Our Village

There was a shortened September 28th board meeting due to the absences of Treasurer Steffensen (illness) and VP McBride/Director Chapa (vacations). Agendas such as the Treasurer’s report, Pool Committee report, Infrastructure Work report, Web Listings report, and Newsletter Distribution report had to be shelved.
Lot 155 suggested putting windows only in the lower area when our Village replaces the large Activity Center windows located by the ping pong table and fill in the upper portion with a solid material. He felt it would look just as nice while conserving energy costs. The Board liked his idea.
GM Horner reported last month they had 97 work orders, six building permits, and condo fee arrears totaled $30,136. They were currently monitoring and adjusting the sprinkler system so maximum water pressure is being used when watering. In response to last week’s Coffee question Rick confirmed that maintenance internally inspects the fire hydrants during fire prevention week. He sadly announced that Armando had a spell at the employee’s picnic outing that resulted in a possible need to correct a left artery clog. As of October 12th Armando is not working and tests are still being done.
The August Minutes were approved.
President Montalvo said the Board will focus on the Village Grill/Pro Shop revenues and expenses moving forward. Our GM did say last year he came under fire when he temporarily closed the Pro Shop. He said it doesn’t make sense though to pay to be open when Pro Shop revenues are just $35 a day.
D and E is to have a Halloween cocktail party on October 31st and Trash and Treasures on November 4th..
Golf Committee Director Sandberg brought up an annual green fee credit request asked for by Dennis Zylman. Board members had no problem with his request but stated it’s not actually an issue that the Board needs to address. Director Sandberg said she understands that but Dennis thought this should be brought to the Board attention since he is also on the Golf Committee. Director Sandberg also told the Board that many who golf thought that any owner over ninety years of age should have an honorary golf membership. This was later voted on and passed under new business.
GM Horner said Berry Pool’s response to LIV’s termination request is that they have a contract with LIV until next April. President Montalvo said should be a lesson learned that there should be an LIV out clause on every contractual agreement. The GM again expressed that the Berry Pools contract he had on file had a 30 day termination notice. He had no knowledge that a different contract was approved by a previous Board that substituted this 30 day out clause with a 30 day notice at the end of the annual contract. We learned that Berry Pools indicated an LIV resident told them LIV wanted this termination for no other reason than to change the purification systems and that is why Berry Pools feels the current contract should be honored. It was said that whoever this owner is appears to be intentionally undermining this Board. President Montalvo said the action by this owner was not the problem,the real fault here is that this contract should have never been approved or signed in the first place.
Executive Session
After the Meeting came to order the owner from lot 145 expressed having a problem with the current watering of the common areas and wanted to organize teams of owners to edge Village streets.
Motion was approved to accept the current non-disclosed terms set forth in the M. O. Berry lawsuit. The Board took note to an owner saying that a non-disclosure of terms cannot legitmently be expressed in the minutes.
Motion was approved to start accepting dredging bids.
