The meeting was called to order by President, Perry England. 22 homes were represented. Perry reminded everyone that no one is to use the Bortko driveway under any circumstances and that everyone, including all children, should be respectful of our neighbors. The rules include using the Beach Club during daylight hours only. Emergency contacts are posted on www.sammamishbeachclub.com, but everyone is encouraged to call the police if any inappropriate activity is observed.
Merrilee reviewed the financial statement with on-going yearly expenses separate from Improvements. 111 homes are current out of 136; 5 are overdue for 2 years; and 20 for more than 3 years. Perry mentioned that it is the Board’s intention to build up a reserve fund to cover unplanned or unexpected expenses. Money will be transferred to that fund every year. Dues are set at $130 for 2013 and payable before June 15. A $10 late fee will be added after that.
The Board was introduced and as per our bylaws, we need a total of 8 members. Van Lanning retired, and the Board recommended Bob Milam to replace him. There being no nominations from the floor, Bob was unanimously voted in.
It was noted that someone has put the swim platform into the water. It will need to be cleaned up and anchored properly before use.
Tom reported that the lock has been in for repairs. Previous problems are hopefully resolved.
Perry reviewed the PowerPoint presentation showing the bathroom remodel (with thanks to Roger Childs) and all other improvements and repairs that have been made.
