Treasurer’s Report.

(2) Lois made clarification as to accounting codes for BFHA expenses and amended a couple, nothing significant enough to go into detail.

New Business:

(1) Fence situation at Champions Green Court: Dick has builder ready to go. More expensive than originally planned ($2200). Dick drafted agreement for affected Homeowners to sign stating homeowners will assume ownership and maintenance of fence once erected.

(2) Results of letters sent to Homeowners with violations of covenants, conditions, and restriction: Dick reported that he has sent numerous letters to Association members dealing with said violations and reports that they seem to be having the desired effect, with one or two exceptions. Dick will continue with this procedure.

(3) Electrical Situation at front entrance: Cost is now $4173. Dick found all conduits. Work and planning is in progress, should be complete shortly.

(c) Had 45 families sign up with new addresses and emails at the October Association function.

(e) All Board members gave a hearty well done and thank you for the great job Vonderei did in coordinating, planning and executing the Association outing in October.

(5) Budget Meeting: Board discussed and developed next year’s budget. Dues for next year will be $175 per household. Lois will finalize the numbers and print the budget work sheet for the Association Annual Meeting in January.

(6) Bob Wagner showed for a few minutes and offered the following:

(a) Bob had the Madison Fire Department check into the Safety issue of cars parked in the street within the sub-division. The Fire Department reported to Bob that there were no safety issues, cars did not appear to be a hindrance to emergency vehicles and therefore the city cannot do anything about tenants parking in the streets.

(b) Bob reported that there was money in the city budget for sidewalks in the sub-division.

(c) Bob reported that the city did intend to put a pedestrian cross-walk along Hughes Road in front of the sub-division. Bob reported that it was state money being used to pay for this and the City therefore needed to wait for the state to send the money before work can proceed.

(d) Stop light at Gillespie and Wall Triana is going in soon. Same for the intersection at Palmer and Sullivan Streets.

(e) Bob is re-starting his monthly “Meet your councilman” meetings. He will start conducting these meetings in November and will schedule them every third Sunday from 4:00 to 5:00PM in Madison City Hall’s large courtroom. All individuals and groups are invited.

(f) City web site will now list all road construction, road projects, and sewer projects in the city and their completion status.

(g) The Board will also start to forward Bob’s monthly Newsletter to Mike Johnson for posting to the web.

Old Business:

(2) Nothing else significant to report.
