Minutes of Annual Meeting
Homeowner’s Association of Spalding Green
November 21, 2005
On Wednesday, November 21, 2005 at the appointed time as set forth in the Notice properly sent and delivered to the membership in accordance with the Bylaws of the Association, the 2005 annual meeting was called to order at approximately 7:40pm. Attendance, including proxies, exceeded the 30% required pursuant to the Bylaws to constitute a quorum.
The first order of business was a recital by Secretary Jonathan Ginsberg of the minutes of the annual 2004 meeting. Following the presentation of the 2004 minutes a motion was made and seconded to approve said minutes. The 2004 minutes were thereafter adopted unanimously by voice vote.
Mark Light of the ACC then gave the committee’s report and noted that by in large, homeowners had been in substantial compliance with the covenants. During the course of the year, several warning letters were issued for infractions such as:
- garbage cans left on the street too long
- garbage cans not hidden from street view
- play equipment not properly stored
- lawn chairs and toys not stored and left in view
- weeds out of control
Mark also noted that any request to the ACC must be in writing
Mike King then reported about the new developments next to the subdivision. He noted that developer Bobby Chapman had purchased the 13 acre strip and planned to build 25 or 26 houses. The size, frontage and price range of these new homes will be within the specifications previously agreed to by Mr. Chapman and prior developers. Construction will start in February, 2005.
Treasurer David Warren presented the treasurer’s report and noted that the Association’s finances were steady with sufficient funds to maintain landscaping and lighting. There will be some need for additional landscaping at the front of the subdivision whereby 8 trees will need to be removed at a cost of $2,200. Dues for 2006 will increase from $250 to $275 per home per year. The treasurer’s report was approved by voice vote.
The next item of business was elections for association offices for 2006-2007. The following individuals were nominated. No office was contested and each new officer was approved by voice vote:
President - David Warren
Vice President - Charlene Galanti
Secretary - Angela Bleacher
Treasurer - Robb Stein
Parliamentarian - Fred Brasch
The outgoing Board also announced that the following individuals had been selected to serve on the ACC:
Lisa Reisman
Mark Light
Larry Nemeth
Mike King
The members present then thanked the outgoing Board for its efforts.
Robb Stein raised the issue of whether the association needed to purchase insurance to protect the members of the Board from personal liability arising from association activity. Miriam Burgess stated that she would obtain a quote. A motion was made and approved that the Board could spend up to $1,500 to purchase this insurance.
Outgoing president Sheron Barnaby then reported to the Association about the recent peeping tom incidents in and around the neighborhood. Sheron announced that an individual had been arrested but had been released and apparently had resumed his activities. Sheron advised any homeowner who spotted a peeping tom should call 911 and advise the dispatch that this is an active case and not to hold the call.
After a general discussion about this issue a motion was made and seconded to adjourn.
--Respectfully submitted,
Jonathan Ginsberg
