Approval of Minutes –
The minutes from the Board
Meetings of November 7, 2016 and December 14, 2016 were approved
unanimously.
Finance/Treasurer Report
– The Board
reviewed the final Financial Statement from Fiscal Year
ending June 30, 2016 and reviewed financial activity to date July 1, 2016 -
January 9, 2017. The list of overdue assessments was reviewed and discussed.
There are 15 lots with overdue assessments and about six of these have overdue
assessments greater than one year. Notices with late charges were mailed in
October. Filing liens was discussed; it was decided to send another reminder
with late charges, along with a deadline to pay before a lien is filed. The
Board discussed whether to implement increased late charges and will revisit
this later in the spring.
Easement Request for
Murphy Property –
No update.
New Business
–
Karin and Sharyn
reported on their investigations into Management Companies for running the
Association, thereby potentially making it more feasible for homeowners to
volunteer for Board positions. They met with Luna Properties and Minnick
Management. Either seems to be a reasonable option. Fees for both were
presented as less than approximately $1000/month, based on preliminary
discussions, and for each fees/costs are negotiable depending on the activities
the Board wants them to undertake. Sharyn also suggested that our current
bookkeeper, Kim, may be another option for handling more of the management
tasks and will proceed to talk with her and get a cost estimate if she is
interested. The Board plans to present working with a management
company/manager to the membership at the Annual Membership meeting in May to
obtain feedback. However, it is ultimately a decision for the Board, which also
has the power to make an additional assessment to cover additional costs per
our Bylaws, if necessary.
Sharyn raised a concern
about parking on Augusta near the mailboxes and concern about emergency access
and mail delivery when blocked, particularly during events at the golf course.
Karin volunteered to raise the issue with the City of Bozeman Engineering
Department to request “no parking” signs, as well as revisit (yet again) the
need for a cross-walk and sign on Story Mill Road at the south intersection
with Boylan Road. Previously the City has said no because it is marked on the
north intersection with Boylan.
The meeting was
adjourned at 7:35 pm.
