General Meeting Minutes August 6, 1:00 p.m. Club House



A.    Call to Order – Chris Dean
The meeting was called to order at 1 p.m.

B.     Approval  of Minutes 6-30-16
No changes were recommended and minutes were approved with all in favor.

C.     Review of Financial Statements – Dan Davis
Dan reported on the following:
Profit & Loss Jan thru July
Net Income - under $20,000 (7-month period). Repair and maintenance of the water and sewer plants are our biggest expenses.

Balance Sheet – As of July 31
Bank Balance – total Savings and Checking $131,857, Clubhouse debt is $77,871

D.    Vote on Spending Alternatives -
The Voting Alternatives were discussed and questions were addressed prior to the voting.  A quorum was established and Walt Pitt and Gene Klumper counted the votes.  Results were:

1)      23 votes – pay off the clubhouse loan ($77,871) and use savings and dues after expenses for road repair.
2)      17 votes – pay $40,000 on the clubhouse and use available funds to start road repairs.
3)      5 votes – pay zero down on the clubhouse and use funds to repair the roads.

The majority vote was #1 to pay the off clubhouse loan.  Members were all in agreement, and there were no objections to pay off the loan.

Chris stated we will need to appoint a committee to identify road repairs and set target dates for the repairs as funds become available. Members discussed the feasibility of the county taking over the roads anytime in the near future, and it was agreed it would probably not be in the near future.  We are 9th on the list at the County Commissioner’s office for the county to take over one mile of Austin and Jackson Place.  Jackson has only a base and no asphalt layer.  The county would require Oak Creek to have a two-inch cap laid prior to the county taking over the roads.


Chris stated that we need to consider moving over to a HOA association instead of POA so that the lot owners would not be able to control the votes.  It requires 75% of members’ votes to change the covenants.  Chris asked everyone start thinking about this.

E.     POA member’s letter – no report
Water drainage problem -
F.      Review of Water and Sewer Systems- John Goff
The 2nd Quarter we did not pass the e.coli test at the sewer plant.  An ultra violet light went out, and it was not replaced.   The light has been replaced and this issue has been addressed with our contractors who did not catch this.  A letter has been sent to DNR that the light has been replaced.
           
G.    Swimming Pool and Club house- Marc Foreman
Chris reported that a new A/C wall unit was installed and is working well at a cost of $3,500.

H.    Cutting and Cleaning Right Ways/Ditches- Chris Dean
Chris said this needs to be done on Oak Creek Circle and some on Austin Place.  If anyone knows a contractor or would like to volunteer contact Chris.

I.       Miscellaneous
-New Home Owners – New homeowners introduced themselves.
-Email Addresses - Chris asked that members send their updated email address to Connie Andersen, Secretary, oakcreek20006@yahoo.com so that they can be added to the official Oak Creek Parkway group email list to receive newsletters, minutes, water reports and water shutoff repair notices.
-Collection of Dues - Maggie Pitt suggested collecting dues less frequently in order to save money (quarterly, semi-annually or annually).  Chris stated this would cause accounting issues.

Oak Creek also has a blog where members can find minutes and DNR reports, etc. www.oakcreekparkway.blogspot.com

J.       Adjournment – meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m., Al Mitchell motioned, Mike Pearson seconded, all in favor.
