PPHOA Board Meeting Minutes--JANUARY

PPHOA meeting AGENDA
14 January 2014

In attendance: Kim McClellen, Chuck Shaelling, DeeAnn Jennings, Norm Tong, and Megan Sanborn Jones

Treasurer’s Report
1.     $51,702 in operating fund.  Last year $42181
2.     $32,613 in reserve fund.  Last year $28,112.
3.     We have nice increases from last year.
4.     We still have dues to deposit and have sent reminder notes about late fees.  We are now all up to date with fees!!!
5.     Bill Pay is always an option for those who have trouble remembering to pay every month.  Set this up with your bank if you are interested!
6.     We won’t have any big expenses until the summer when we will be painting fences, doors, and shutters. 

Paint Project Update
With the paint project, we probably should get more bids.  Marcello Loor is interested in the contract. Norm Tong has someone he just worked with who is very very reasonable and did really great work.  In the past there has been problems with concerns with favoritism.  According to the by-laws, we can continue to hire folks that we have hired before, but for new projects, we should get more bids. 
1.     By April, we should get 3 bids.
2.     Megan will send an email that describes the project.
3.     Marcello needs to create a bid in writing—Kim will get this.
4.     Norm will get two more bids from David (who he worked with before) and someone else off of Angie’s List.

Board Member Updates
1.     Great News! Kim McClellan is getting married and moving to N Orem with his new bride.  February 2014 will be his last meeting as president.  We will need to replace him.
2.     Chuck Schaelling sold all three of his units to Matt McKell.  Chuck is willing to serve as the treasurer until June, but then we will need to replace him as well. 
a.     According to the by-laws, Chuck cannot serve on the board as he is no longer an owner, but we can hire him as a non-voting consultant to continue to run the books.
b.     Megan will draft a proposed contract to hire Chuck (for $1/month) until June. 
3.     Larry Everett works evenings and can no longer attend board meetings. 
4.     We can have as few as 3 and up to 9 members on the homeowner board. 

Lawn Contract
1.     We found the lawn contract for 2014 and would like to propose some changes to the wording before we sign it.
2.     We need to review the bills for the fall to get a sense of how many “additional services” charges there were.  Chuck will look at the bills and tell us the totals. 
3.     Things to consider:  more oversight so that we have some control over the “additional services.”  How much is a reasonable per/hour fee for “additional services”?
4.     We all agree the lawn and yards look amazing.  Dave Ottesen and Jeff Oldroyd to wonderful work.
5.     Next meeting, we will redraft a counter contract for Board review. 

Insurance
1.     Our new agent is William Babcock at State Farm on Orem Blvd.  He seems great.
2.     We are currently insured at $1 million per accident occurance on the grounds and $2 million for general claims. 
3.     Due to our low incidence rate (we have never had a claim), we have been offered a “Legacy Premium”:  for about $150 more a year, we can upgrade to $4 million per accident occurrence and $2 million for general claims.
4.     DeeAnn moves that we accept the offer.  Megan seconds.  Motion passes. 
5.     Norm will let Mr. Babcock know that we want to upgrade our insurance with the Legacy Premium and will get a copy of the new policy. 
6.     Tayna Toles is currently in charge of secondary insurance.  DeeAnn will contact her to find out if she would like to continue in this role.  We need to work on compliance in this area. 

Parking
1.     There are still lots of unregistered cars out back.
2.     We have been unable to locate the owner of the green trailer.
3.     Should we begin towing cars that are not in compliance? 
a.     There are positives and negatives to this. 
b.     We shouldn’t tow without proper notification to all residents/owners as well as warnings about when it will happen.
c.     We will continue this discussion. 
4.     Megan will include a note on this issue in the Winter newsletter.

Other
1.     Did the gutters all get cleaned by S&L Maintenance?  That is unclear.  Kim will talk with Jeff to confirm they were all cleaned. 
2.     We need to find the bill for these services as well.  Chuck will follow up on this.
3.     Kim will talk with Ryan about the possibility of using another fertilizer service.  We would need a bid in writing to compare with Stewards if we were going to make a change. 
4.     Megan can purchase stamps, envelopes, etc. and give the bill to Chuck.
