Our Village

Pledge of Allegiance

Owners Speaking
Lot 145 owner who had demonstrated what changes he could make to the Village website said he was not looking for a job. He said he would help when he could.
Lot 702 expressed concerns about President Montalvo being absent during non-official Coffee Meetings and wanted him to address the attitude of his children. This lot owner wamted him to deal with his kids, suggested he resign, and then asked for a response. President Montalvo dealt with this lot owner like a Governor Christie. He quickly responded saying Directors have no attendance obligations to these Coffee meetings. When I ran for the Board I made it clear to everyone I was not in favor of these meetings and would probably not attend many of them. As far as my children, I have not received any complaints prior to yours and wish to ask you (lot owner) if this incident involving my children involved you? The lot owner said no. President Montalvo said I have not received filed complaint about my children from Security. This Board has stressed to owners if anyone gets out of line that they need to call security. When President Montalvo continued the meeting, this lot owner objected. Montalvo said I allowed you to have your say and addressed both, next item.

President’s Remarks section had President Montalvo saying he heard good things said about our Village and thanked everyone for their patience this summer.

Manager’s Report was postponed due to the manager having to meet with the family of an owner who just passed away.

Minutes were approved.

Mayprofit and loss report showed the Village Grill and Golf course had doubled their losses from a year ago. The Rental Dept. lost 25% more. $8,500 has to be added to the cost of the Rec. Hall roof repair because of a bad beam. This roof repair will now cost $68,500.

Committee Report
DE has a fishing tournament on Aug. 20th and the Adult Pool Olympics on Aug. 27th.
Golf had no report.
Pool will have some chairs replaced this winter.
Safety section addressed our Village dust problem which is apparently five times worse than normal due to the construction of the new nature reserve.

It was noted that the bridge employees did a fine job on a recent major repair.

Unfinished Business
Web Site will have continued discussions.
Pool Equipment was addressed by Director Chapa. He said when Berry Pools remove their chlorinators; the replacement chlorinators will cost approximately $650. He can also save the Park about $50 a month on pool chemicals. Dir. Chapa talked on converting to salt generators. Using this machine would convert salt that's in the water to chlorine. This basicly would eliminate the costs of chemicals. Cost for each generator (5) will range around $1700. It was noted that without having to now pay Berry Pools $1300 for their useless services and buy their overpriced chemicals, the investment in these salt generators could be recouped in less than six months and it would feel like swimming in soft silky water.
Motion passed to give Berry Pools their 30 day notice and approve Dir. Chapa to acquire the replacement chlorinators. A second motion passed to install one salt generator.
Exercise Room Expansion section saw a motion pass to move all treadmills into the clogging room across the hall.
