Parsons Ken Krushenski Brad Sharp called the meeting to order and introduced the board members attending. Susan Gann and Susan Woods will be leaving the board. Glenn Brook had resigned in the fall and a temporary replacement was appointed by the board, Ken Weston. Members will ask to vote on the election of Ken Weston, who will take over membership responsibilities; Kathleen Cherry and Rose Warren. Michael Laman is up for re-election. Brad went over the 2022 season highlights: On the positive side, the end of school party and 4 th of July Party were reinstated. For challenges, we had the lightening strike which damaged the gate system, the recording camera, the pavilion roof (fallen tree) and the fence. Also, there was an issue of algae caused by things being used at the lake being taken into the pool. Susan Gann, treasurer, reported that overall, it has been a good year. Approximately $90,000. Was received from O&M, share sales and rentals. Expenses were reduced. Less was paid in guard salaries, fewer repairs, the rock is saving from having to purchase mulch, the grill was paid off. Also, we replaced some furniture and bought a pump. We had around $33,000 net income and the current balance is about $60,000. Frank Moore, maintenance, indicated that the chlorine supply is no longer an issue as a new plant has opened up. The gate system is fixed. There are plans to re-roof the pavilion and guard/bathroom building. J. Rome suggested buying a lightning rod. George Murphy stated that when he did maintenance that he would have a business have an extra pump on hand, so if one went out it could be quickly replaced. Frank indicated that replacing the pump is no longer an issue. Frank indicated that the fence will also be repaired. He recommended taking out the trees on the pool property in phases. He indicated that a privacy fence could be put up as well as a lean-to to provide shade. J. Rome stated that he believes the hemlocks need to be taken down due to their condition. Frank indicated that based on previous estimates, the tree removal will be around $12,000. He will need to get an updated estimate. The privacy fence and lean-to would cost between $8,000. & $10,000. He indicated that the project will take 2 to 3 years to complete. J. Luckman ask if the fence would look like one that is seen at a junk yard and ask about planting plants. Frank pointed out that if plants were to be put out, someone would have to take care of them and that it has been his experience that volunteers are hard to find […]
Greetings, Thanks again to everyone who has RSVP’d for the upcoming annual meeting. An agenda will be emailed to members by Friday, February 17 th . One item we’ll need to address during the meeting will be to vote for new BCC Board Members. Susan Gann (Treasurer), Susan Woods (Secretary), and Glenn Brook (Membership) have all completed their two terms on the board. Mike Laman (Lifeguards) has completed his first term but has interest in running for a second term. We have had three BCC members express interest in serving on the board: * Rose Ann Warren: Rose has served on the Emory Valley Board of Directors in the past, where she was Treasurer. We are glad to have Rose as a new member of the BCC. * Kathleen Cherry: Kathleen volunteered during our “Post-season Pool Clean-up Day” and was approached about the possibility of joining the BCC board. She has experience working on non-profit Boards. * Ken Weston: Ken expressed a willingness to take over the ‘membership’ board position. When Glenn had to step away from his board position due to work obligations, the BCC board appointed Ken his temporary replacement, so he could properly begin training. If you won’t be able to join us at the upcoming annual meeting, please consider the aforementioned board member candidates.
