Community Meeting
Salem Woods Civic Association
August 9, 2007
Meeting was called to order at 6:35 p.m. by president, Dr. Barry Ezell. Board members present included Heidi Rosen, Jim Bayley, Sarah Ezell, Thomas Adams, Amy Martinez, Jim Newton, Maureen Newton, Pete Leavitt, and Dave Leonard. See attached list for community members present.
Dr. Ezell stated that the purpose of this meeting was to conduct a small amount of SWCA business with the emphasis on the disposition of the Tennis Courts and Small Pool. He stated that for the board to move forward, 28 members (10%) must be present. Currently the membership totals are 275 SWCA members with 97 pool memberships.
Dr. Ezell moved that the minutes from the last meeting be approved. Mr. Newton seconded. Motion passed.
Mr. Jim Bayley, treasurer, presented an overview of the financial health of the association. He stated that for the past several years the shortfall has been up to $15,000. This year Mr. Bayley predicts approximately $57,000 in income with $59,000 in expenses. He also stated that the pool might break even for the 2007 season. Mr. Bayley stated that currently SWCA has approximately $75,000 in reserves and approximately $30,000 in held assets. The assets are potential liabilities to homeowners that hold refundable deposits with the association.
Ms. Sarah Ezell, welcome committee, stated that over the past two months, eight homes of new residents have been visited. Of these eight, one SWCA and one pool membership to date have been realized. Start up cost for the welcome packet was $270. Ms. Ezell stated that if this success continues, the program will more than pay for itself.
Ms. Ezell also briefed the community on the upcoming recreation events. She stated that Delegate Welsh would be funding the Labor Day Cookout at the pool.
Mr. Jim Newton, facilities director, briefed the community on the condition of the tennis courts and small pool. He presented cost estimates for repairs and demolition for both. See attached slides for detailed information. Several issues were discussed by those present. Mr. Newton stated that the time frame to complete phase one of the project would be approximately four days after onset.
Dr. Ezell provided a recap and opened the floor for community discussion. Some of the issues raised included more lighting in the area, the picnic area could attract potential problems, and whether a Community Center was feasible. All concerns will be taken under advisement by the board.
