New business

  • Board members sign on for three-year terms, and most of the current board members have served much longer. Three board members will be rotating off the board this year. Volunteers are needed to fill the three positions.
  • Michelle Mihajlovski-Mahler brought up concern regarding the front grasses. The board discussed alternate options. The plan is to pull the largest grasses at the front of the island, as well as some of the damaged rose bushes and boxwoods, and replace them with sun-loving hostas and day lilies. Michelle said that she and her spouse could spray the island and pull up the larger grasses at the front of the island, and she has plants that she will be dividing and can donate to the island.
  • The board scheduled a clean-up day for Monday, June 24, to work on trimming some of the dead tree limbs around the parks.

 

Old Business

  • Plans for summer events:
    • Bounce houses and water slide are booked for the annual picnic. Dan the Kona Man is booked for the Slow Roll and annual picnic.
    • Dan the Kona Man has been booked for both the Slow Roll and annual picnic.
    • Emily will book the port-o-potty again.
    • Katy is going to buy a balloon arch and check status of tickets for slow roll
    • Karen and Stacey will get drinks, chips, cookie
    • Katy will place Jimmy Johns order
  • The board further discussed options for replacing and updating the playscapes in the north and south parks. The existing playscapes are from Recreation Creation and are approximately 30 years old.
    • The quote came in at just over $30 for one park, including removal of the existing structure and installation of the new structure.
    • The association currently has approximately $23,000 in savings, with $5,000 of that reserved for the South Park path. We are close to having enough to replace the structure in the North Park, which the company recommends replacing first for safety and structural reasons. It would take approximately 10 years to save up for the second structure.
    • The board discussed whether to consider a special assessment to get the remaining funds for one play scape and/or enough funds to cover both playscapes at once.
    • The board voted to table the conversation about the assessment for further discussion during the annual meeting.

 

 

The meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

 

The next meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. on July 17, 2024, in the Pavilion.
