NORTHRIDGE VILLAGE HOA ANNUAL MEETING
October 26, 2006
1. Call to Order. President Annie Neroda called the meeting to order at 6:40 p.m.
2. Roll Call. Homeowners present were: Sandra Groman, David & Annie Neroda, Jim Tomlinson, Tamara Zuckerman, Evie Sutherland, Lynn Wiletsky, Penny Peterson, James & Megan Sult, Lisbeth Blankenship, Irwin & Thea Goldstein, Paul & Brenda Moser, Jim Teilborg, Rich & Dori Weber, Terry Harper.
3. Approval of Minutes from 2005 Annual Meeting. A motion to approve the minutes from the 2005 annual meeting was made and seconded; motion passed unanimously.
4. President?’s Report. Annie Neroda, President, gave her report which is attached hereto.
5. Treasurer?’s Report. Jim Tomlinson, Treasurer, presented his report, distributed the reserve analysis sheet with expenses through 8/31/06 and remarked on financial reporting issues that he believes need to be resolved. Annie Neroda directed homeowners to the pie charts included in the meeting packet which showed the year-to-date expenses, year-end expense projections and preliminary 2007 budget. Extraordinary expenses were significant increases in water/sewer billings (possibly due to major leaks), rat control and ramada repairs; the latter two expenses were paid from Reserves. Discussion was held on the financials and the Board?’s intention to review the water/sewer and rat control issues with the goal of reducing expenses for 2007. The Board will request a sewer rate adjustment from the City for 2007. This will require assistance from all homeowners to identify all of their plantings in atriums and patio areas. Updating the antiquated irrigation system, which will span several years, will commence in 2007 and will be paid from Reserves. The new type of winter grass sown recently and irrigation system updates will eventually reduce water bills, but the cost savings will not be realized for several months. The possibility of converting to individual water meters was discussed. At the present time, due to several budget items still being negotiated with vendors, the Board is not proposing a specific increase in monthly dues. It is possible that this will occur, however, and another homeowners meeting will be scheduled when review of the financials is completed and budget items finalized.
6. Annual Business/General Discussion. Several new items were discussed:
a) Terry Harper, Irwin Goldstein and Megan Sult volunteered to serve on the 2007 Architectural Committee. Paul Moser agreed to be an Alternate Member.
b) A committee to research the possibilities of converting to individual water meters was created. Irwin Goldstein, Sandra Groman and Lynn Wiletsky volunteered to serve on the committee.
c) Megan Sult, Penny Peterson, Betsy Blankenship, Rich and Dori Weber, Terry Harper, Sandra Groman, Paul Moser and Lynn Wiletsky volunteered to paint the ramada stucco walls in November (exact date to be determined).
d) The annual Holiday party will be held December 3rd at Penny Peterson?’s house.
e) A community yard sale will be held along Orangewood on Saturday, November 18. Penny Peterson and Betsy Blankenship will coordinate the event.
f) Pet owners were reminded to keep their dogs on a leash and clean up waste.
g) The gas bill for the pool BBQ costs approximately $30/month. Since the grill is used so infrequently, homeowners decided to turn the gas off and put in a propane tank. When homeowners want to use the BBQ, it will be their responsibility to fill the tank if empty.
h) A phone/address/email contact list was passed around for homeowners to update. Any further changes should be sent to Wendy Wolfenden, Property Manager.
7. Election of Board Members. Ballots from members in attendance and those who couldn?’t be at the meeting but submitted ballots were counted by volunteers. The 2007 Board of Directors is: Annie Neroda, Lynn Wiletsky, Penny Peterson, Mercy Sciotto and Jim Sult.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Wendy Wolfenden, Acting Secretary
