President’s Report – Lloyd
Lloyd reported that he has been unable to find someone to do our
required annual
financial review for the past two years and asked the board for
suggestions. A board
member suggested a neighborhood resident who might be willing to do
this. There is a
$300 stipend for completing reviews for 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. (The
neighbor as since
agreed to do this)

Kelly was unable to attend this meeting but sent the current information

Hazel reported that there have been several correspondences between CSCA
and
our attorneys regarding the recent lawsuit. Copies of all have been
filed and stored
electronically.

thanks Cheryl.

Jacque – update on Waterford trash contract
Jacque was unable to attend the meeting, but we have all received the
notification sent out by the Township. Still many questions about what
the services will entail. While the fees are definitely lower, some
services are unclear. Will await further information from Township.

slip holders.

Jiri and John – security
Jiri has been researching updating the solar panels on the light/camera
areas. While the current system is operating well, he is considering
upgrading. After discussion, Cheryl moved that the Board approve up
to $300 for Jiri to upgrade the solar panels at his discretion. John
seconded; Board approved unanimously.
John and Lloyd – Update on lawsuit
John and Lloyd have been working closely with the attorney – many
e-mails!
Interrogatories and discoveries on both sides have been completed. CSCA
has filed a
counter claim against defendants for trespassing. Depositions have been
set for
September – specific dates to follow. Court date in in May,2020.
Jiri asked about ways to preserve these valuable hard copy records which
are now
in boxes. Iron Mountain was suggested but is pricey. Alex offered a
private safe. Jiri
suggested the records crould be digitized. He will research scanning as
a possibility and
will keep the Board updated.
Board Memberships for 2020-21
Lloyd announced his plan to retire from the board next year. He plans to
resign as
of next May 30. He will remain in an advisory position at least until
the lawsuit is settled.
He will continue to be available as needed.
While your secretary (me) remained silent at this time, I, too, will be
resigning. I will
make sure that all records, etc. are ready to be transferred seamlessly
to a successor!
Schedule next board meeting:
October 15 at Cheryl’s home!
