New Business:

Ø           Roger Nicholson advised that air-conditioning replacement for the Clubhouse will be added to the replacement plan.

Ø           Kevin Byrne received a request from Norma Pratt to begin an SLV Sing-a-Long group.  Kevin recommends allowing her temporary use of the Clubhouse before determining whether or not to make the group official.  BOT consensus agreed.

Ø           Kevin Byrne advised the SLV Endowment Fund Committee has determined that obtaining approval to allow for tax deferred donations to SLV is not attainable.  Consensus of the Board of Trustees is to continue the corporate status of the Endowment Fund.

Ø           Ned Hammond would like the Board’s consideration to install stop signs where the painted stops signs are on the roads.  If approved, stop signs will no longer be painted on the roads.  The consensus of the Board of Trustees is to go ahead with the project.

Ø           In reference to the monetary donations made to the Association, Fr. Joe Quinlan has received a request for a laptop computer and projector for use at BOT meetings, and another for a new fountain in front of the Clubhouse.  The consensus for the BOT is to purchase the computer and projector.

Ø           Roger Nicholson recommends BOT increase the Capital Equity fee from ¾ of 1% of the sale price of the unit to 1%.  The consensus of the BOT is to increase the Capital Equity fee effective January 1st.  A motion will be made at the August Business Meeting.

Ø           Ray Johnson reviewed the proposed replacement plan for 2005. 

 

Trustees’ Reports

 

Ø           Roger Nicholson has received recommendations for ground renovations from the Grounds Committee.  He will present them to the Board at a future meeting.

Ø           Roger Nicholson would like the BOT to enforce Association policy to not remove foundation plantings unless they are a maintenance problem or dead.  Other requests will be completed only if time allows.  Maintenance has assisted residents with shrub removal in the past.

Ø           Roger Nicholson reviewed the open work orders with the Board of Trustees.  A large number of them are for concrete replacement.

Ø           Roger Nicholson advised Brinkerhoff Engineering will supply a copy of the completed application for the water allocation permit shortly.

Ø           Ned Hammond advised that work at 7 Loch Arbor has been delayed due to permit requirements by the Department of Environmental Protection.

Ø           Ned Hammond advised that Andover Court sewerage renovation will cost approximately $66,000.

Ø           Ned Hammond is receiving proposals from outside contractors for gutter repairs and cleaning.

Ø           Ned Hammond has a proposal for an addition (20’ x 30’) for the golf course shed with a cost of $30,685 not including permits and tax.  A motion will be made to begin the expansion at the August Business Meeting.

Ø           Ned Hammond advised concrete replacement has been delayed due to frequent rain.

Ø           Ned Hammond is waiting on a proposal from two garbage removal companies for the entire Village.

Ø           Cathleen Sullivan advised that a resident in violation of parking procedures has paid the $25 fine charged by the Violations Committee.

Ø           Cathleen Sullivan would like the BOT to consider requiring cars that should be in garages to have another color sticker.  This would improve Security’s ability to determine who is in violation.

Ø           Walter Lohmann advised that August 27 is the deadline for bids on the unclaimed canoe.

Ø           Kevin Byrne advised that the BOT will be attending the CAI conference on September 18th from 8 am – 2pm.
