiced to the Board by residents and the original intent of the common areas.
• Labelling of common areas that serve as access points to the walking trail.
• Subdivision maintenance including the Clubhouse back porch and tennis courts.
• Conducting a tree survey to determine dead and/or diseased trees that should be removed.

Committee reports.

The next Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 9, at 7 pm in the Clubhouse.

The meeting concluded at 8:04 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Warren P. Adams

Secretary, Country Walk Board
