Minutes of Annual Meeting November 17, 2016 upon approval of Residents was accepted as published in WEB with Fred Gottschalk repeating Vote take on Motion Passed “for dues paid monthly must be received no later than 10^th day of each month; dues paid quarterly must be paid by the 10^th day of the first month of the quarter (January, April, July and October) or resident will be assessed a $10 late fee for each month delinquent.   Future discussion to consider discount for those who may choose to pay annually.”  Board decided to offer a 5% discount for those who pay annually.  About 17 residents paid annually in 2016.  Many residents now pay monthly rather than quarterly and we recommend people to convert from paying quarterly to monthly or annually.

Motion passed to approve Financial Report given by Ed Ganey, Treasurer, and a Summary of Income and Expenditures actual January through October and estimated November and December with a current cash balance as of November 3, 2016 of $75,759.00 including two months of Reserve for expense of $20,710 and remaining balance Reserved for Contingencies.  Residents indicated they would like to see quarterly income and expenses posted on the WEB.  Residents were informed they had the right to examine the financial records of the HOA once a month with notice given to the Business Manager.  It has been the policy to provide in Income and Expenses Summaries to any Resident upon their request.

1. Upon approval of the Residents a change in the published agenda was made. Update on New Construction-Multi Housing on North Side with David Self developer and owner talking and taking numerous questions.  Project is now called Copper Ridge Condominiums and can be found under visionaryconstruction.net will consist of four buildings on the upper lot with 15 condos in each building amounting to 60 condos on the upper lot and two buildings having 30 condos on the lower lot.  Three floors per building Condos will cost $189,000 to $230,000 with nine different floor plans all ranch style.  Garages will be provided and a gazebo area is planned to be located near the lower area of the upper lot.  Residents stated that the area should be renamed differently than Copper Ridge to avoid confusion with the fact the Multi Housing is a separate HOA than Copper Ridge 114 homes.  David Self said he would consider a change in Name.

Terry Kocsis reported on the Request for Bids on landscaping and Snow Removal and we have about six or seven organizations who appear to be submitting bids by December 1 and the Board will interview all organizations who bid and a decision is to be made in mid January 2017.
