B. Bob Terpening – Continental Pools:
Mr. Terpening suggested a new piece of equipment that would save on electricity and help to extend the life of the pumps. The Greenleaf pool would want to get it in January. Continental will offer a 10% discount if they do the work in the fall or winter. The repair work would come out of the Reserve funds. There were no issues at the pool this past summer, it was a good season. The Handicap lifts were not used at all but they are ready! Twenty more outside memberships were sold this year than last year. The Board suggested they would like to see the bathrooms kept cleaner.

C. There were no Homeowners present to address the Board.

IV. MANAGEMENT REPORT

A. Pool Management Renewal Addendum:
Continental Pools proposed no increase for 2013 and 2014. The Board noticed Continental had inserted the wrong dates on the contract and would need to be changed to reflect the 2013 and 2014 pool season. They have been happy with their service and the Community has a relationship with Continental. Motion: Hire Continental Pools for the 2013 and 2014 seasons subject to the dates being changed on the contract to the correct dates. Struntz/Fowler Vote: Unanimous

B. Fall Pool Repairs:
Continental is offering a 10% discount if they receive the signed proposal by 10/15/12. All money comes from the reserves. Motion: That we sign the contract in October for the fall pool repairs. Jackson/Fowler Vote: Unanimous

D. Reserve Balance Adjustment:
It was noted that there was a discrepancy between the projections made by the Reserve Advisors for the General Reserve balance as of 12/31/12. Based upon this analysis, The General Reserves would be considered by your auditors to be under funded based upon current AICPA auditing standards. A similar analysis of the Townhouse Reserve balance is showing that the Townhouse Reserves are over funded. It is suggested the Board approve the following: 1. Transfer cash from operating to reserves in the amount of $48,516.39 to fund the General Reserves deficiency. 2. Make an adjustment to Equity to transfer $48,516.39 from prior year’s income/loss (Acct#5510) to Reserves – General (Acct#5110). Motion: Make a motion that we move the $48,516.39 to the General Reserves deficiency. Struntz/Fowler Vote: Unanimous

E. Bad Debt Write-Off:

1. *********** (*****): The property was foreclosed on and subsequently transferred to a new homeowner. All amounts due from the mortgage company and the new owner have been paid. The pre-forecloser balance is ****** that needs to be written off. Motion: Approve to write off. Struntz/Fowler Vote: Unanimous
