9/26/2012 BOARD MEETING

The meeting started with Pat Burke telling owners that Mary Steffensen had a successful bypass surgery. Our prayers are with you Mary.
The Board let a John Toby speak. He and a Rey Puente are running for the water district. One thing interesting mentioned was that LIV was by far the biggest water district’s customer spending $413,000 annually while the distant second highest customer was spending only $197,000.
Lot 145 touched on the issues he previously expressed this year.
The GM talked on the recent burglaries, the beginning of the work to correct the pool’s water flow problem and list of condo fees in arrears.
The Minutes were approved but once again no mention of which month.
D-E Committee said there will be a Halloween Party for October.
Pool Committee mentioned the revenues from wristbands ($10,172) and ice sales ($3,390).
Finance Committee said LIV’s budget will definitely be done before the December’s meeting.
Bridge Board Report discussed the needs for purchasing a used generator that’s priced right.
Website Update talked on the complexities of the rental ads and the use of PayPal. Next month the Board will see an example of what the website can do.
The Board approved Director Montalvo’s resignation. It was also mention that his position will probably not be filled until the Annual Meeting.
Bath House Consolidation had a motion from Director Kelmis to close Bath houses one and three. Directors Gunderson, Kelmis, and Sandberg voted yes to close and Gagan, White, and Guerra voted no. President Chapa voted no as a tie breaker. Director White then made a motion with Guerra second that this consolidation will continue to be reviewed. This motion passed.
Use for yellow cards by realtors in the Activity Building display case was voted down.
Motion passed to receive bids for a card entry system to our amenities.
There was a rehash over the absentee director rules for using phones instead of attending meetings. I believe rule is that directors can use the phones to participate but won’t be able to vote or be counted as being present.
There was also a rehash of the quiet time in our park. Quiet times are from Labor Day to Memorial Day 11pm to 7am and from Memorial Day to Labor Day Midnight to 7am.
Director Kelmis said he will do more research on the liability exposure when a rental does not have the proper insurance required.
There was a suggestion by Director Sandberg to provide owners with a grill calendar showing chicken nights and any other special events along with regular open and close times.
Jose Torres with Securitas went through the new changes he’s doing in Security.

Kudos to the BOD members who are trying to save us $. The bath house issue is such a great idea as they are not used that much now that we are a Village and NOT an RV park. They are as cold as a meat locker and just suck up our $. One bath house in addition to the club house, pool, pro shop, maintainance building and resident center provide all the toilets and showers we need, I don't think it is a big inconvience to the workers. In fact, we should require all outside workers to use the maintainance shop bathrooms ONLY as a way of tracking where they are in light of the 7 incidents of theft recently. It is time to consoladate and cut back on the waste. Why not eliminate 2 bathhouses and put in pay showers, perhaps those who want to take endless HOT showers at our expense will opt for a water conservation one at their own place! The bathhouses are unsupervised areas and at the very least should be locked during the same hours as QUIET time while the BOD explores the legality of closing 2. Why open the Grill at all when all it does is loose $. Why staff the resident center when the staff at the pro shop are UNDER utilized MOST of the day, it's been working out with people going there for recreation equiptment and entertainment tickets can be purchased there also or at the welcome center. Please BOD, save us some $, sure would be nice to REDUCE our condo fees, now that is a legacy worth remembering! Wouldn't you be proud to say you served on a BOD that did that!
