PPHOA Board Meeting Minutes--MAY 2014

PPHOA Board Meeting
14 May 2014

Attending:  DeeAnn, Glen, Megan, Norm

Announcement: Yard Sale this Saturday 8:00 am – 1:00 pm

Treasurer’s Report
1.     Audit is fine.
2.     We have about $61,000 in checking and capital reserve is fine.
3.     In the past, DeeAnn has been assistant treasurer and has done the deposits.  DeeAnn will keep collecting and depositing for the next month.  Then the new treasurer will take back all the responsibilities.
4.     We need to update the bank statement address from Chuck’s home to the PO Box.
5.     Kim has already gotten off of the account.  So now it is just DeeAnn and Chuck, who can’t legally sign anything. 
a.     Chuck needs to get off. 
b.     Glen needs to get on.
6.     There are invoices for lawn services that happen annually that are ongoing.
a.     Jeff authorizes some additional work.
b.     Spraying trees for cherries and good health.
c.     Stewarts still delivers their invoices to the Joneses.
7.     We got the first bill for lawn services it seems excessive.
a.     In terms of an audit, we want to look closely at how we are supervising work. 
b.     What we need and don’t have is a board member over gardening. 
                                               i.     Punch a time card?  How about having a form that he can fill out to outline. 
                                             ii.     Accountability seems key. 
c.     Glen will call Dave to talk about the contract. 
d.     DeeAnn thinks its good to start in April.  Glen thinks that is too soon. 
e.     Glen liked Art better than the current regime.  He has a biased against doing work with neighbors.  It adds complication and we are doing an end run around the rules by hiring him. 
8.     We need to make sure the entire board is reviewing contracts in the future.
9.     Norm, DeeAnn, and Megan agree that Kim’s signature is valid and we have resolved our concerns. 
10.  In January, we need to start getting bids for the coming year.  We need to look at others bids, too.
a.     Things to consider inches of snow
b.     Hourly wage
c.     Oversight

Action Items Completed
1.     Gift cards sent and received.  Kim and Chuck say thank you.
2.     Yard sale notices on doors.

Ongoing Business
1.     Painting
a.     We still need to select between the 5 current bids.
b.     This needs to include a serious conversation with Marcello about the Kim’s agreement. 
c.     Ryan, please contact Marcello about a rebid for 2 colors around door (white door frame), and line itemized. 
d.     We could run this through Dave?  We will review contracts next month. 
e.     Megan will copy bids and make a spreadsheet comparison.   
2.     Parking
a.     There are two problems—the filling up of the RV spots out back with things
b.     There are permanent cars being parked out front.
c.     There is not enough room in some garages for all the cars that some owners have.
d.     We need to come up with a plan of action and also talk with homeowners. 
                                               i.     This will include maybe new rules.
                                             ii.     It will definitely include a plan of action (towing) to enforce the existing rules.

3.     Roof repair (has this happened?)
a.     We got a bid from McDonald
b.     Put a fence in without a gate.  Need a new bid.
c.     Priorities
                                               i.     Roof stuff—start here
                                             ii.     Fence—and here
                                            iii.     Garage siding on the back—save this for later this summer or next year. 
d.     Norm will get a bid for just siding and just fence (without gate). 

New Business
1.     Letter of notification for meeting—will go out within 30 days.  Megan will do this. 
a.     Possible amendments
                                               i.     Board of Directors number—yes. 
                                             ii.     Proxy voting—discuss this. 
b.     Do we need to amend the “board of director’s policies”?
                                               i.     These policies were created in 1998 by a former secretary.  They are good practices but certainly not binding. 
                                             ii.     Bidding at $500 move to $1000?  Getting bids is a good idea, when necessary.  We may decide as a board that we don’t need bids.  We can make this decision on a case-by-case basis. 
2.     Nominations for new board members
a.     Determine how many new spots are needed.  This may require us to evaluate how many positions are necessary:
                                               i.     President
                                             ii.     Vice-President
                                            iii.     Treasurer
                                            iv.     Secretary
                                             v.     Common-Area Supervisor (to work with grounds, etc.)
                                            vi.     Insurance Coordinator (make this a board responsibility)
                                          vii.     Member-at-Large (parking and other concerns)
b.     Select a nominating committee chair—Megan and Glen will chair with board as committee
