OLD BUSINESS:
The President asked if we could spend a few hundred dollars to install a hand rail between the clubhouse and the sidewalk. Several people have fallen and quite a few have trouble with the incline there. This is needed for safety reasons. All present agreed this would be OK, with one exception. Its was discussed that we had 2 bids to construct and install, with one being $1250.00 and the other for $950.00. Paul and Frank went to Lowe's and Home Depot to see if there were any other options. They found several options varying from $100.00 to over $300 if we do the job ourselves. A motion to purchase a composite fence type railing with four posts was made by Paul and seconded by Mary Hurst. Motion was voted on with 4 voting for it and Bob Ayers against.
The president brought up for discussion again, the possibility of obtaining a 16 x 36 canopy on the pool side over the windows. After a little discussion, all present thought it be be a good thing. The canopy will be put on the ballot at the next membership meeting since it is capital improvement.
NEW BUSINESS:
Frank Sykes discussed the situation regarding the new code restrictions on the spa having to be met by July 25th, 2010. Mikelson Pool said it would be estimated at $30,000 to bring the spa up to code by installing a tank near the shed running to the spa. After much discussion the decision was made to find more information and more estimates and/or solutions to the spa problem.
A motion to close the meeting was made by Mary Hurst and seconded by John Castiglia. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
