The meeting called to order at 7:40 p.m. by Bill Cook.

Minutes:  The minutes of the previous board meeting on May 16, 2002, were reviewed, corrections made, and submitted to Peter Blondin for posting to the Cluster’s website.

  Old Business: 

1.        Jim submitted outdoor light fixture specs to RA.  The RA approved the mission style lights and NOT the brass ones.  Jim also noted panel style metal front doors.  This includes a wood-grain finish metal door.  Jim also provided a list of the new board members to the RA.  This means that the mission style lights can be used to replace old porch lights without submitting anything to anyone.  Jim will get copies of the designs from RA and post to the web site.

2.       There were a series of attempts to correct Comcast to have them repair an electrical cable to one of the cluster lights while they were installing cable.  One more attempt will be made.  If unsuccessful, the board will have the repair made, rather than leave a potentially liable situation.

3.       One light pole that is missing a base plate, and another pole with a screw loose, were identified, and Jim will get a replacement plate from Home Depot.  He will also get a piece of tempered glass to repair the broken fixture.

4.       New business item  from last meeting was revisited, and clarification made that the cluster dues would be increased to $300.  The special assessment would continue for now at $80 per quarter for a total quarterly billing of $380.  The financial situation will be reviewed following the receipt of paving bids to see if we may be able to lower the dues or when we may be able to discontinue the special assessment.

  New Business: 

1.       Bill pointed out that he had been given several cluster blueprints & design documents.  Some appeared to be original documents and the condition of several were deteriorating.  Jim will look into having a reprographics firm copy them to a graphics file on CD-ROM.

2.       Tom noted that several residents along the Lakewinds I cluster side of Lakewinds Drive had noticed dust-colored sediment in their water since the dredging in the lake had begun.  He will call the Health and Water Departments to report the condition.

3.        Tom Mulkerin signed several checks, and Bill co-signed several pending bills that were in excess of $2000.  Tom will get new signature cards from the bank for new board members.

4.       Linda will put a request for proposals out to a selected list of bidders for the pending street repaving by July 1 with a 30-day response time.  All proposals received will be reviewed and a contractor selected at the next board meeting.

5.       It was noted that several of the propane tanks that have been installed are still without screens.  The owners will be reminded that the approval was based upon screens being installed with along with the tanks.

6.       (RA approved deck – from Linda – which deck?)

Next meeting:  Tuesday, 15 August 2002 at 7:30 pm at Jan’s home. 

Meeting Adjournment: Adjourned at 9:50 pm.
