Meeting Minutes
Members Present: Kurt Miericke, Ray Biechele, Sue Beveridge, Joan Grodski, Susan Mueller, Luis Rios, Bruce Lieske, Pat Stanforth and Jim Mathews (newsletter editor).
Members Absent: Ron Schroeder
The meeting was held at Sue’s house, 1834 Seneca Blvd. Kurt called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM.
Meeting Minutes: The meeting minutes from the previous meeting, August 28th, were approved.
The annual meeting minutes from 2006 were also distributed. Pat will make 40 copies of the annual minutes and the budget for the next annual meeting.
Treasurer’s Report: Sue presented the proposed 2007 budget. The corporate expense for 2007 was changed to $70 and then the proposed budget was approved.
Sue presented the 2006 final numbers. Net income was $13,065 above the estimated income of $12,260 due to addition dues and newsletter ads. Expenses were $11,911.05 about $50 less than budgeted. This gave a positive actual-to-budget variance of $1,153.95. Board members noted that a positive flow occurred, in part, as there weren’t any capital improvements this year nor unexpected expenses. Two-hundred three homes paid their 2006 dues.
The second invoice for 2007 dues will be sent before the annual meeting. The invoice will contain the budget.
Deed Restrictions: Luis reported that a home is for sale with open permits.
SR 417: Ray attended an Express Authority meeting. No further meetings are scheduled at this time. The website www.floridasturnpike.com contains a video that explains the uses and limitations of sound walls.
Fall Fest: Due to poor turnout, Kurt suggested this event not be held again. He believes events in CW itself will be better attended. He also suggested that someone organize outings to events such as plays and that those events be advertised to CW through the newsletter and emails. The next board will have to make the final decisions.
Annual Meeting: The annual meeting will be held on Thursday, Feb. 22nd at 7:15 pm at the Oviedo Library. Kurt presented the agenda which was approved without comment. WS Police Chief Kerr will speak.
The nominating committee met. Terms are up for Kurt and Ron. Bruce is filling in as John Gallagher’s replacement as John stepped down in the middle of his term. This term is over as well. The minimum numbers of nominees have been found as Ron, Bruce, and a new recruit, Chris Waguespack, will all run. The newsletter and an email will advertise the openings as well to determine if others in the community wish to join the Board. Kurt is not running again. However, he offered his services on any committee.
Signs at each entrance will advertise the annual meeting. After the meeting, the signs will display the number of paid members.
Various board members will bring baked goods to the meeting. Kurt is bringing bottled water and paper products.
Miscellaneous: The chlorine content in the water and the WI-FI proposal for the city were discussed.
Joan offered her home for the next board meeting. The date will be determined after the election.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 PM.
Respectfully submitted by Pat Stanforth, secretary.
